i am thinking of buying an 8x10 camera, and have stumbled upon a fatif 8x10. i am not sure what model it is, the store that has it emailed me images of it ...

does it take standard lensboards? are there any things i should think about before purchasing it? ( i have never seen standards &c configured like this camera's, it is rigid, and can it give a full range of movements for architectural type work?) if i run into problems with it, is it easy to obtain parts here in the usa? i don't speak italian and tried to look at the website for fatif, but it didn't really help much

thank you in advance for your help!
