    Another new production Czech 8X10 field camera???

    After the ITO camera i came across this today.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/8x10-Cassiop...item4d2344ee0f

    Looks cool enough, and they also seem to make an 11X14 and 12X20...

    Looks like a part Deardorff part zone VI design mix...

    (Disclaimer - i have nothing to do with the sale or making of this camera)

    Yes, it is a photographer and camera maker from Prague. I have been in contact with him regarding an ULF project. And I have spoken with his happy customers - the quality is very high. He makes his own design - picking up things from other cameras that work well (as per his opinion - just as many other makers).
    Website of sorts, as well as flickr thing.

    His prices seem strange to me though.. an 11x14 is only 200 less than a 14x17? and the 8x10 is nearly $1200 cheaper than 11x14? Is there something I'm missing? I asked him about 7x17" and he said he could easily make the back and bellows and adapt it to use the front half from the 8x10 camera, then he sent me the price and it was actually MORE expensive than the 14x17.... Crazy.. Cameras look nice though

    Actually, it seems to be logical. Unlike your special order 7x17 the 14x17 is regular production. Hence the money logic.
