To be honest, the price of used 4x5 cameras are pretty low. When our photolab shut down, we sold the Sinar F for just a several hundred bucks, and the Sinar P for just over a grand. The lenses were sold separately, and prices as to what they were.
And last time I looked (20 years ago) a sheet of 4x5 film was about a buck per exposure. So push the button, and spend a buck, for black and white. Color was even more. That is an expensive hobby.
We made up a camera for doing interior building photos. It had a 60 mm lens and a helical focus. The edges of the 4x5 were clipped, but it shot 110 degree view images and cropped out to a great 35 like format. So fantastic 12x18 prints.
