Sinar X View Camera

MSRP: $

Description: The Sinar x delivers the most popular features of the Sinar p2 for a significantly lower cost. The X still delivers all the speed and ease of use of the p2's geared movements, swing and tilt calculation and Sinar system compatibility.

Price Paid:  $3700.00

Summary:
If you have money and trully want the BEST!!!you can not miss with a Sinar X

Strengths:
If physical or should I say mechanical stealth is one of your requirement's. Look no further. In the Sinar X you will find nirvana.This camera reek's of stealth.The asymmetric tilts & swings are the epitome of refinement and design the depth of field ring on the focusing knob is a very useful and accurate tool. The ruleings on the ground glass when used per Sinar's sugessted procedure. Will make the worst large format photographers work look professional. With it's beautiful self arresting movement's it's system versatility it's ease of operation it's accuracy in repeatability and of course it's stealth you could not have found a better friend in large format photography.

Weaknesses:
This camera requires a very big case. Not what you would call compact. It is very heavy. The cost of this camera makes some of the wealthiest pro's whine. Because it does not have the facility to upgrade in format e.g. 8x10 or 5x7 if you what this feature get the Sinar p2 for another $3300.
