A local-ish camera shop had a Graflex Century Graphic with the Kodak Ektar 101mm f/4.5, some 2x3 holders, a 6x6 roll back, and a case. Decided to pick it up. Not sure if I've made a huge mistake but I'm excited about it as a cheap, small large format style camera.

e: i guess i should say "view camera" but

Can someone point me to a resource/explain to me how view camera/shutter/lens compatibility works?

Here's what I think I have: camera/shutter compatibility is based on basically whether or not a lens board exists/can be made that fits the camera and a certain type of shutter

Lens/camera compatibility is basically just image circle and bellows length

Lens/shutter compatibility is??? Sometimes it seems like these things come together but sometimes it seems like they're totally separate?

I really want to take the century graphic out but i want to test it out with a roll of 120 before I bother ordering sheet film and the back it came with famously sucks, so i have to wait several more days for the good 6x9 back i ordered to get here :argh:

Lab scan, but I took out the new Century Graphic this past weekend with a 6x9 back and got one photo I liked. One I left the lens on T when I put in the film back and took out the dark slide, one I left the dark slide in, and the rest were just meh

Well, after a series of bad decisions and really enjoying the medium format view camera, I now have a Chamonix 45N-2 on its way to me. My wife is going to kill me lol
