new format new camera 8x10

[Mike A]

I'm temporarily downsizing to 8x10 and was looking for some suggestions in an 8x10.

Requirements are as follows.

Plenty of bellows, tipple draw if at all possible.

Good range of movements, I play with architecture from time to time.

Folding or non folding is not an issue.

Rotating back for verticals.

I would like to pick something up on the used market.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Mike

PS

I've been shooting a Phillips so I'm probably damn spoiled.

A magnesium Calumet C1. Lots of movements (all but rear rise/fall), 34inches of bellows draw, folds up reasonably, rotating back, plenty on the used market, and locks down tightly. Plus, it'a a really pretty green color. Best. Shawn

It's in the running, thanks Shawn.

Kodak Masterview.

I was going to suggest a Phillips, but since you cannot find them anymore, a Masterview would be my 1st choice.

Keep your eyes out for a used Zone VI Ultralight. Under 10 lbs, has 34" of bellows, can focus a 159mm lens at infinity on a flat lensboard, has rise/fall/swing/tilt up front, rear swing/tilt/shift. If not that, a Canham 8x10 is a very nice option also.

The C-1 Green Monster, even in the Magnesium version, is still 14 lbs, no lens. It's a beast. A very functional beast, but a beast nonetheless.

Toyo 810G or 810M. I love both.

Shen Hao - the one that is similar to phillips - light weight and versatile.

Hi !
As yo say any design, I said : Sinar Norma 8x10. It fist on a backpack easily, and is sooo good and versatile you won't ever want another camera ;-)

Why not a Phillips Mike? My approximately 1993 Advantage series has more than enough draw to shoot a Fuji 600 C which I think you decided to buy. The back can be turned but does not rest in a heavy revolving frame. It is lighter than my Linhof TK45 when the TK's tel/macro frame is added. It is the same rigid you have had in the 11x14. I like it because the 8x10 can be enlarged to 20x24 without any loss of detail. Ooops, now you need an 8x10 enlarger. In some of my series for school I mix 7x17 contacts with 20x24 enlargements. Now to find a Phillips you can afford. Have you called or written Dick Phillips? I want to keep mine, but I'll send a PM with an idea where you might find one.

Wehman. I'm more fond of that minimalist design every time I use it. Less than 9 lbs. makes my back happy, too.

Gandolfi Traditional?

Burke & James the cheapy and heavy and stable one!
I have a very nice one, Armin
