Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and looking into getting my first 8x10 for backpacking, there doesn't appear to be too many options, definitely not affordable ones at least.

I have the a nice tripod with a good arca head, a Fujinon W 250/6.7, L558 spot meter + cloth & loupe etc. Now all I need are the holders and the camera...

Am I better to shop used, bide my time aswell as save cash for something like a Chamonix or Canham. Or would I be better starting with something cheaper like the Intrepid mk2 or the Stenopeika Hyper 8x10?

I am based in the UK btw, thanks all.
