Medium Format Folding Cameras

Obzervr · 12th April 2006

I am thinking of trying out a medium format folding camera. Has anyone any experience using it, esp the 6X9 or 6X12 ones? What should I look out for when buying one?

Thanks in Advance

u mean those with cloth/canvas bellows? think i saw them on yahoo auctions b4...

anyway, for wats its worth, i read up the medium format website posted in the sticky. seems dat the main thing to check is dat whether there are any lobangs in the bellows - not a easy thing to fix, so they say.

Yup, the one with the bellows and suppose to fold up flat. I was thinking of getting one over ebay, maybe a russian or kodak as these brands looks quite reasonable for starters.
