I just bought myself a "new" camera. It's new for me but is actually made in the 1920's. It is a Graflex 4X5 large format camera. The film is 4 inches by 5 inches in size and is a significant jump from most other types of film. It is without a doubt vastly superior to even the best digital sensors available. The photos above are of my camera, the items in front of the camera in the bottom photo are the film holders, each one holds 2 sheets of 4X5 film, I have 3 of them totaling 6 shots without reloading, and believe me with the cost of the film and processing but above all else the sheer quality of an image this film produces, that is more than what I need for a single session, the best part is the camera is relatively small and light in weight given the kind of camera that it is, so it makes it an easy camera to backpack with, which is perfect for my upcoming trips into the Eagles Nest Wilderness.
Looks like my photography is going to take a huge leap
