@shaun365 The 6x17 is a joy to shoot with. It's very fast to work with, unlike my LF gear. There is no built-in meter, so you must use an external meter. I use a sekonic 558 spotmeter.
@beatsiz Thanks! The 6x17 is a blast to shoot with. I couldn't justify the expense of the Linhof, but even the Fuji was very expensive. Before going on this trip, I contemplated selling the camera because it didn't seem to match my photographic vision. The photo I shot on Day 4 in Zion (now part of my portfolio) convinced me to keep the camera. :-)
Pardon my language but I would love to lick that camera.
I have an obsession with 6x17 cameras ever since I walked through the Camera Market in Beijing which offered me a Linhof to stare at for the longest time.

I would love to get my hands on that camera! Question though: How do you meter the light?
