Hi-
I want to get back into 4x5 photography but am on severe budget restraints. I h ave used the crown graphic in the past and disliked the lack of rear movements. I am considering buying a used graphic view II off of ebay, adding a couple len ses and making do with that. Specifically I am interested in a 90mm and a 210mm -- I own a 135mm and a roll film back so I want a view camera with the graflok back (aint it stupid? -- I have a lens, film holders, rollfilm holder --- but no camera!). Is the graphic view okay with the wide angle? I guess I would need a recessed lens board with it.
I want to use this equipment to shoot outdoors -- hiking and carrying will be in volved, but I am in good shape and young enough so I don't worry so much about w eight.
A lot of people in these online forums complain about ebay but the pric es look much better than www.mpex.com or www.keh.com or similar places -- if the seller is reasonably honest in his description isn't ebay a good place to buy?
