Have used a Rajah 4x5. Friend of a friend was going to buy one wanted me to
give it complete checkout. I was told the camera had seen little use and was
about a year out from the dealer. Was also told the person wanted to sell
it because he was moving to medium format. I could not and would not
recommend you waste you money buying a Rajak camera. The camera I checked
out was starting to come apart, someone had already attempted a reglue, this
on a camera a year old. While it looked pretty good(the appearance) the
construction was just not right. Also, you will have problems with the back
after it seen a some use.

PS. just for info, I have been using a view camera for almost 40 years. I
currently own and use a 11x14, a couple 8x10, and a few 4x5's.
