Anyway I want to give 4x5 a shot even though I'm clueless. I have a lot of patience and more than willing to learn. Landscape is my primary interest but I'm quite flexible. I have the option of buying 1953 Linhof Super Technika but haven't the foggiest what to look out for, other than the obvious, such as the bellows and lens condition. I was hoping that those in the know would suggest some relevant questions to ask the seller regarding his 4x5? It has a 135mm Schneider lens. Seller says it's fully functional and he has used it. The shutter is accurate according to him. The bellows was replaced (not sure when etc.). He has two 4x5 film holders and a Linhof tripod. Are accessories and/or replacement parts that I might need available for this particular model? Oh, and what would be a fair price?
Regards,
