Jack,
How bright is the ground glass? Compared to your ex-Arca? Any plans to get say a Maxwell screen for the Chamonix?

Note that I have moved ALL of my Chamonix images to this album: Chamonix 4x5, Maple
Lots of talk about Chamonix but I have a question. Do they do add ons like other companies?
Reducing backs?
Hi Jack (don't say that at an airport),
On your picture with the 65mm mounted, is the front rise the limit of coverage, or some mechanical limitation? Thanks in advance.
Personally, I wish Shen-Hao and Chamonix would make parts available for sale. There are some aspects that would be nice to use on projects.
Ciao!

I bought a replacement back for my Shen Hao. I'm sure if you asked they would sell you other things.
Nick and Gordon,
Chamonix plans to make add ons and parts for the popular 45N-1. But at this moment, the factory is running at its full capacity to make more 4x5 cameras to meet the demand of the long long waiting list. Blame Jack and Amund for starting threads like this...
So probably some time next year we are going to have good news for the add ons and parts. There are a few dozens of Chamonix 45 camera users in China wishing and waiting for accessaries too. One thing I want to make clear here: Chamonix is not expanding nor outsourcing its production capacity to meet demand and has no plan to do so in the future. To train a good wood craftman takes years and the factory understands top quality along with excellent service is its life. They can not afford to take any risk on these two things.
Hugo if I do get one it would be one of the bigger cameras. Depending on the format I get I'd like at least one reducing back. To be honest I wouldn't mind a little longer bellows to.
