purchasing a 4x5 field camera need info

[xkaes]

The spreadsheet is not complete information. There are some 4x5 wood field cameras not listed, and plenty of specifics not filled in -- i.e., difficult to determine.

But it is a good starting point.

Hi,

Yes, I have only seen DX as a model name for Wista field cameras.

There are many other models and brand names.

An advantage of the 'field cameras' over the 'view cameras' is that
they are quite portable and weight less.

Kind regards!

That would give an SSL error, not a not found error. This indicates a bad DNS server most likely.

I broke into LF back in the late 1980s with a beater Graflex and other stuff needed on a frayed shoestring budget. I took the photographs I could with that gear and learned what it could do and what it couldn't. This informed me when looking for a more capable camera. That camera was a B&J 5x7 with a 4x5 reducing back. One advantage was the long bellows draw for a 4x5, and I did some extreme close-up imaging that taught me things about depth of field sand exposure correction for bellows extension. Drawbacks were size, weight and fiddly controls. And it looked clunky; so it was a chevy, not a Porche.

I have had other cameras. My shooting gear now is the Zone VI mentioned above and a Kodak 2D in 8x10.

The point of this historical ramble is that your first camera will likely not be your last. Your shooting kit will grow as you grow in LF photography. Same goes for tripods, camera bags and everything else.

Best wishes anfd "Good Shooting"!
