    Indeed he does...

    What sank the Carbon Infinity production was the competition: The Gandolfi Variant could do almost all that the Carbon Infinity could to, at a fraction of both the price and the weight. Note that this was LOCAL competition, not the international marketplace.

    Having owned both, I can safely say that I haven't seen any other camera that could possibly compete in versatility. The CI is still a long way ahead of the Variant, but at the cost of weight and - well, cost.

    The only way you could find a more versatile camera is by going to a full studio monorail.

    As to the cost of it, I have seen both $6,000 and $6,500 given as the initial price, however I have not found anything that gives any figures regarding actual retail pricing of the camera when "new" that are definitive. I do not know whether those figures represent actual prices at which cameras were offered and sold or just "suggested" retail list. What the run of 60 cameras actually brought, at wholesale and new retail, isn't discussed anywhere I have found. The only prices I have seen admitted to were either deeply discounted or for used cameras and considerably less than $6,000.
    In German we call old cams KASTEN, Box and thats similar to chambre/room. We say: "I have it in the KASTEN!" Its shot, shot is done.
    Collegue had it beside Sinar. gave it up.
    I remember well maybe i will find a prospectus. was not into 4x5 at that time, visited photokina regularly.
