I am just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this camera. I have the opportunity to purchase a kit and while it may not be a deal I can't refuse, I do think it would be worth considering. Though it's in another province so I can't get my hands on it to get a feel for it, or even see what it looks like. But am told it is in mint condition.
I shoot with my Calumet 4x5, and my Toyo Omega-View 4x5. My Calumet is great and rock-solid. But it's the CC4xx version without a graflok back. And doesn't work well with a 90mm.
My Toyo is great. I really love the fine focus control. But the swings and focus locks require me to disassemble and re-tighten them every now-and-then. Probably due to over-tighening. And I plan on getting a 6x17 film holder which makes that graflok back a necessity.
From what I hear about Sinar, is that they're rock solid, and require little maintenance. I assume they also have a graflok back?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
