Care to reflect on the inexpensive 4x5 films available thru Freestyle 
Photo?

By the way, thanks again everyone for all your great advice!  There 
  are several centuries of photographic experience lurking here...

  
 

  
I'm sure I'll have more questions, assuming I come home with that 
  package.

I just talked to the seller and told him I'd buy the system - assuming, 
    of course, it really is what's claimed.

    
Hmmm, now I need to think about developing 4x5...I can feel my wallet 
    getting thinner already ;)

Wow, I just got back from lunch and found all this great advice 
        already!  Thanks everyone!

        
 

        
The 2 lenses in the kit are: Fujinon 210mm f5.6 and a Nikkor 135mm 
        f5.6.  The package includes a ton of accessories too.  All for 
        less than $900.  This seems like a great deal when I look at ebay 
        prices for a similar setup.  The seller claims "mint" 
        condition.  I have not seen the equipment in person yet, 
        however.

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?

The words 
          "Beginner" and "Sinar" has never been used in the same paragraph 
until 
          this day and age with EBay.

Sinar is an impossible dream come 
          true camera for peoples whose commitment to sheet film is 
          unquestioned.

Thinking of it as a "I'm thinking of getting into 
          4x5 maybe I'll start out with a Sinar" is amazing.
I'd have called 
          you a liar if you told me some day a thing would happen that would 
get 
          people talking like that.
