Hi guys!
I just stumbled upon this camera:

Anyone heard/know anything about it? Any good?
Kind regards
Paul
It's a Chamonix Cuckoo...

It was discussed maybe 1-2 weeks ago; you should be able to go back and see what was said then.

Compare the Chamonix 8x10 (http://www.chamonixviewcamera.com/810.html) and the Shen-Hao FCL810-A (https://www.badgergraphic.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=925) with the BHCamera Wilderness.
The Shen-Hao FCL810-A is cheaper, and the back swings. The Wilderness tilt control is at the base of the standards, which will get more force applied to keep it locked down. Both the Chamonix and the Shen-Hao lock in the mid-upper part of the standard, which is a better place for stability. But for the price of the Chamonix, you can buy a Ritter 8x10 (http://www.lg4mat.net/LFcamera.html).
Everything is a trade-off.
