Yeah, I am not sure there was a discount for the group purchase.

As for the serial numbers, they don't make much sense to me.

Mine is 0086.

Did they make 86 or 237 cameras so far?

Who knows.

I just wish the price of the 5x7 would come down.

I don't think so, I got the same price quote for a next run in the summer of 2008.

I'm really looking forward to your experiences with the Chamonix cameras. The price is no obstacle (I'm a second hand cheapskate) but I only hope the cameras will stand the times.

Everything I've read seems to indicate they do.  The Carbon Fiber makes them pretty solid, as well as light - but, the test of time remains.

David,

Have you had a chance to work with yours yet? Between the weather and work, I haven't even taken mine out of the house. I'm frustrated.

I did have chance.

I shot it a bunch over xmas and new years as well as a road trip to Amarillo two days ago.

It is really nice to use.

The controls are easy and the screen is bright.

I just wish they had a folding focusing hood.

It is much faster to set up than my Canham and about the same as the Toyo.

I love how light it is. With my Bogen carbon fiber tripod and Kirk BH-3 head,
it is a very light set up.
