Hello,

My name is Jeff Preston and I am from Central Ohio. Currently, I shoot medium format (Mamiya RB 67 Pro S, and Agfa Record 1 6x9 folder) but I'm looking for a nice user 4x5 view camera to scratch my LF itch. Bought a Graphic View 1 from a seller on the 'bay, but it is in poor condition so it's going back. Anyway, I'm excited to be on the forum and can't wait to learn the LF ropes from you fine folks!

You can check out my blog at www.fineartphotosbyjpreston.com if you'd like.

Jeff

Nice Graphic View II's are cheap and may last a lifetime.

Thanks! My daughter will be a Junior at OU this Fall. We spend a lot of time in Athens as a result. Maybe we could meet up some time when I'm in town?

The Graphic View 1 I bought from a guy on the big auction site was a real piece of junk. Totally unusable in it's current condition so I returned it. Fortunately, a fine gentleman named John Koehrer over at apug.org had a super clean B&J Orbit that he practically gave to me. Plan on shooting with it today for the first time! Wish me luck!
