What it is
{"overview":"The De Vere Monorail is a large-format view camera built around a rail-based architecture, with the front and rear standards sliding along a single rail to allow bellows movements for focus, perspective and plane-of-focus control.

Questions
Is the De Vere Monorail a good buy at this price?
At current prices it is one of the cheaper routes into large-format shooting, but the value depends heavily on bellows condition and whether compatible lens boards and film holders are included.
