    I've bought several 4x5 press and view cameras on ebay for less than your price range. We should study the type of camera we intend to buy online to best interpret the ads. There are several reliable stores in the USA. Cameras may be a bit more expensive there, but the service can be better. If you are new to large format, consider the necessary lenses and accessories.

    If buying, you could get my 1952 Speed Graphic, 127mm Ektar lens & change from $500.
    or............
    My virtually unused Zone VI camera and a little change from $700.

    That is exactly how I came to own my first two 4x5 cameras.

    A calumet monorail can be had for easily under $500, and have plenty of movement (in a tilt/rise/etc. way). Either hope for a lensboard and use what you got or look for one as a package. It will be nowhere as portable as the speed though.

    Used Sinar P or the lighter F2 if you want a monorail.

    All ready mentioned used Crown or Speed Graphic press cameras.

    Used Tachihara or possibly Shen Hao.

    That's used Tachihara or possibly Shen Hao wooden field cameras.

    Used Toyo 45A metal folding field camera.

    I've got a Sinar F I'll part with for $375 shipped to your doorstep. Send me a PM/email if interested.
    I think there was a CC-402 in the FS ads for less than that.
