Old press cameras are lots of fun.  And that's
a good price.  The MPP's are well regarded.

Did you get it with a rangefinder?  If you put
a 6x9 roll film back on the camera you lose the
ground glass for focusing.  Though you can swap
backs all the time for focusing.  At f22 you
can do all right with the scale on the camera
bed and a bit of practice judging distance.

I don't think you can buy a bad modern LF lens.
