Review 2 of 4
Model Reviewed: Sinar p2 View Camera Summary: If one can afford this camera there's a reliable tool for at least the rest of one's life. What more can I ask? Strengths: Its modular design (you can buy it in pieces)makes it suitable, if not superb, for most LF needs. The one I assembled for my studio food photography has been in daily use for 10 years with minimum of servicing. All 4x5's are cumbersome in use but this one gives great transparencies and offers me the luxury of observing the ground glass with both eyes, sitting in my chair. Weaknesses: The metering system, Sinar Booster 1, outlived my old Minolta flash meter, and their newest model (Minolta Flash Meter V) is not fully compatible with Booster 1. The electronic shutter was not worth the price, so I switched back to the mechanical one. Similar Products Used: Linhof Kardan L Customer Service: OK
