Re: infrared and medium format--what camera to buy?

[PHOTO-TECH <photo-tech@xxxxxxxx>]

	I can highly recommend the RB-67. It's a fully
manual camera therefore doesn't depend on batteries for
shutter timing. It has interchangeable backs so you can swap
film in mid-roll or even use a Polaroid if you want to. And
when you use the Polaroid you get a good size image. 645
'roids are just a little on the dinky side. It has a well
developed system supporting it as the Mamiya RB has been in
production over 30 years and there are plenty of them still
in service. The current version is the RB-67 Pro SD.
