    Need one over Christmas to complete a project (and want to use all the film I bought!)

    Course I didnt get enough done while college was open - Anyone happen to have one lying around? I need to shoot some b&w and colour 5X4 before new year basically....

    Just a bit of a desperate plea is all :)

    Thanks but I need large format unfortunately, this is for a college brief so cant sway too much!

    And I dont have the funds to buy one now at all (and Id probably buy a medium format if I could just for a bit of ease!)

    Thanks for the responses, I know its a long shot - but wanted to see just in case someone had one in their shed or something!

    I have a Crown Graphic with a 127mm f/4.7 and a wide angle 4x5 pinhole around.

    Unfortunately, some d*ck robbed all 20 of my (loaded and half shot) darkslides, but you're welcome to the camera for a bit if you want it.

    Also have a 4x5 Polaroid back.

    If anyone hears of anyone selling more Type55, do let me know :)

    Hey everyone - am after some info re: 4x5 Cameras - firstly, does anyone have a kit to sell?

    Secondly, does any know of courses or tuition for the camera? Is there anyone out there who would be willing to accept me into their studio for a few hours to learn the camera and have some practice on their kit?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Tris.
