I'm a recent convert to Large Format, picking up a rather beat-up and heavily modified Speed Graphic. But the bellows are light tight, and it came with a 203mm f/7.7 Ektar Lens, and I picked up a S-K 90mm f/6.8 Angulon for wide angle work. And I'm loving it! Looking forward to doing more work this summer with both b&w and colour films!
Welcome to the forum! Yep, as long as the bellows are good and the shutter works, you're good to go. Have you tried any E-6 (slide) film? It's absolutely fabulous to work with it. Last week I showed some to my coworkers, and I brought a magnifier and a 22x loupe. Yep, they understand why I shoot LF!

I haven't tried slide yet...but I do have a box of Provia 100F for the spring/summer!
