Hello all, I'm ready to step up from 4x5 to 8x10, primary use will be for landscapes while backpacking. The things I'm looking for are:
a wooden folder
bellows in good condition
intact ground glass
front tilt/swing
I'm thinking a Gundlach, Century Universal, B&J Commercial View or something similar would be a good choice but I don't have my mind set on any specific brand or model. I don't mind doing a little refurbishing and even stripping paint and finishing wood but I want something that is ready to be used when I get it. I would like to stay under $500 but would be willing to go $600-$700 for the right deal.
Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to doing business with one of you.
