My 4x5 is a Crown Graphic from 1964. One of the later ones.
I'm always impressed with the handling of that camera. I used to
"play" with my father's Crown Graphic (mid-50's) a lot so
relearning how to use this one didn't take too long. This is
probably the only 4x5 (other than the Speed Graphic) that
balances movements with point-and-shoot functionality.
The guy I bought the Crown from also has several of the Century
Graphics. Nice! But the 4x5 was a better choice for me since I
was looking at investing in a full-blown high-end 4x5 outfit and
this was a $200 experiment.
Speaking of such, I've got a bunch of negs to process yet.
