Stone, since you are getting an extra $100.00 back you ought to splurge a little and buy this one.

That's ONLY 5 lbs heavier than the Ritter and 3lbs heavier than the Chamonix and costs 3 times as much... Yea sounds like a deal! Lol!Originally Posted by Alan Gales
Want to come to VT and play with one for a day just bring film.
Will reply to PM in a day.

Well I DO have to drive to Nova Scotia at the end of the month... So that's a worthwhile detour... Now I'll just have to buy some 8x10 film just for "testing" lol. Was planning to do my test work with ektascan x-ray film but since I'm not familiar with that I might have to bite the bullet.
Are there any Ritter 8x10s in or around Wisconsin? I'd love to see one.

All I can say is I like RR's cameras so well I purchased 3 of them....... 7x17, 8x10 & 8x10 modified for 5x7. The best advice I could give ANYONE looking to purchase a LF camera is to give Richard a call and discuss your needs. His suggestions just may save you a LOT of $$.
Good luck with your purchase! Be sure to get the DVD manual!
I second, calling him directly with an open mind and a listening ear.
Then take his advice and be patient, I imagine midsummer may be his busy time, but as a fellow Northerner I always prefer to be outside during fair weather and save cabin work for foul.
Randy, do you have one of his cameras?

I have only the most important parts of a camera from Richard Ritter.
Last winter he modified my Deardorff SC11 with a new RR bail back and made me RR film holders. He made sure my RR back and RR holders have matching and correct 'T'.
His work with new bellows made my SC11 fresh and a joy to use.
All excellent craftsmanship and he has any further business I may need in wood view cameras.
I am considering a RR 11x14 field camera, but that may not be financially possible this year. It's the obvious choice as I already have RR holders!
Sh, don't tell Mr Ritter...
I love my RR 8x10. Anyone in or near Maine is welcome to come play with it. I also have an RR 5x7.
