    I haven't been there much lately as I am a bit out of photography at present. What a pity to loose this forum. First thing I thought was, what a great loss it is to lose Peter Kellers legacy and all...

    Re: Fold chamonix with lens inside?

    I think this will be technically impossible, no matter what size the lens is. Folded, the front is lying flat on the base board without any space between.

    What about a Shen Hao PTB 54 should be about 600€ including VAT. For 150€ and a little patience it should be possible to get an older 150mm in good condition.
