Well now,
I still haven´t decided which 8x10 I will get... Anyway, all but two cameras I have eliminated from my list, as there are just two cameras that have the rear standard shift possibilities I want (for making 10x16s via stitching): The Lotus and the (wood) Canham.
Now of course the Canham looks better.
On the other hand, Frau Ströbele of Lotus was charming to the extreme when we had a phone conversation today.
On the other hand, the Lotus is more expensive.
On the other hand, that´s not the basis on which I want to decide - sub auspicie aeternitatis, what`s 1700 Euros -
On the other hand, it would be an act of narrowminded chauvinism if I, as an Austrian, bought an Austrian camera.
On the other hand, if it needs a quick CLA, I wouldn`t want to have to send it round the globe for that.
On the other hand, The Big Mutmansky says the 7X17 Canham is better than the Lotus
On the other hand, TBM might be a chauvinist
On the other hand, I don`t think so
On the other hand, everybody keeps posting that things fall off their Canhams
On the other hand, it looks a lot better
to be continued ad infinitum ad nauseam --- so PLEASE all You who have the experience I lack, give me advice!
Thanks,
Michael
