I found a Kardan-color 8x10 thta looks like a beautiful camera but it also looks very heavy...Does anyone know what one of the cameras weighs? Are they a nice as they look?

Talk to Randy Moe. He has a bunch of them. They are very heavy but wonderful cameras. Finding parts can be a challenge.

Thanks Peter.

Tin Can
I like mine a lot. It is beautifully and precisely made. Use it in the studio, you will not be taking it out in the field. I can take it off the tripod collapsed in one piece, but with great care as it would be easy to drop-- which would probably be the death of it. Check out the lensboard situation, as that can get expensive. I think the easiest thing to do is get the reducer to the 5x7 Technika boards which are somewhat available (I have an adapter from that to a regular [4x5] Technika board).
Thanks for the info!!!
