I am currently using an Intrepid 4x5 for field work and find it a bit fiddly and time consuming to setup. I had thought, when starting out in 4x5 photography that I would buy a cheap camera and see how I get on. I’m really enjoying it and would like to purchase something a little more refined and easier to setup. I’m also thinking of doing some studio work, especially in the cold and wet winter months.
I’ve got the opportunity of buying a Cambo SCX, which I understand has geared movements and is heavy, so probably suitable for studio work only? Also available is a Cambo SC which I’m thinking would be better for field work but also useable in the studio? Are the Cambos easy/quick to setup in the field? Do they have stops at zero points? I’d be interested in hearing from any members who have used both cameras and advice on whether they would be an upgrade on the Intrepid? Thanks in advance.
