Re: My New Wilderness 8x10
Well ... where are the pictures of it? Don't leave us in suspense.

Re: My New Wilderness 8x10
Next week I will do a video of it with its movements and will post it on you tube for you to see..
Re: My New Wilderness 8x10
Woowee, it takes the Sinar shutter. I believe I just found my next camera. Let's hear all about it.

Re: My New Wilderness 8x10
Hi Bob....when I looked at the images that the seller had on his site everything seemed good except for the fact that the rear standard pivots from the bottom and didn't seem to have a brace that attached to the center of the standard..like most other cameras...so this was the first thing that checked..It locks off more sturdy than my Sinar F2 8x10 and much more than my Linhof Technikardan 45...The rear standard clicks into postion and the whole locks off to become very rigid...saying all of this though the proof will be in the pudding...once I have shot something I will post again with my thoughts..
Re: My New Wilderness 8x10
Wow, that looks really good. And 2100 dollars for a brand new metal 8x10" camera is not bad at all.
All metal and only 3.75 kg! :eek:
Re: My New Wilderness 8x10
The link shows it weighing in at 8-1/4lb, and with 640mm of bellows extension, which
means even a 600 lens should be usable with a tophat, or at inifinity without one.
I'd be curious about the quality of the bellows material and of the central focus screw.
Re: My New Wilderness 8x10
Judging from the pictures on the BH Camera website, The Wildermess 8x0 has features that are similar to the all metal KB Canham JMC 810.
Folds like the Canham and has rear base tilt like the Canham. However, it uses a lead screw focusing mechanism similar to the Phillips.
The pictures show a Sinar to Linhof Tech lens board, as well as a Sinar shutter. Are these options?
A great combination of two outstanding camera designs.
If the build quality is high, this camera should prove to be a winner.
Hope the OP keeps us informed.
