I have a T.O. Warfield field camera, and since this is my first field or LF camera, for that matter, I'm not too familiar with how the camera is supposed to 'feel' when it's being used.
My camera is in good shape, the brass is dulled, but all of the wood parts are in very good shape: no cracks, checks, loose joints, etc. All of the metal parts move smoothly, but there is some play in the various joints, which I think is to be expected. Will this minor looseness have any effect on my using it? I did own a Bender 4X5 years ago, and it seemed to be kind of loose, too. I can lock down the movements without forcing anything. In your opinion, is this camera good to go?
TIA!
With best regards,
Steve Mack
