My Copal 0 lens board arrived today. Now I have a complete LF setup.

Wista Field
Nikkor-W 150
ONE light tight and functional film back (the other needs repair) - this could pose a problem

Now I just need some film and the learning begins.

It's never complete . . . . .

Have fun, Wista's are great cameras to use, and you'll be amazed how many people will stop & talk to you when you use it, just remember when they ask is it old, say it's remarkable what the Japanese make now

Ian is right. Wista is a great camera to use and it does get a lot of attention and the "it must be really old" comment. I love using mine. Enjoy!

A roll film back is very useful, it means you can switch to 120 film when you're running out of film particularly when out shooting all day.. There's a Wista version that has a plate so it can sit under the focus screen if the camera doesn't have the Graflock type back.

Welcome to the opium den.

As someone said, it is never complete.

Pretty soon now you'll decide that 4x5 is not big enough, and that's when you find you can't get off the train.
