Hello,
I own an Arca-Swiss F-classic 6x9 and would like to make a conversion to 4x5. I would like to hear your expierences with the new and old conversion set. Maybe someone who changed to the new F-field 6x9-4x5" 110-140mm part number is 022345 (benefit: smaller format frame, longer bellows, less size and weight) and do not uses the previous 110-171mm parts anymore, is willing to sell them. Or is someone planing to go lightweight-digital (or film) with Arca-Swiss and my 6x9 parts (we could swap the parts)?
Are this the parts-No. for old conversion?
No. 062001: Format frame F-classic 4x5" rear,
No. 080007: Film holder and groundglass frame 4x5" with Fresnel,
No. 071030: Wide angle bellows 6x9 - 4x5" 24cm conical leather?

i have an arca swiss Fline 69 and a Fline 45 (171), i've consider to buy yhe wide angle conical bellow in order to use my 4x5 back on the 6x9... then i realise that with the new kit (140), you have more bellow, more rise (because the rear standar is smaller) and less weight... just better in all points, so i think i will sold my 4x5, and with the money, i will just bought a new kit...
