I've seen a few of these in the past few weeks going for a reasonable price. Anyone ever shot with one?
 
No. I've seen one and that did not look as if I'd have preferred it over a 40yr old well-made camera, but the guilt probably was with the assembler, the brass bits did look quite well-made. These are contemporary British DIY kit cameras - and as with all things DIY there is a guy at the end of the chain who has a wonderful opportunity to mess them up. The more so as most things are built from kit at the very beginning of the learning curve...

What do you call reasonable price?

Join the Large Format Photography Forum. Wait 30 days. Look at the for sale listings there. Nice Shen Hao 4x5 firld camaeras come along all the time in the $400-$500 range. Add a nice lens for $100-$250. 4x5 film holders at $5/ea. and Bob's your uncle!
