What kind of tripod socket does 4x5 Tachihara use? 1/4" or 3/8"? More generall y, do most modern view cameras come with one type or is LF not as uniform as the 35mm world in that respect? Thanks!

My new one has two 1/4" tripod sockets, spaced to balance the camera as needed. I saw on a web site where they are listed as having both sizes, but mine doesn't. I bought mine this summer, so it should be the current model. From my experience, the 1/4" size is by far the most common. I own three older 4x5 and an 8x10, and all have the 1/4" sockets.
Regards,
Mine also has two 1/4" sockets, but I believe that they each have adaptor threads in them. I think you can take out the adaptors to make them 3/8", though I haven't tried this yet.
