I've discovered a 13x18cm (i.e. 5x7) camera, produced by Plaubel, labeled <it>Un iversal II</it> at a local dealer.
It's a (fully) metal monorail w/ base tilts; condition seems to be fine, price a ffordable (about $300). The problem: there are no accessories, and (according to the dealer) it has no i nternational back.
So my question is: Is anybody using such a device? Are accessories like lensboar ds, (reducing) backs etc. still available for this (as it seems rather old) syst em, so I could use it as a cheap entry to LF? Or is it essentially a dead machine, incompatible to the range of accessories av ailable nowadays?
