    linhof 3D levelling head II

    when did these come out? it's like an updated version of the 3-way levelling head with a built-in quickfix i or arca-swiss connector. for the latter, they only have a screw clamp at the moment, but...
  2. Re: Dream cameras we want, but cannot have, let's see them!

    ok, no plastic phillips. any new developments in composite wood?
  3. Re: Dream cameras we want, but cannot have, let's see them!

    would plastic be heavier? i figured the boards could be hollowed out, leaving some ribs for structural support.

    a phillips compact ii in whole plate format made out of titanium and ABS plastic. one day, i'll learn how to make it myself!

    i think it's the lack of support struts that allows the back to flex more on the mqc57 (and dlc45). the swing/shift mechanism itself is really solid.
