I have just picked up a Zone VI 4x5 camera, I found it on one of the Facebook group pages. The price was right and I thought I would take the leap into 4x5 film. I’ve dabbled in it before when I borrowed a Linhof 4x5 or in fact my Travel Wide camera. But this will be the first one I have owned.

It has Rodenstock Sironar-N 1:56 f =180 and 210 lenses. A Wista Lupe, several wooden lens holders, a bag for 5 film holders, a dark cloth for the back of the camera and what looks like a shade for the back glass…it also came with a 100 sheet box of expired ilford HP5 400 (2019)…and the huge ThinkTank bag.

I know need to read the instructions, rather than do what I normally do and jump straight in and use it and then make mistakes and have to go back to the instructions anyway.
