New Chamonix in 3 months-ish

[Hugo Zhang]

045F-1 will add a few millimeters of thickness and some twenty grams weight to 45N camera. This is a small price we have to pay for adding the important yaw-free function of the rear standard.

Thanks and best wishes for the New Year!

All I can say is, beautiful.

Hugo: the new camera looks great! Will this design also be applied to larger formats?

045F-1 camera is a model between Chamonix N and Chamonix P models.

I think I've missed this. What are the P models? First I've heard of it.

David,

Hass has something like precision/studio camera in mind and it is still in design stage.

Thanks.
Hugo

Oh man, that's probably going to kill me when it comes out!

[Brian Ellis]

And I just ordered my first LF camera, the n-2!

Not to worry, unlike digital cameras a LF camera can still make photographs after the new model comes out. : - )

Hugo, and the mysterious Hass:

Well done, looks like it will be a great product!

That is beautiful, I have 2 friends using the earlier Chamonix 45s and they are both a pleasure to work with.

Years ago, I worked for a finance company. If we gave you a loan and used your furniture as collateral, and if you did not pay on the loan, we would call you and threaten to come out and "Pick up your Sticks". People never really knew what we were saying, until we came out with a big truck and 3 "gorillas" to drag your furniture out of the house.

Industry lanquage begets confusion. Perhaps one day someone will explain YAW for you as it pertains to Large Format cameras. Otherwise, it sounds to me like you just get the addition of YAW for no additional cost.

LOL LOL I use to "steal your ride" I did car repo when i was kid.... I dont care about the "yaw" i am waiting for a cheaper N2 ... Chamonix is a great camera....

No No i have changed my mind after seeing the pictures...... what a work of art..... sigh .sure beats the Graflex i have been using... i am just waiting for my income tax check..... is there waiting list? and how much cash will it take to play.....
