BELLOWS EXTENSION
Now this is a tricky one. Toyo 810M is as close to monorail as it can be this sting at 950mm is rock solid!!! its fascinating i have to say! Canham has 850mm of bellows but in my opinion this is not usable, not without one more tropod in front or magic arm. This Kodak has maximum of 500mm it was my decision to shorten the draw in order to get maximum stability. is Canham usable with heavy 600mm+ lens, well not for me.
Also Toyo and Kodak have recent Rudy. his quality and materials used are radically improved over last year. on the other hand Canham bellows are not to par with the rest. there is some bizarre torsion kink, at bigger extension, they drape like crazy and material used for top layer collect tons of dust. for me personally bellows on Canham are the worst part after a nylon strap
