>>4467655really I'm just venting
it's not so much an upward trend, more it feels all the decent deals already got picked off and there have been no replacement listings
the reason I'm not considering a view camera is partly because I just want the more convenient SLR experience
but the main reason is because I'm not looking to get this camera to shoot film — the only reason I shoot film is because I've wanted to use this camera
I already do film because I told this to a friend and he went "don't buy a 680 lol we have MF at home" and gave me all his gear
so while I'm extremely grateful, been making the best of what I have and yeah it's fun but also feels like cope
if I was actually serious and not just trying to larp as a 90s product photographer I'd invest in a tethered digital technical camera setup
but now we're talking actual can't afford and not just "ree why things spensy"
>>4467660you know that's a very good point
