any opinions on a sinar f2 8x10 for field portrait work?
I've looked around a lot on ebay and there are so many sinars and so many spare parts, rails, etc that it seems like it would be well supported, or if I wanted to convert to 4x5 just get another rear standard
looking to collapse it on a 6" standard, leave the rail clamp on the tripod and pack it in a lowe pro backpack. I'm guessing it's twenty lbs plus holders. (not insignificant I know)
for comparison I'm used to the tenba shoulder bag 676 with RZ, two lenses, mamiya7 and turbo bat/flash combo. Can't be that much worse right ? :ROTFL:
considerations are cost getting in since I might get stuck with it if 8x10 goes dodo. then the conversion option is a safety valve.
in another thread jack mentioned arca swiss- as rare as hens teeth I'm afraid on ebay and new, fugghetaboutit. looks like half the weight but I'm hoping the sinar f is somewhat lighter since it has less geared movements.
