Has anyone ever used an M-monolith function carrier on an F-Field camera? I'm wondering whether it is possible to replace my rear F-Field function carrier with a rear M-monolith function carrier. Looking at the brochure the M carrier seems much bigger (taller) than the F-Field carrier and I'm worried that I'd have to apply front rise to bring the two standard frames to the same height. This would obviously then restrict how much more rise was available from the front standard.
M-monlith owners: I'm also trying to find out the measurements and weight of the M-Monlith function carrier (or standard holders) - when I say 'function carrier' Imean the unit that sits on the rails and under the frame, and which moves up and down the rail when focusing. I'm would particularly like the height from the rail to the top of the function carrier. This measurement would help me to figure out whether the two different standards would be aligned at the same height or if I would need to apply rise to the front F-Field standard. I've checked the AS documentation and this info is not published.
Thanks
Paul
