Opinions on Wehman

I have an older style Wehman and love it, wouldn't have anything else. Great support also. Can you rent in the meantime?

martin,

I'm curious why you chose the Canham over the Wehman? The Canham is my second choice, and is very tempting. For some reason though, the Wehman is more appealing to me.

Dear Matt
Frankly it just looks better. I am not a woodencamera guy.
Actually the JMC has a little bit more extension (4") and I am doing a lot of macro (still struggling with
extension compensation...)
The fact that it was in stock was also important to me..

Even as a happy Wehman owner, I have to agree with Martin: the Canham is quite beautiful, and the Wehman looks like some sort of kludge job thrown together by a guy out in the field, to suit his needs. And the C is longer. But I opted for bomb-proofness and rigidity. And price. Even though shorter, the W is long enough for my _next_ lens, yet to be bought.
