May I present to you the eBay price list:
If you're a skilled craftsman, you can make your own for about 100 bucks. Search "build your own view camera" on amazon.
You can pick up a view camera from the 1950's or 60's (not a linhof, but some obscure brand) for about 50 bucks, but you'll have to pay some money to fix light leaks, etc.
Your best bet is to a) pick up a used 4x5, they seem to go for around 150-300 dollars.
You'll still need a lensboard (20 bucks), very sturdy tripod (100 bucks), film holders (10-40 bucks a piece, holds one or two exposures, you'll want two or three), light meter (view cameras don't have one, 200 bucks), film (25 bucks a box).
Oh, and a lens, which used will still cost you 300-800 bucks.
Not a cheap hobby.
also, a changing bag (to put film in holders, 20 bux) and a case/bag (for to keep your investment in working order 50-200)
plus this does not cover developing, will you do your own or ship it out?
