Upgrading a Sinar F1 to 8x10?

[jonbrisbincreative]

To upgrade my Sinar to 8x10 do I just need need to add a back standard and bellows?

Are the P standards the only ones at 8x10?

How much should I budget for standard and bellows?

Thanks!

The rear standard on the P is heavier and has greater range of rise and fall. A simple way to identify is to look at the horizontal, flat black knob that controls the left/right shift. This knob on the 8x10 standard is surrounded by an aluminum frame. The knob on the lighter version is open on two sides.

These days sometimes it's cheaper just to buy a whole other camera than a dedicated component.

From what I have seen on Ebay with the Sinar 8x10 backs, Drew is correct.
