this camara is the most versatil I've ever had, simple to use and automatic depth of field, if you read the intructions on how to get it

I snapped the front rail holder, but got a replacement in 2 weeks

I really enjoy using this camara in the studio, and on the field... when I shoot for clients I know I have the sharpness that I need everywhere in the frame where I want it sharp, a true selective focus camera

Customer Service

they where very fast and understanding the problem that I had, and replace the front rail holder for a 75% of the cost

I tried the camron, and a horseman, but for the price this is very simple to get results fast

Excellent combination of lightweight and operability. I use it when I work in the field (not far from my car).

None.

I have chosen Sinar F because of its portability and light weight. Excellent range of movements. Easy to use. The built-in depth-of-field calculator is very helpful.

Customer Service

No reliability problems. Good service in Italy.

No other view camera.

Precision, versatility and full integration with other Sinar cameras and metering systems

Front and rear standards are wimpy.
Standards are suitable for horizontal shots but are not strong enough for much else (eg vertical shots).

A good entry into the Sinar view camera system

Good luck finding Sinar repair parts on their web page

The Sinar F1 is an economical and relatively light addition to the Sinar family. It incorporates the majority of features found on larger models without the price and inconvinience.

The only complait I wish to make about this fine camera is the lack of geared rise movements. This can be cumbersome to facilitate exact movement, though not hindering.

A truly versatile and valuable tool in all respects. Very highly recommended.
