Thanks for the insight. Looks like developing and printing is the way to go, no easy way out to get started...

Bringing up an old post found through search.

I recently purchased a Polaroid Type #500 4x5 film back, I purchased this film to use Fujifilm FP-3000B Instant Black & White Print Film, ISO 3200,...

Also, when I find one likes this on eBay, with a "recessed" mount, does that make any difference besides losing a couple of inches of bellow space?...

Again, thanks for all the info. Will be ordering a bunch of books from the library, and if I have to will purchase some. Made a contact in the Boston area who is willing to help, if there is anyone...

Thanks so much for the informative answers and insight. So I am looking to work with a LF camera, producing prints and eventually tintypes. Probably concentrate on portraits, but would also like to...

Any suggestions?

Looking for a LF, and a lens. What do you buy?
