New Chamonix

Post by Paul Mitchell » Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:13 am Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Just spotted this over on another forum http://www.chamonixviewcamera.com/045F1.html

Bit cheaper than a 45SU methinks...

Very interesting... I noticed they've skipped the more complicated swing locks of the 45N2 ... Would like to try one out :-)
Waiting for the developing bill - 2 hours (and it's so small now!)

I think they're only going to be about £80 more expensive than the 045n2.

On the 045F1 page it states "045F1 is a model between Chamonix 045N and 045P models". I'm familiar with the N1 and N2 - what's the 045P?

The 45P is not available it's a proposed studio 45 camera.

If any of you can read chinese (or can understand google translate's output :lol: ) then there's an early review here:

http://forum.xitek.com/thread-1018652-1-1-1.html

Mine should arrive mid-feb so I'll post up a review on my site in due course.
