Older ARCA F-line?

[SAShruby]

Can anyone tell me if this is an older style of F-line?
Anything I should be aware of to check before I buy it?

I need it for macro-photography...

It looks like it has the older 171mm standards (ie uses big 171mm lensboards) but that's not a big handicap. You should be able to get the adapter for smaller lensboards if you want.

Doug,

I'm particularly reffering to carrier [front]. As you can see, it has a knob instead of a clip. Never saw that before.

Peter,
If you are referring to the knob-type lens board holder mechanism, I can vouch for the older 6x9 AS I have that has them. My 6x9 also uses an older style lens board (beveled edge), but other than that, it operates the same as my newer 4x5 Field Classic.

That is the Basic carrier, and I've only seen it on the Discovery line. The comparison pic is from the Precision Camera site.

Oh you mean no duckbill. I've never seen that either.

And it has the newer thick rail....

Thanks, I'm gonna probably use this one for extending bellows on my 80 cm rail. I'm hoping this one has 30cm rail for carrier, then I can got up to 130cm!!!

Not bad. All I need some good macro lens.

That's the one I've got on mine,
and it isn't a Discovery.

As has been mentioned, it's an F Basic-
