I've been giving serious thought to trying 4x5 for the first time. I know nothing about it except from reading. I have about 40yrs of photo experience with 8mm through 6x9, though no view camera experience whatsoever. I found a local seller with a Sinar F, 2 lenses, and what appears to be everything needed to get going - except film. Does anyone reading know if this "kit" would be appropriate for a rank beginner to the world of 4x5? Jeff ________________________________ Planning your summer road trip?
