Hello,

I am thinking of buying a camera that I *believe* to be a Sinar "Norma". It is a 4x5 rail camera with an interchangable 8x10 back and bellows. It uses a seperate shutter that sits behind the front standard. Everything is in excellent condition.

The current owner, who bought the camera in the early 70's, calls it a Sinar "Normal" and feels sure that is the name. Is anyone familiar with this? I find plenty of info on the Norma (including this site), but nothing on a "Standard".

It seems like an ideal camera. Totally modular and appears to be quite sturdy and portable (for an 8x10 anyway). I've read the comments in the archives, but wonder if anyone can relate any experiences with the camera (positive or negative).

Thanks again!
