[LargeFormat] "Sharing" LF Equipment

[Robert Mayrand]

Hello everybody,

Just realise that the lens from Bob is a bit too much to handle, on the
other hand the lesn of Mark would be just fine! ;-).

I'm doing 4X5 and would like to get a lens better suited for this format. My
bellows reach about 20inces. Anything between 75mm to 210mm might suit me
better (but 90m to 150mm would be even better). Other things I'm looking for
is a good loupe and some developping tank. If you got anything that might
help me in getting me started please contact me.
