Hi,
I just bought Graphic View some 4 weeks ago from E-bay. Seller stated that what you see is what you buy, i.e., without adaptor. However, after auction settled down, I contacted seller was there any bonus?? Because the seller just told me that price for the Graphic View was just higher than what he expected. He found the adapter for me. Although without the rise/down fixing bar, the adapter is absolutely a bonus to me. I can find a pcs of screw, then weld a handle for the purpose.
BTW, as this Graphic View was from US Navy-- US Naval Hospital, Guam. The bellow is black instead of red-- pity. I just bought film holders from e-bay some 2 weeks ago. And now waiting for it.
I still have to buy lens + lens board + tripod. After that,i.e., insert my fingers to my ears pretending hear nothing from my wife, I should be able to buy film (B/W), and find a time to invite my wife to pack those gears to enjoy shooting.
Happy Shooting,
Sincerely,
Ming-Sung Lin
