Hello everyone,
I'm pretty much new to the forum, but I'm looking to hopefully find someone who can help me on this big decision
The title is pretty much self-explanatory, but what I'm trying to do is to decide between an Arca Swiss F-Line Metric and a Lotus View camera (both in 8x10'' format). I said it's a big decision because I had never planned to spend (or spent) so much money on anything; and neither thought I would ever do!
I am looking for a very rigid/stable camera (as well as one that it's a pleasure to operate ) that I can "easily" take with me to the field, since I will not be using it in a studio environment most of the time. The movements I would be using the most are tilts and swings (mainly front standard, but also the rear standard is important).
I would love to try both of these cameras as it's very difficult to decide without having even seen nor operated one before, but it doesn't seem that it will happen (I'm based in the UK by the way).
Has anyone on here had any experience with any of these two models? Any thoughts on them? Specially rigidity and easy of transport I suppose...
Thanks a lot!
