I am new to 4x5. I have had great success w/ my 4x5 view cam. but that sucker is heavy and the rail is about 2 feet! I was looking at these old press cameras but they always have the original lens. I was concerned that there might be so me unknown (to me) reason. would I be able to use modern lenses on a speed grap hic? I assume there could be no real concern but I want to make sure before I a ctually purchase one. ALSO, why does the price on these cameras seem to vary so much. some sell for $ 85 and others $300? and I don't see that much of a difference, really I don't m ind the exterior scuffs. Please don't tell me it is because of somebody who jus t wants the flash for a light sabre!
thanks,
paul schuster
