Okay, I've owned a few 4x5's in my time, and currently am using a Canham DLC 4x5. While I like using the DLC, I find that in the colder months (I live in MN) that the camera is not always easy to use, and also, in colder weather I find I have to really tighten the knobs a lot to make the camera stay where I put it, or the camera may slip. I also do not need the really long bellows draw as I sold my 360mm lens because I never really used it. I find a 75, 90, 150, and 210 fits my style. That said, I am intrigued by the Chamonix, and from what I hear, they are really well made. I want something that will be flexible like the DLC, yet stay put in colder weather. I also like the idea of axis front tilt on the chamonix.
So if you had the choice, which camera would you stay with? Chamonix, or Canham DLC?
