I've already got a Crown Graphic 4x5 but I'm looking to buy either a monorail or a field camera, for use both in the studio and occasionally for landscapes. The Crown is nice but not flexible enough.
So this newbie is thinking about buying a Linhof Color that I came across recently. It's relatively cheap (by local standards, but not compared to other places). It looks the same as the one at this URL: http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Linhof_Color_4x5 and it comes with a couple of lenses. The condition looks good, and the bellows are in very good condition.
Most of my photography is still in medium format so I've still got much to learn with LF. Would this camera be a good choice, or would I do better to buy something better and more modern such as Sinar F2? (F2's seem to be more common here, although more expensive.) And if I decide to buy a better quality wide angle lens for the Color, what should I look for?
Thanks!
