Rob
I purchased one in 84 and used for a few years and loved it. I found it on 
the heavy side, but to me wieght equates with quality, It easily came down 
for transport, the bellows clipped out, the two standards flolded flush 
along the axis of the monorail and packed very flat. a bag bellows came with 
it. When I sold it, on getting married, Robert White in Poole, put me 
through a few hoops regarding the movements of the front standard, I gather 
the more you paid, the more you got, mine it turned ot had them all. In 
those days in was one down from a sinar.

Amos
