Hi,

I like my damn near free F1. The front standard is flimsy compared to the rear. Is there a better front standard option?

Thank you

Yes, the Sinar front standard of the f2, part number 431.61 or 431.62

It is also possible to use another rear standard as a front standard but in the reversed position.

In order of increased weight : F2 front standard, Sinar Norma standard, any X or p series standard of appropriate format size.

The problem with the F1 front standard is that it's really just an intermediate bellows standard.
