I recently purchased a used Swebo TCS20 in very nice condition; it's a mini view camera that's similar in spirit (if not build quality) to a Cambo ACTUS. The TCS20 came with a mount for a Fujifilm GFX, which I don't own. However, before I purchased the camera, I contacted Swebo who assured me that a Nikon F mount was available through Amazon. So I ordered the camera and adapter, looking forward to some fun experimenting.
Unfortunately, when the package from Swebo finally arrived, it contained another GFX mount instead of the Nikon F mount that I'd ordered. I contacted the seller who apologized and agreed to send the correct part.
Since then, Amazon issued a refund for the purchase, with instructions to get a return mailing label from the seller. After not hearing back from Swebo through Amazon, I sent them an email directly. The replied that the F adapter would be available in a few days, and not to bother returning the incorrect item.
Since then, Swebo has stopped responding to my emails asking for updates. Also, their website now displays only 'Error establishing a database connection,' which I don't take to be a good sign.
I'd very much like to get the TC20 swapped over to a Nikon mount, and I was hoping that someone might have some ideas to help. I see Cambo has a Nikon F adapter for the ACTUS (link); unfortunately, the website doesn't include the dimensions, so I'm not sure I could make it work.
I should point out that I have no complaints with my purchase of the used TCS20; my problem is strictly with the manufacturer.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
