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?
Jeff
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.
