I just found this. As a Canham user for years (DLC, MQC, standard wooden 10x8) I'm happy to see this, even if I'm not in the market. Although the weight makes it attractive,
 
My DLC cost £950 a long time ago from Robert White - and that was second hand. The common factor with my Canham is the bellows length, triple extension. At 36 inches, the 10x8 looks very long when fully extended.
 
Looks good, a bit pricey for me and I already have two 5x4's,. I wish them luck though.
 
Interesting, but some of the movements seem to me to be a bit limited
 
~490mm extension in a body that weighs ~1.3kg... That's impressive. That would likely focus a 600mm tele without a top hat board, which would be incredible for mountain photography. There's just something about a wooden camera for me though. I work with PETG a fair bit through work, and I can't say it excites me as a material outside of the purely practical aspects.
