I'm considering either Fotoman Dmini or a Fotoman 69. My business is street photography but I find myself doing architectural work from time to time and I feel a Fotoman product would be great in this capacity.
My question is, what exactly do I need to get up and running? From what I can tell I need a Cone, a Helical, a Lens, a Body, a Back, a Viewfinder, a Release, a Handle, and a Viewfinder Mask. Am I missing anything?
I would also like to know if I could use Kiev 120 backs on the Fotoman Dmini (last I heard they're like $60 new), as well as opinions of Hasselblad wind knobs on the A12 backs? I know the Horseman knobs are fairly straightforward, are the Hasselblad knobs finicky at all? Will I have to turn them some fraction to advance a full frame?
Does anyone know much about the quality of the Fotoman products these days? Or has had any experience with them that could give an opinion?
Thanks in advance,
John
