4x5 film camera *WANTED*
hi guys,
Its been a while. I hope everyone is doing good. RIGHT. Ive sourced a 6x12 film holder based in london. I am now looking for a 4x5 camera. The 6x12 film holder uses a graflok back system so would be looking for a camera with this. Im a beginner in 4X5 i shoot a rz67. Looking for a good deal not house deposit equivalent haha. I will be using the camera mostly for 6x12. Lenses will most likely start with a 90mm and a standard lens. If anyone is interested in selling do contact me. I live in south east london but i can travel. kind regards soulstar |

I don't have one for sale but it could be helpful to know whether your after the light, portability of a field camera or the robustness and freedom of movement of a monorail?
Whatever your decision, a lot should be as much determined by what you're going to photograph as by your budget.

Ffordes have a god selection, and if you can live with a monorail they have a couple of cameras at under £200.
https://www.ffordes.com/c/486/large-...&f=srt:3&x=srt West Yorkshire cameras often have 5x4, but currently just one monorail in stock. Second Hand Darkroom seem to be closed to move premises, but might be receptive to a telephone enquiry? Folding field cameras are often more portable, but prices start higher. As Marty says, what kind of work do you plan to use it for? |

For someone starting off in LF and portability is an issue, the intrepid camera's are a steal. Another option might be an MPP for greater robustness.

Not half Marty- I just checked.
Even an 8x10 is less than I paid for a 5x4 Shen Hao 10 years ago. Sorry I looked now!! |

Yes they are great value, I’m looking to get a 4x5 later in the year and am seriously considering the intrepid camera

Hi
Are looking for a camera for use on a tripod, focusing and composing on the ground glass, or do you want a handheld camera with a viewfinder? |

hey sorry for late response guys got busy. Im looking to use 4x5 for staged shoots, portraits and some cityscapes. I considered the intrepid but from people i know who have used it they suggest i just go for a something else.
Yesterday i went to shoot my grandfather with my tripod,RZ67 with prism, three lenses, a extra back and accessories. the bag was so heavy. I am a fit person but it really made me realise for 4x5 weight will have to be a factor as i would love to bring more than one camera. movements are important as i would love to have more control on depth of field and perspective. Also a monorail wouldn't be ideal i feel Last edited by soulstar; 10th March 2021 at 01:23 PM. Reason: adding |
