Ended up with my first ever LF camera last night, Linhof Kardan Color 45s with Super Angulon 90/5.6 and Sironar 150/5.6.
The lenses needed a clean, can really recommend
http://www.ror.net/ but turned out to have perfect glass and the shutter speeds sounds accurate.
The camera itself has seen better days and certainly need a new bellow and some tlc, but I can live with that - payed £110 for the lot, inc. pola back and 5x film holders.
The gent happened to have a nice Rolleiflex 3.5b "mx-evs" and a mint pola 190 kit as well that he threw in for and extra £60. Needless to say I walked away with a big grin on my face
Now, to my point for this posting, not knowing anything about LF I need to gather knowledge. I know I could have googled it, but my trust in filmwasters knowledge is far greater. Could anyone advice me of where and what to read to gather the basic knowledge I need to get going?
Where do I buy a new a bellow and are bellows pretty much standard stuff, mainly differing in length, depending on what lenses one wants to use?
Many thanks!
