I bought the Swebo TCS-20. I'm working with the manufacturer of the Swebo to improve the camera so that it works more fluidly. There are some things that need to be changed, namely the rear standard, as it is, has to go, and the camera adapter on the bellows needs an extension. There are about 15-20 other things that are minor, but they all matter in the final tally. A friend who tried the Swebo with his 50R found that he couldn't get the camera in portrait orientation. It works fine with my 50 SII, and I imagine, with a 100S. So these are the things that need fixing.
The kit, as it is now, is the Swebo camera with a GFX adapter and a Pentax 645 lens board.
My main lens is the Pentax 645 35/3.5, along with a 45-85/4.5 and a Pentax 67 105/2.4. The adapter board for the P67 lens is on the way.
The next Swebo, I hope, will function more like a Cambo Actus. I'd like to keep it simple in operation and design. This will probably drive up the price, but it won't be as expensive as a GFX Actus. So the current Swebo is a pretty good value, considering how well the geared movements work and how stable the body is.
