Where to purchase a first LF camera?

[monkeytumble]

Been reading and reading about LF, figured out what I want, and I'm now ready to purchase my first LF camera. I don't live in or that near to a major metro area with great camera stores. So, before I start looking for something on eBay, does anyone have any suggestions where to consider purchasing a Sinar F2?

Thanks,

Badger Graphics took my money and gave me a very nice camera---shipping was fast, item were very well packed. Oh yea good pricing. I went with a new Chen-Hao (Shez-A-Hoe) I looked at used on eBay and the usual suspects. The used field cameras like a Tacharhara(sp?) were going for 90-95% of a new one!!! So I went new that way I could put my own scratches in them.

I got a great deal on Zone VI 4x5 camera on Ebay. Just keep looking. There are many excellent cameras available at any one time. I wouldn't narrow your selection to a Sinar at this point. It might limit your buying opportunities and may cause you to miss another great camera at a bargain price.

I'll second Badger Graphics, I got a lovely ebony from them, quickly and reasonably

Midwest Photo (mpex.com), Badger Graphics, KEH Photo out of Atlanta, Calumet (a little higher in price, perhaps.) All are reputable sellers. I have no idea who carries them if you're looking for new, though. Good luck!
