If it's the round rail, the caps screw on.
I had a Tech III and used a 65mm Super Angulon on a recessed board. You have to tuck the front standard into the body cavity, as if you were going to fold the camera up, drop the bed and then you can...
I had the Shen-Hao for a while. I was quite impressed with it, especially considering the cost. I used a 75mm lens on it without a bag bellows. It will handle your 210 lens with ease. It will take a...
I guess I was dreaming a bit differently. I was thinking of the Arca F model with metric and orbix movements and the Ebony SV45U2 along with the Layton. That would put them all in the low $4000...
Sometimes I'm almost glad that I don't have the kind of money entailed to consider these options, not that I haven't considered them anyway. If I were to consolidate my 4 4X5's and the 8X10 into one...
I own and use a Wisner Pocket Expedition. I also have a Canham JMC 8X10. I like the wide range of lenses that the Wisner can handle, but i don't think that it has any advantage over the 4X5 Canham....
I've always had such a bad clogging problem with my 1280, and waste so much ink in head cleanings, that I would feel real fortunate to get 12 prints from a set of inks. Unfortunatly, thats been the...
Although I am using a Color Kardan (the front and back are essentially a Technika V on a rail), the movements are the same. I'm an A.

If I put...
Taking classes at the Salt Lake Arts Center will get you into their darkroom. Probably wouldn't cost much more that renting time if anything else were available, which I don't know that there is.

I think that the Bi-Kardan is by far the best camera on your list. It is extremely well built, reasonably light weight for a rail camera, and the best finished and smoothest camera that I have used....
Although I have never seen a generic board, my solution was to purchase a board which converts the Kardan to use the Technika style boards. These are more readily available used and are also...
Do not go to the capital building. It is closed for several years undergoing renovation. You can not get in.
Any of the other suggestions should work though. You should be able to find something...
