Hi
After using my Arca-Swiss 5x4" camera for making platinum contact prints, I feel that I would like to move up to something larger. I'm able to get an F-line 10 x8" conversion kit at a fairly reasonable price (still very expensive). However , I have both F-line and M-line cameras, and am wondering what differences there are between the F-line and M-line 10x8" backs, and whether the F-line back will work okay on the M-line camera.
I originally thought the only difference was that the F-line has a marked scale (in centimetres) for the shift movements, but looking at the pricelist, the M-li ne conversion is more expensive than the F-line...
Or maybe I should go for an entirely separate 10x8" (or larger!) camera...
I'd also appreciate any comments from Arca 10x8 users.
