Hi guys,
I'm thinking to buy a Sinar Handy camera, and I have some questions about it.
I've not found many infos on the web about the camera so I hope someone will be able to help me here:
I want to use it for portraits, so I don't need lens movements, it can be used for the task?
Can I mount a 270mm lens on it and which type of lens board/coneplate I need?
Is it compatible with the sinar DB shutter as I'm thinking to use some barrel or sinar db lens without shutter?
The Sinar Six meter can be fitted on the back?
I've read that the back is a standard Sinar P, so I think it would?
What do you think in general about the camera?
Sorry for a lot of questions but really I can't find any answer on the web and also the manual is unavailable everywhere.
Thanks in advance for any help.
