A brief demo of the Chamonix 8x10 view camera. I have added a newer version of this video which shows the rear standard tilt mechanism called "six minute exposure."

  • Great video! Where do you get the 4x10 film?

  • @tpeare I cut 8x10 in half in a blacked-out room. I set up a jig on a trimmer to keep it consistent.

  • love your work

  • @wildmanraven Thanks!

  • @mccormickstudio@mccormickstud­io

    have you still got your camera, i have a sinar 8x10 and have been tinking of one of these or a toyo field. these are beatiful, but i am not sure about stability.

    do they have sliders that are wood or metal or have you had any issues with stability

    thanks

    also do you have any pic on flicker, or large format forum?

  • @wildmanraven I do still have it. The Chamonix is much lighter than the Toyo 8x10 field. It is very stable. The front extension is on a geared carbon fiber extension base, very light an rigid. The rear extension (used only on very long focal lengths 450mm+) are wood sliders which also allow you to rotate the rear standard. The tightening knobs are aluminum with a plastic fitting which tightens really well (except for front standard tilt, intentionally doesn't lock down).

  • @mccormickstudio Thanks for the info. This video prompted me to purchase a Chamonix 8x10 for myself with the 4x5 reducing back. I have yet to use her but man, she's a real beauty. Thanks again for the info.

  • So, much, control!

  • Wonderful Camera!

    Digital is a dead medium.

    Analog is the best way........
