    Re: new Speedotron equipment

    Thanks for the input! I was shocked to discover that Speedotron was still in existence so I'd like to find out as much as I can about the "new" Speedotron gear and service.

  9. Re: What, if any, are the drawbacks to owning a Kodak View Master 8x10?

    No downsides for me. But others may dislike the fast focusing, the robust build, the clamshell design, and the 12 lb. weight. I use everything from 180mm to 420mm no problems. Moved from a Deardorff...
  10. Re: I would like some advice on what type of camera I should buy for a long photo tri

    Haha! No, the camera is fully supported by a proper tripod. What I was referring to is the front focusing assembly. That has a 1/4” tripod hole that you could mount a monopod that would give the...
  11. Re: I would like some advice on what type of camera I should buy for a long photo tri

    Andy,

    I think the weight of the two cameras is about the same ~12lbs. I'm not a backpacker so don't worry too much about weight but I do like stability.

    Speaking of stability, the KMV has a...
  12. Re: I would like some advice on what type of camera I should buy for a long photo tri

    I agree with Mark. The Kodak Master 8x10 is a rugged metal 8x10 camera that is quick to set up and offers fast focusing via the sliding bed. Great for photographing people (which is why I traded the...

    Arthur, I was told they no longer carry the 7x17 size but, if they do have them in 500 count, I'd be interested in splitting an order. Been using the 7x17 quite a bit lately!
