No 4x5 system, I would reckon (and there are very many who share that view), can come to be as easy as using the Sinar! With all genered movements, 2-point focus method, et al. Brilliant way to get started with large format photography. Even though one can rig up a system to carry it around, it is predominantly an indoor/studio camera.
The Sinar X has every feature of the Sinar P2, just lighter and slightly stripped down on what might be never used by somebody (there is enough material on this at the LargeFormatPhotography forum / on the net).
I am attaching the photos that were used by the previous seller - as there is no change in the condition.
Some of the goodies I added are:
1. Kata BP502 bag that fits the camera well, 3 lenses and most accessories you most need, comes with a trolley/wheels assembly to carry around easily.
2. The much famous Sinar Pan/Tilt.
3. Custom Freshnel - I got the freshnel off ebay and pasted it on a sinar frame purchased separately. A fresnel makes a world of difference to ground glass viewing!
I can include 4x5 film holders (have too many of them) if you want.

Price: How about
1250$ net to me (shipping from Bergen, Norway)
PS1: The Sinar Pan Tilt by itself goes for ~$250, and the BP-502 ~$300 typically!
PS2: At this point of time, I am thinking of selling this as a kit.
