This is a fishing exercise but I was curious if any on this list has any
experience with a Crown Graphic 4x5 press camera?
I have had some ideas which may suit such but given the wooden body was
uncertain if it would survive out here. I have a Calumet/Cambo monorail
which does survive this environment but the only field cameras which
cope, from what I am told, are the Linhof tech's which are way beyond my
price. So does anyone know how the Crown Graphic wooden bodies cope with
dry temperatures that may range from minus five to 50 degrees Celsius?
Based on my experience wood cracks easily out here, BTW.
best wishes, Chris Jones.
