Are the 8x10 carrier frames identical on the Sinar P1 and P2?
Hey Sinar users!
I'm trying to find out if the 8x10 carrier frames are identical on the Sinar P and the P2 or do they have subtle differences? If they DO have some differences, are they still interchangeable between both camera systems?
Anyone have a definitive answer?

I may not be thinking clearly, as I haven't had coffee yet, but here goes. The Sinar P has a non-metering back and different sized bellows than those for the metering back.. The P2 has the metering back. I have a P2. I use an 8x10 non-metering-back (i.e. for a P) and the P 8x10 bellows with it with no problems. The back is more compact than the metering one, which I have no need for.

They are different as Peter stated and not interchangeable unless you change the bellows also, at least in my case. I have the P and the P2.Originally Posted by vssoutlet
The P back is indeed more compact and a bit lighter.
