This question was brought up in another thread, but the link to what looked like the answer didn't seem to work for me, so, I'll start my own thread...
I was wondering if you could actually use any size Sinar P/P2 frame on a Sinar X rear standard, given the fact that you're not supposed to be able to change out the main frame on the "X" model, even though I KNOW for a fact that it can be removed (just not as easily as on a P2, right?).
I don't have experience messing around with removing a Sinar X frame, because I actually don't own an X right now. I'm thinking about getting one for digital work in the future, and possibly 8x10. I use a Horseman LS-45 right now (which uses the same size lens boards as Sinar... Yay!).
I was concerned that maybe I'd have to mix and match a Sinar X front standard with another Sinar model for the rear standard if I wanted to do 8x10, for example.
So what's the deal with the compatibility between Sinar P/P2 frames and Sinar X standards, and how would you go about removing and installing P/P2 frames on an X model?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
