Sinar P

{"overview":"The Sinar P is a 4x5 large-format monorail view camera from the Swiss manufacturer Sinar, positioned as a studio and architectural tool with full geared movements on both standards. These are wholesale saleroom results, and the spread reflects how heavily completeness drives value — a bare standard set sells for far less than a well-equipped outfit, so what a Sinar P is worth depends almost entirely on which bellows, rails, format backs and lens boards are included.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes by shining a torch inside in a dark room, check that all geared movements (rise, fall, shift, swing and tilt) operate smoothly without slipping, and confirm the rail clamps lock firmly. Verify that the ground glass is uncracked and correctly seated, and that the back accepts standard international fittings cleanly.
