I'm considering a whole plate (6.5 x 8.5) camera. One of the reasons I am considering WP is weight and portability. I am working on a project that requires frequent travel to a remote location and I end up having to ship stuff ahead for the 8x10 and it is real pain not to mention worrying about loss or breakage. I have been taking a 5x7 on some trips but for some subjects I just feel the prints are too small.
I have cruised all the various forums and it seems there are three cameras out there (new anyway). The Chamonix, Ebony and Argentum. The only one of these camera makers whose products I have any experience with is Ebony which is too heavy anyway (see above). There's lots of stuff from Chamonix users but very little out there on the Argentum. So what I am wondering is:
- Are there any options I am missing other than used?
- Any Argentum users and/or purchasers out there, not just WP but in any format?
- Any advice regarding WP?
Yes, I have contacted Chamonix and Argentum.
Thanks!
Henry
