This is where I'll pop in and say I got a Speed Graphic with a 135/4.7 press lens and a 111/8 WA Dagor, four film holders, for $60 (or was it $75?). Deals happen, especially if you look. I've since added only some more holders, an additional lens, and a cheap meter and I'm still well under $500 total. Unfortuantly, it sold me on quality..and its not the most portable, which is how I ended up spending much more on a used 645 kit, because big negatives will absolutely spoil you. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
