If you can buy ONE LF camera...

Well, I don't know that any camera would ever fit all of our needs since we're such a diverse group. I loved my Eastman #2 5X7 but love my Kodak Master (with 8X10 and 5X7 backs and a 4X5 forthcoming) even more. It is rock solid. I was out shooting in a nasty cross wind last weekend and all of the pictures came out crisp. Never would have happened with the Eastman. Of course, my Jim Galli G-Claron helped too. My only concern when I bought the camera is that it would miss having one made of wood. That hasn't proven to be the case.

Cheers, James

I would love to own a 8X10 Dorf
