I am ready to move from my Crown Graphic to a true view camera. I'm still learn ing and experimenting, so I don't want to make a big investment. I want a monor ail, and I have found and am considering three cameras: the Graphic View I, Gra phic View II, and a B&J Grover 4x5.

I would appreciate comments from anyone who uses any of these cameras. I would particularly be interested in comparisons between the View I and View II. I bel ieve I am aware of their different features, but I would like to hear about the differences in practical use.
