I lived in Southern California for a little while, and never once learned to prefer the landscape there over female nudes.

Nathan -- Don't let the Newton discourage you (or your wife). My first view camera was a New-Vue bought in San Diego in the middle 1960s. They are beasts. However, if you are reasonably satisfied with using it as I was with mine, moving up to a better 4x5 will be a delight. If the bellows is light-tight and moderately flexible, the Newton will do almost everything one really needs. If the lens is about 160mm, it won't have enough coverage for much front movements. With a lens of greater coverage, the Newton will be more versatile than your Kodak.
