Yeah, that was one thing that shocked me. Why would I want to spend several thousand dollars on a carbon fiber and titanium camera that weighs twice as much as a wooden camera?
My understanding from a friend who got to use one for a while was that it was quite a bit more rigid than a wood field camera. Not enough to make me, or anyone I knew, buy one, but that was the idea; wood field camera portability and the rigidity of a studio monorail. That and it just looked so cool. The fit and finish on it were pretty nice. The example I saw was silky smooth, especially compared to the Toyo CF I own.
Norman McGrath included the Carbon Infinity on his list of cameras when choosing equipment for architectural photography in his book Photographing Buildings Inside and Out. He mentioned the camera had a lot of potential.

You've got to love that translation:
with a EOS 1 DS a pulling of 60 * 90 cm implies to print with 115 dpi, which is not at all sufficient to obtain "crusty" pullings.
Personally, I like my pullings as crusty as I can get them.
This looks like the perfect camera for a gearhead.

Hello,
Just for those interested,
Christoph Greiner in Germany has a Carbon Infinity for sale for 2.725 Euros including the leather carrying case.
Best regards from France

It sounds like an interesting camera, but not interesting enough for me to give up the Wisner. The one camera I've seen that really looks attractive in every way is the Layton. I've tried John Layton's camera in prototype form, and it's amazing. He designed the camera from a working photographer's point of view, and has addressed just about every complaint I can think of. I hope they're in production soon.

Yeah, that is a pretty neat camera. I specifically like the way the focus control has been designed. I don't know if I will be spending $4000 anytime soon though.
