Hey Richard, your new camera is looking FINE and I'm loving the big wooden handles - items that puzzle us Arca shooters?Nice Gareth! How do you find the hood in the wind? Have thought about the Arca but they are pretty rare over here.
Its the Lee wide angle lens hood.wich compendium is that?
lee's or arca's
:thumbs:I just ordered the slotted version now too - thanks for the camera porn!
Gareth, that's really helpful. I regularly have to use my hands to shade the lens...not to mention hold filters in front of the lens because the 24XL vignettes with anything in front of it! So this could be a really useful addition.
Is it easy to get on and off? I'm wondering about changing lenses and how that works.
BTW, the wood handles on the Cambo are just beautifully tactile - easy to get in and out of the camera bag and feel very secure when putting it on the tripod too. Feeeel it!
Chris - Peartree Photo also stock Arca in the UK and (shock, horror) actually have all their prices listed on their website - thus avoiding the annoying 'call for price' tag.Gareth - Wow an RM3d in the UK very nice, a rare bird over here. Did you get it via a UK dealer? I am awaiting a quote from Robert White but I think it may be a bit top end for me.
It will be interesting to see how it stacks up cost wise against the Techno I have an eye on.

+1 on the Linhof Techno and Paula. I absolutely love mine. I initially thought of getting the Alpa STC but in the end it just didn't make sense for me. As with Arca R mounts, the lenses are expensive and because I mainly shoot 6x7 film I preferred standard lens panels and straight gg focusing. Couldn't be happier!Chris - Peartree Photo also stock Arca in the UK and (shock, horror) actually have all their prices listed on their website - thus avoiding the annoying 'call for price' tag.
Personally, I use a Techno - couldn't be happier - fantastic camera - very flexible - perfect for digital - Paula at Linhof and Studio is great to deal with, I'd try and arrange to demo one.
