Expected shipping is one or two months away. I will know the pricing in two weeks.

Very tasty indeed hugo. Do you think there maybe a 5x7 conversion kit where the 4x5 cameras could have a 5x7 back added? They look really similar, just a larger back. Also a 4x5 adaptor for the 5x7's?

I am not a fan of (most) things made in China but I must say that this looks really impressive. I'd love to test drive one for a while.

Would the the 5x7 have the ability to have a reducing back to 4x5???

I just noticed a bunch of 5x7 film holders on EBAY. Stumbled upon them when I was looking at another HB&H lens up for auction. Same seller also has many other interesting vintage items. I have no relation nor connection to the seller, though I thought it might interest a few here, since it seems 5x7 film holders are not that common.

Ciao!

I believe it has now been 2 weeks since the day of the post-Pricing?:):):)

I need another two weeks as the owner of Chamonix is on the trip somewhere in Tibet and there is no phone or internet contact.

Beautiful camera! I noticed that the back is hold by a thin spring rod. I wonder if it is strong enough to hold film holder tightly. I have a 5x12 back made by Shenhao of similar construction, and the spring is weak!

Any interest of group purchase?
