Aluminum-alloy modular construction — the camera consists of a monorail spine, sliding standards (front and rear), interchangeable bellows, and a ground-glass back. Front and rear movements: rise, fall, shift, swing, tilt — all geared and lockable. Designed for studio commercial work; also used in the field by photographers willing to carry 4.5 kg.

About this camera
Sinar's mid-tier monorail. The studio LF body that working photographers actually carry — lighter than the Sinar P, more refined than the F.
