After trying some lightweight 8x10 options I realized that I really prefer a heavier, metal camera, a studio monorail really. I like using a heavy tripod and beefy camera that doesn't move when I insert a holder -- something that will take my hamfisted brute force technique without shuddering... Besides I'm not backpacking the damn thing - I don't even expect to fly with it. So I've been patiently waiting for a nice 8x10 Sinar to come along...
But just for the heck of it, I started looking at Cambos and did a completed auction search... and most of the Cambo 8x10s have sold in the low $300 range!
Now I know the Sinars are excellent, but what is so shabby about a geared movement, 15-year old Cambo Legend for ~$500 or a friction model for $315?
When Sinars are pretty much a grand no matter what.
