Old Sinar P or Horseman LX
Hi
Both are used, priced about $1000. Which one to get? The horseman lx is newer, more movements, including adjustable film/lens plane, everything except swing and tilt are geared. In Sinar P everything including swing and tilt are geared, but it's older design. Sinar P is ~1.5 lbs lighter. Is $1000 a good price for them? thanks for the helps, rob |

Old Sinar P or Horseman LX
I have a Horseman LS and love it for studio work (it is not a
travelling companion like a folder!). Geared movements is not the cat's meow...I have never wanted geared swing and tilts! So gearing a not a selling point to me. Does the Sinar P have a 'DOF computer'? There is one on the Horseman. Horseman and Sinar things are typically interchangeable, like lens boards, bellows, and other things. A new LX can be had on B&H at $3400, while a new P2 is $7400, so based upon relative 'discount' your P is a 'better deal', but then it is older and more depreciated. No matter what you choose, both are good deals. |
