Hey, I am looking to make the step up and buy my own 5x4 camera.
I was just wondering if anyone has anything they would consider selling, looking for a more basic model and dont mind wood.

If you're not in a hurry there's always a good chance that something with pop up here in the coming weeks. If you are in a hurry then try some of the UK dealers such as
http://www.ffordes.com (have just had a look and there's plenty of studio camera's but few field camera's). There also Robert White in Dorset and Teamwork in London.
Welcome to the forum BTW... why don't you post a little bit more about yourself in the Introductions?
Also had a quick look on your website and you have some very nice images... particularly like your Horizons and Forest series

Hi Alex
welcome on board
I do not have a spare 5x4 but I do have a spare rugged wood Kodak half plate which would be a pretty good user starter, if you don't mind the slightly larger format - if interested, send me a pm
regards

Thanks for the replies everyone, Maik - I PM'd you back.
I also have a mamiya 7 for sale, would it be wrong to advertise that on this forum as it isn't large format?

As long as you are selling it to fund your LF habit, I guess we could allow it
