David

         thanx for the nice response... I live in Vegas... and you?  I have
two 4x5 cameras, so if I get a duplicate lens, I can try this for a
reasonable price.  I look forward to seeing yours on your web site.  I also
shoot landscapes.

    What dual cable release would you recommend?  Where to buy it?  How
important is it for them to be perfectly synced?  I would think unless you
have a lot of motion it should not be that critical... or is it?

    I'll first try shooting on a slide bar with one camera, and then use two
cameras.  I would have to buy another lens to accomplish this... so I want
to be sure I like what I see.  But to view on your viewer, you have to
enlarge these to 8x10, correct?

I would love to see your work sometime....

Regards
Bill
