Researching Field Cameras

[Stoogley]

Hi

I'm thinking about getting a field camera.

Currently am using a Sinar F1, so I was wondering which ones would use the Sinar lens board.
Suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

I don't think any field cameras use a Sinar board. Easiest would be to buy or make a Sinar/Linhof board adapter and then mount all your lenses on Linhof-style boards.

[Kevin Crisp]

The Canham JMC does, if you want to go 8x10.

[Alan Gales]

The Chamonix 8x10 also uses Sinar boards but the 4x5's use Linhof style boards.

If you are shooting 4x5 then do like Tim says and get a Sinar/Linhof adapter board. The smaller boards are nicer for fitting in you bag for out in the field too.

My Richard Ritter 8x10 uses my Sinar boards.

Tachihara 8x10 does as well.

[TXFZ1]

Shen-Hao 8x10 does as well.

There are a lot of field cameras available. You could narrow the field by establishing what is most important to you: weight, use of wide-angle lenses - bag bellows (say for architectural work), compactness, ergonomic qualities on how the camera functions (you need to work with the camera for this).

Shen Hao 8x10 will take Sinar lens boards.
