    New kid in the block?

    Hi, all.
    Does anyone has already tried one of these: http://bhcamera.us/wilderness810.php ?
    It also has a small sister on 5x7' format.

    From the pictures, it looks like an all-metal version of the Phillips and Chamonix design.

    They've "borrowed" B&H's business name.

    Unusual bellows material.

    Camera made in China and ships from there.

    Could be a winner, if the price is right and the build quality is high.

    Nope, the owner's name is Jiang Bao-Heng, BH is just the abbreviation of his first name...

    "His first name is BH".

    That's a lucky coincidence.

    $2100, at the top of the page. Looks interesting, a little borrowed from several designs, could be a decent camera, anybody care to guess what lensboard it uses?

    Build quality appears functional but lacks the elegance of Phillips or Chamonix, at a reasonable price though. We'll see...
