That takes the E-6 total price down to $3.50 for load your own, and $5.25 for readyloads. Thanks, Jon! Wow — I can’t believe Calypso is only $1.30 per sheet of 4×5 for E-6.

After years of shooting with Leicas, the rangefinder on the Graphic is not so stellar. The Fotoman viewfinder is quite clear and bright and is a close match to the actual view on the ground glass for approximate framing. I am using this camera on a tripod. Christoph - Acros was previously unavailable at all in the U.S. in 4x5, and now apparently only available in Quickloads. Tri-X is a lot cheaper here, but I prefer shooting Acros. 2 Euros is about $2.75 in U.S. dollars. Jon - Sounds like you've got a good, econo setup. I'd like to check it out sometime!
