And now for something completely different!

Yes, I have been watching too many late night documentaries on the art channel about famous photographers.

I have always love photography... I have a couple of Cannon 35mm bodies... a bag full of lens... an old Fugica 120... and a Nikon digital pocket camera...

So what I need is...

A LARGE FORMAT CAMERA of course!

Anyone play with these things? What should I look for? What should I avoid?

Where do I buy film? Where do you get it developed? Develop it yourself?
(Kicked around the idea of setting up a darkroom for years)

I am thinking of buying used and would like to keep it down to $1000 or less.
I presume at that price I am limited to 4 X 5 (would like to go 8 X10 but also presume that is out of my price range).

I know there are some pro and semi pro photographer hanging out here so please help me out!

Thanks in advance,
Scott
