Looking for large format lenses in the city

[f/Alex]

As post states, I'm in the area of NYC, and I'm looking for some longer large format lenses. Most of the used places I know either got a bad rep for overcharging or are B&H & Adorama, both of which don't really stock anything that'll cover 4x5.

I've bought something from them before but they're kinda pricy. It seems folks have a mixed experience with em, based entirely on the employee you interact with.

I don't see any LF lenses on their website. IMO i'm willing to pay a higher price from a local brick & mortar store, since i'm able to have the lens in my hand and can sort out....scratches. fungus, shutter condition.....even more so if we're talking about hard-to-find lenses. What particular longer lenses are you looking for?

I bought from Igor several times in the past, condition was always described accurately, shipped quickly, no complaints.
