When I started school at Brooks Institute of Photography, there were two 
view cameras available (affordable) to us students. A Graphic View II like 
yours and a Calumet monorail like this:

I got a Graphic View II and my roommate got a Calumet. This was in 1959. He 
still has his Calumet but I sold my Graphic. I wish I still had it. I now 
have a Linhof Technikardan.

Anyway, the Graphic View II is a great camera!

PS... does everyone know that Fuji Neopan Acros 100 Quickloads are 
available in the US as an officially imported product? English on the box 
and instructions rather than Japanese. I just got a flyer from Calumet. Go 
to calumetphoto.com and search for Acros. I've been buying gray Acros 
Quickloads from Badger Graphics. The official product is cheaper.

Maybe I'm late saying this...
