I don't know if any of you has seen this before.
A bunch of French guys decided to get into the manufacturing of 8x10 cameras. Their models look really nice and I read they are somewhat affordable (well... not for me but I read they are some of the cheapest on the market).

Nice lookers, and some very flashy bellows! But it looks very well made and has a good range of movements. The Intrepid 8x10 is quite a bit cheaper and weighs 1 kg less. The interesting thing about large format cameras now is that European cameras are the cheapest and the Chinese are the most expensive.

This reminds me of the times when Hasselblads used Kodak lenses because the Zeiss glass was "second grade"....

Looks fun.
But first I need to perfect my point & shoot technique

I believe you need to do a bit of body building first.
Doing handheld street photography with one of these is sure to need quite a bit of muscle
