I was hoping to find a used one in the $700-$900 range but if they are out
there I haven't seen them yet.  I have no experience with any type of view
camera (unless my Polaroid Swinger counts).  What type of learning curve is
involved and how much of an additonal investment would be required to get
good pictures?   Also, is there much difference in film cost and processing?
It seems like once you started down one road (oly.),  it is hard to
change.....
Thanks,
