I pretty much did the same thing, with a Seneca Improved and a 12 inch (300mm) Commercial Ektar in a shutter. It is a nice combination, and pretty light to carry too. I've been feeding it with Ilford 125 speed film. Camera $100 plus new ground glass. Lens and shutter $300.

Well, I got a lens today in shutter on Ebay. Thanks for the tip David

I got a Turner-Reich convertible with a recently serviced shutter. The Camera is enroute. WooHoo! Ordered my Arista 400 film from Freestyle, now all I need to do is make a lensboard and get the lens mounted.
