Hello Again,
Still reading and looking for info to help me make some beginner's decisions on entering LF monorails. I am working on pretty much a bargan basement, not looki ng to make money from photography.
Both of the above camera groups would seem to fit the bill. As you know the Cam bo SC's are a bit more expensive on the used and internet market. What I want t o do: architectural photos (exterior mostly), bridges, outdoor sculpture and pub lic works, and some table top for fun. I think I could get by without the rear- rise on the Calumets by using the tripod. However, I am very worried that I wil l not be able to use a 90mm or 75mm in a recessed lensboard on the Calumet. Or can the Calumet's regular bellows be interchanged with a bag or shorter bellows. Lastly, can the monrail be removed for easier transportation?
I don't need, nor want a "Cadillac" of a LF camera. A Chevy that will take me ar ound the block is just fine.
Thanks in advance for any illumination you can provide.
[I drive a Corvair, thank you very much!]
