You're welcome Nik, seems that someone has to point out the obvious.

Cp goerz. Check out the other helpful replies to my question. Thanks for being a troll and giving unhelpful replies to a new member of the forum. You probably feel better now that you have gotten some attention

I'm in Fond du lac, just a hop, skip and a jump away. I'd be happy to go out photographing with you. I also have a bunch of 8x10 holders and some lenses you could use: a 240mm, 300mm, a 420mm and a 600mm. Let's not forget tripods. I have at least 8, including some big ones.

Your first question...'Is this a good deal? ', can't manage to do a completed search on ebay to see what a ballpark figure is? Seems simple enough to me. I crave YOUR attention Nik..please give me more, I can't LIVE without it...PLEEEEASE!!!!

As has been noted, the camera is the Traditional and it appears that the photographs which look as though there is some aluminum are simply the result of the lighting. Having had both the Traditional and the Tech Field I much preferred the Traditional and it appears to be a nice camera at a reasonable price. If the bellows are sound (my opinion) would be that you did well and you should have a nice tool for your venture into the format. Enjoy it and don't hesitate to post questions here on the forum - despite some appearances we really enjoy seeing new "converts" and there are a lot of helpful and knowledgeable folks here.

Thanks Joel
There seem to be unhelpful people like Cp Goerz on every forum. I will just ignore him from now on. I gained a lot of helpful information, from the other responders.

Thanks a lot

Thanks for proving my point!

Now I should really start ignoring you,

If this camera doesn't have rear axis tilt then it's a Traditional as others have said and you might want to discuss a reduction in the purchase price with Adorama on the ground that they misrepresented the camera in their listing. IIRC the Traditional sold for some hundreds of dollars less than the Tech Fields.
