Tyler Maybe you are talking about wooden 8x20 field cameras from Wisner or something. Probably on Ebay, sales units are up, in monorails, yes, because you can get all that stuff so cheap. Sinar 4x5 F's that sold for $1,200 used have dropped to 1/3 that amount. I have purchased long enlarger lenses for $20-40 (yes, I still have a Sinar). I used to have Red Dot Artars from 4"-30", with the 16.5, 19, and 24" being the most utilized (along with the SUPERB and rare Blue Dot 14" Trigor). Yes those were amazing, but overkill resolution for any application in my town. I still have lots of Tmax 100 in the freezer....nostaliga????
