Hi everybody
I've been trying to read the mountain of information contained on this site, but it's a bit difficult to sift through
I'm very new to LF, and am looking for a camera that will accept a 617 back (like Canham's 5x7's). I've seen some threads indicating some people have 4x5s that will accept a 617, although the math doesn't seem to work out for me (as 17cm is almost 50% bigger than the 5 inch back).
That said, I also seem to be drawn toward 5x7 for the increased size, as I like to print very big.
So, what would you recommend? Just pick up a Canham 5x7 with a Canham 617 back? They're sparsely sold on ebay; in the last 2 months or so, there's only been 2 sold, one around $1600 and the other unknown, but under $1800. Are there cheaper/not too inferior solutions?
Thanks for any help
AJ
