Ok, As of right now I am using a hasselblad kit to shoot with. It has mostly turned into a tripod camera and its working great besides one thing. I need movements. I shot 4x5 with an arca swiss model A for about a year and loved using it because I could level the camera then work from there to get my composition, by using rise fall and shift. That is just not possible with the hasselblad. I am always fighting because I hate tilting the camera to get the correct composition because it throws off the feeling of the image for me. Given that sometimes I do tilt the camera to put emphasis on a opject/subject of the image when I use the Blad.
That is where the Shen Hao tfc69-a comes into play. It seams like it's the perfect camera for me. (I'm not interested in shooting 4x5 again because of the hassle of sheet film)
I just have a few questions for people who have used this camera.
It seams the only way to shoot verticals is by rotating the camera. Is that true? It would be a pain because I shoot headless on my tripod.
Is it a problem not having zero detents on any of the movements?
Is there any problems that is hard to get over, like having multiple movements on a single knob?
How do you think the camera will hold up to the beating of hiking in the bush of alaska.
Can it mount a rb67 back?
Is the accessory rail on top a normal cold/hot shoe. I would like to mount a frame viewfinder on it.
I will probably have some more questions later but as of now, THANKS.
