I'm an amateur and I started with a used Arca Swiss 6x9 F-line compact monorail camera. Some day I'll upgrade to the 9x12-4"x5" International back + tapered bellows, something close to the so-called 'view-field' 6x9-4"x5" configuration. So following this route (thanks to this forum) I'll hopefully escape from the "trap" of purchasing a 4"x5" wooden field camera as a beginner's camera ;-)
