A questions to those who have used both Phillips and Chamonix 8x10 cameras: how sturdy is the Chamonix by comparison to the Phillips? According to several forums, the Phillips seems to be one of the most wind- and vibration-proof yet light weight 8x10s. Looking at a photograph of the Chamonix 8x10 (http://www.chamonixviewcamera.com/810.html), some of the metal parts look more like those of a Canham 8x10 which supposedly 'rattles' quite a bit. On the other hand, the design of the Chamonix seems to be based on the Phillips, so I wonder how the two compare in practice.
In any event, I have a Wehman which I am quite happy with but I may want to purchase a second 8x10 in the future. Thanks.
