Hi,
I have had to send part of my Toyo 810M in for a minor repair, it will be away for a week.
They say idle hands are the devil's playground, so I am looking at the Canham as a companion to the Toyo.
I was hoping that others here might have some good information to share about another all-metal camera, the Canham JMC810.
I've seen a video with Fred Newman explaining the various knobs and functions, and it looks like a fiddly camera with small knobs; true?
Also, I like the max extension (over 800mm), but is the camera rigid and stable?
After years with the Toyo 810M, which is akin to... well, any camera on steroids, the JMC seems like it has all the goods as well, but in a lighter package.
How is the focusing? rough or buttery velvet?
Anything you can do to give me user experiences with this camera would be much appreciated until I get my Toyo back.
If no one answers, well, I may have to shoot medium format or possibly digital.
Thanks in advance.
