Tim no issues here my friend and same with Jack, actually just chatted with him a little bit ago. The Cambo is a sweetie the RS one is nice and small and has nice geared movements and a nice compliment to your back. No one yet seems to have had any real issues with it and some folks here own it and love it. Don comes to mind immediately. Tim also Jack and I do have and tested the Helicon focus software with our Phase Kits . I posted a thread in image processing and damn if it does not work as advertised, cheap price to pay for focus all the way through the image. Do check out that thread , pretty darn interesting and very fast. Really solves some DOF issues and I was using long lenses to boot. Now you still will have to test it like I said sometime the posted 10 ft is not reality ten feet so need to know what truly is ten feet on the scale on the lens. I shot a 47mm and it was dead to nuts on the money and very very nice. The 35mm should be a nice lens on it. I also think you can get a ground glass for it if you want to go that route also. Lot's of info on that on the Calumet site and may want to check out all the parts that you may want or need. Now not slamming Alpa, Arca or Silvestri but at least Calumet products are more universal worldwide and maybe easier to get what you need and such. Anyway good luck and let's hope this all works out in the end. i am actually glad you kept the Phase back since I really believe in those backs and the software myself, more importantly they produce nice files.
