I am under the impress -- which I hope is true -- that digitizing from a
large format transparency is preferred, rather than digitizing from a 35
mm transparency.  Given that assumption:

1. Are large format cameras common? What type of photograph studio would own such a camera?

2. Are large format cameras movable? Could one be taken on location to photograph items?

3. What is the down-side of working with large format cameras?

I look forward to your replies.

Jill
