Review 5 of 9
Summary: I work in the western Alps at high altitude. My little Wista DX is the best combination of operability and light weight. Some of my pictures are exhibited on my site: http://www.geocities.com/mvacchiano Strengths: I use Wista DX on a Berlebach Tripod. If the wind doesn't blow it is quite solid. Good range of movements. Light and compact for backpacking. Weaknesses: 1. Short bellows. With 150 mm lens and Horseman Teleconverter 2x I can shoot at infinity and long distances only. 2. Camera out of balance with long lenses because tripod thread is too behindhand. 3. Tripod thread small: I would like 3/8" Similar Products Used: Graflex Super Graphic is more solid but without movements on rear standard. Linhof Technika have long bellows and large movements but it's too heavy. I use a Sinar F2 when I can work close to my car. Customer Service: No service in Italy (coming soon).
