Plaubel Proshift vs Silvestri H

[quixotic]

I can't think of anything to report with regard to image quality (they're both great...the attached image is from the Plaubel). But ergonomically and work-flow-wise, I'd like to give the Plaubel +2 (for the much better hand-holdability, and the inability to forget to take out the dark-slide...there isn't one to take out), and the Silvestri +1 (it has the best bubble level system I've ever seen on a camera, since you see the bubble doing its thing as you're looking through the viewfinder). Cost was perhaps a bit more for the Silvestri, but I don't recall a huge difference.

Please excuse the poor framing, but I was using the wrong size viewfinder (I have the roughly the right size coming in the mail...a Voigtlander 21mm/25mm).

Oh, and mega-brownie points for anyone who recognizes either the architect or the building. Hint: it made it on to a Canadian postage stamp.

I just remembered another +1 for the Silvestri: you can switch between 6x9 and 6x7 and 645, whereas you're stuck with 6x9 for the Plaubel.

If you're referring to the theatre at the college, you're very, very close. It's St. Mary's Church in Red Deer, but it was also designed by Douglas Cardinal (one of Canada's true flesh and blood treasures).
