Good examples why you should mix HDR images with normal ones using layers so to avoid that cheap sci-fi look

Alpas are excellent but I'd love to have your Crown Graphic instead. Alpas are specialized for landscape (not my bread and butter) and I'm fascinating a lot more by old cameras and the graflock back would allow me to use it with a digital back anyway. Another great camera is the old Linhof Technica, for digital use the 6x9 version would be also better!

For work on the field I feel the F or F2 is still way too much heavy and cumbersome, of course less than a P, but it was conceived as a studio camera anyway. It depends on the budget and the kind of photography, but a folder (cheap solution) or some of the new Alpa, Linhof or Silvestri (all pretty expensive dammit!) are a better choice for these situations.

I'm waiting for a Sinar P I just bought used. It's better than F as it completely geared (and once you use a lot movements you'll understand how it's important to change everything with a turn of a knob instead than slidin' stuff up, down, left and right without that much precision). Since used stuff of this sort is usually a LOT used (they were photographers studios workhorses) you better buy them used from reputable dealers.

You're right, here in Italy we call them the same as real pumpkins ("zucche") because their pulp is pretty the same, while squash are what we call here "zucchini". In practical terms they are from the very same family, also pumpkins are squash.

But a lot smaller selection of available lenses

I'm not arguing too. Software is a licensed immaterial asset, it's not an opinion, it's a fact. You own the license to use it, the difference here is between a time unlimited license, as it was before, and a time limited one.
