Chamonix is taking their next order for a September shipment of cameras on their E'Bay store if you are interested?? http://search.ebay.com/search/search...era&category0=
Prince has increased to $820 due to the falling dollar and a revised exchange rate.
This eBay guy is not officially connected to Chamonix camera (based upon previous comments and word from Hugo). Hugo Zhang is the one you want to contact if you are interested in Chamonix cameras. He has direct connection with the factory, unlike the eBay guy.
He'll surely confirm this.
(and I can personally recommend dealing with him, as probably other tens of people here (or is it hundreds already?))

Jiri,
Thanks for the clarification.
That ebay store is run by a local Chinese dealer in Beijing who is not authorized by the factory to sell Chamonix cameras overseas.
He saw the excitement about the 45N-1 cameras from this forum and wants to make a few bucks. I don't mind that much. But what bothers me is that in some cases he didn't even tell people that he was not Hugo and I found that out when forum members PMed me with great excitement that they had placed some orders with me at "my" ebay store.
BTW, I would like to boast here shamelessly that people do get better prices and services from me.
That's the truth--order from Hugo for the real deal. When I was asking about the Chamonix 8x10, Hugo was selling them with two included beautiful maple film holders and I noticed that the ebay store was selling the 8x10 for the same price *without* the holders.
Sooooo
What is the price from Hugo for the next run of 4X5 cameras?
Cheers!
What style of lensboards does the 4x5 use?
The 45N-1 uses Linhof Technika style boards.
Jeffrey,
I work up in Santa Barbara. If you'd like to see the camera let me know.

Jeffrey,
As you probably know, I have one too, if you need to see one. Sweet camera!
This thread belongs in Resources.
Thanks,
