I am interested in either buying a Chamonix V8x10 (http://www.chamonixviewcamera.com/cameras/810v) or a Gibellini (https://www.gibellinicamera.com/product/acn810/). Would someone help me out in finding the differences and with answering some of my questions (below)?
Chamonix:
- Carbon fiber and wood with a weight of 4.3kg
- Bellows 95 to 650 mm
- Front Rise/Fall of 105mm
- Front Shift 50 mm to each side
- Rear Shift 0 mm
- Rear Swing 10 mm to each side
- Rear Tilt backwards 10 mm, front limited by bellows
Gibellini:
- Full Aluminum Camera with a weight of 3.8 kg
- Bellows 30 to 580 mm
- Front Rise/Fall + 65 / -55 mm
- Front Shift 45 mm
- Rear Shift 45 mm
- Rear Swing 45 deg
- Rear Tilt - 20 / + 90 deg
Gibellinis shorter min Bellows extensions of 30mm means it would be better for wide angle lenses?
Chamonix's longer max Bellows extension of 650mm means it would be better for tele photo lenses?
Is Chamonix's Front Rise/Fall really 105mm? To me it doesn't look almost twice as much than that of Gibellini?
Also if anyone has any of those two cameras I would be happy about any advice.
Right now I own a Chamonix F2 and am very happy with it.
