It is simply difficult to use in view camera terms. You can buy a "new" Calumet Cadet view camera for $395. A monorail with all of the swings, tilts, shifts, bellows options, lens board options, etc. Calumet has a special going on right now. Cadet, 150mm Caltar lens, lensboard, two holders, focusing cloth, carrying case, for $699. Hellova deal. 800-calumet or www.calumetphoto.com Jim
