Sinar p2 View Camera
Strength:
Its modular design (you can buy it in pieces)makes it suitable, if not superb, for most LF needs. The one I assembled for my studio food photography has been in daily use for 10 years with minimum of servicing. All 4x5's are cumbersome in use but this one gives great transparencies and offers me the luxury of observing the ground glass with both eyes, sitting in my chair.
Weakness:
The metering system, Sinar Booster 1, outlived my old Minolta flash meter, and their newest model (Minolta Flash Meter V) is not fully compatible with Booster 1. If one can afford this camera there's a reliable tool for at least the rest of one's life. What more can I ask? Customer Service OK Similar Products Used: Linhof Kardan L |

Sinar p2 View Camera
Strength:
asymmetric tilts and swings, Yaw free, great effects for landscape and portraiture with that "shimfleug" effect
Weakness:
none It has all the appeal of a true studio camera with all the history of photography to back it up. Customer Service It is very adaptable for fine art photography and still lifes. My customers get into the black cloth idea of posing for a portrait like at an old timey studio. Similar Products Used: Mamiya RB67 Pro S, Cambo 4X5, |
