Digital BW, The Print

Selling to someone online always has some element of the unknown. But
E-Bay and it's subsidiary, PayPay, are about as trustworthy as you can
get. They are just too big and too successful to have any interest in
ripping you or me off for what little we have. All the risk is in the
seller's description of condition, but that was always the case.

But if you have a lower cost 4x5 field camera and/or lens, contact me
off list.
