So I've bought the camera, lens, tripod and even the enlarger - now for the enla rging lens:

1. How cheaply can I expect to get by on for a used enalarging lens for 4x5? 2. If a lens is clear (no scratches, fungus, finger prints etc) will the results be close to a $800 new lens or will I really be loosing out on something? (and what would that be?) 3. At what point do I loose the benefits of LF by going cheap on an elarging len s? 4. 135mm is the shortest lens I can reasonalby use, correct?

Thanks Beginner Bill

P.S. I just had one of my first LF experiences last Saturday. The morning was o vercast but there was a ton of frost on the trees (some of the frost spears were and inch long!) and a forcast of sun. I drove to a wooded area setup and waite d in knee deep snow for 1.5 hours for the light to be right. When the sun final y broke through the clouds it lit up the area increadibly. I then spent a good 2 hours getting as many shots as I could before the sun melted the frost - What a Blast!!! I'm hooked.
