Hello All,
I am an Arca user with a 6x9 camera for digital use (Phase One) and a 4x5 format set to shoot 4x5 quickloads. If I'd like to shoot 8x10, then the only Arca solution seems to be an 8x10 format set for over $4000. I don't seem to be able to find much Arca stuff used.
If I want to shoot 8x10, would the best option be finding a used 8x10 camera of another make for about $1500? The nice part about the Arca is the 8x10 is only about 10 lbs, while other cameras (Toyo, etc.) seem to be in the 15 lb to 20 lb range. My application is outdoor landscape so lugging weight is an issue. Any ideas?
