Carbon ∞ 4x5 View Camera - 5 years ago
After going through two Sinar cameras (F/F2), I decided out of the blue to shop for another system. The Sinar was nearly impossible to backpack so I needed something more compact. A field camera was out of the question since I wanted the stability and movements provided by a monorail. After searching the LF Info Forum for reviews and suitable replacments, I came upon a mention of the Carbon Infinity 4x5, a quasi monorail / field camera made mostly of carbon fiber with ultra light weight metals parts. The only problem was it is one of the rarest view cameras around. As luck would have it I found a used one in Christoph Greiner's shop in 2006. The camera is a beauty, I haven't had much chance to go hiking with it last year but hopefully I'd have more time to do so this year especially with the ultra-wide 55mm Apo-Grandagon I purchased to celebrate my 30th. Here's a short review I posted in the abovementioned forum:
