Has anyone experience with the Foba mini-superball for a large format

4x5 field or monorail Camera?

Since it is difficult to find the View camera magazine in Europe. Is

there anyone who can tell me more about the Viecamera review

(sept/oct) of the Wehman 8x10 camra? Strong, weak points, comparable

to other cameras, recommendation?

Somebody offers me a Horseman HF 4x5 field camera. Is anyone familiar with this camera? I tried to find more information about this camera but couldn't find anything (horseman website)

What is the age? In what way does it differ from the Horseman FA or HD?

Looking for a second hand field camera I saw A Calumet 1C 8x10 camera. I never heard before of this camera. Has anyone experience with this camera? Weak and strong points? How does it compare to for instance a Wista?

Who has experience with the Gandolfi variant 8x10 camera. It seems e reasonable light and affordable 8x10 camera. Is it better than a Wisner traditional or Wista or Wehman?

Is the Bogen 3021 (manfrotto 055) with a Bogen 3275 junior geared head(manfrotto 410) suitable for a 3kg 4x5 camera (Arca discovery, Walker titan). If not, which model is the next in the Bogen/Manfrotto range that will do?

On the Calumetphoto site I found information about the "new?" ultralight models (4x5 and 8x10). Who has experience with these new cameras. How do they compare (rigidity?) to the older ones or the Wisners.

As a LF starter my first step on the LF trail is to choose a camera. My camera queest now is between a field or monorail camera. I read several reviews but cannot make my final decision. Who can give me advice?

The cameras that are on my list are:

Arca Swiss Discovery

Wista 45DX

Walker titan

They are for me (in Europe) all in the same price range.

Which camera is the most easy to use in the field, to set up and to transport. Is the Arca Swiss, about which I read a lot of favourable comments, just as easy to use as a field camera?

And are there other cameras I should consider?
