Chamonix 45n1 classic? A new model?

[blue4130]

So I am about to replace my nagaoka 4x5 and was looking at the chamonix website again. I noticed that they have updated the 45n2 page with a new camera called the 45n1 classic.

The wording in the description is a little vague, does anyone know what the difference between the 45n2 and the 45n1 classic is?

From what I can tell, N-1 classic has the updated ball bearing track of the N-2, but DOES NOT have universal bellows, and is also missing this ...

Which the N-2 seems to have, although I can't seem to figure out what it does.

But it is 100 grams lighter than the N-2

Hope that helps.

Stone - that's the redesigned rear swing mechanism on the N-2 which allows the sliding mechanism to remain square with the camera bed (they also added some guide rails to help keep the sliding straight).

The N1 Classic has a purty red bellows! :cool:
