I'm in the process of putting together a 4x5 system, and not too long
ago I got a Shen-Hao PTB 45 through Badger Graphic. I haven't
accumulated everything necessary to take and develop pictures yet, but
the camera seems quite nice. Very light and the movements are
reasonably easy to do. Of course, this is just through playing around
so far, but I'm looking forward to putting some film through it. I
looked at the panoramic cameras, but as it's less than half the price
I figured I'd start with 4x5 and at some point I could try a 6x12 or
6x17 back on it.
