Welcome to the forum. Once you make the plunge you will realize that it's not that difficult at all. I find 8x10 to be more enjoyable than 4x5. You can find a decent used 8x10 on the market with one lens and a couple film holders and you'll be ready for action.

Best of luck to you.

Glad to have you join. I'm in NW Houston, using 8x10 and 4x5.

i am also a houston guy.


someone recently had a wista rittreck on ebay for a reasonable price. this is a 5x7 camera but the sale included an 8x10 back. i think it was priced around 700 bucks. i just went back and looked. the auction either sold or expired but that is a very reasonable price for a camera that size. also, this sort of system has a lot of flexibility.
