I don't agree with you at this point, Richard. Everyone knows the Saber's price. They are different market target.Quote:

It's a Linhof style lens board and interchangable.
Its pinholes can be changed to 3 sizes (Diameter).

Does anyone have further experiences with these camera? Especially curious about the 4x5 rangefinder, how usable it is and how durable.
I have just received the 18º camera. I live & work in Shanghai, China & it seems I have purchased the last ever camera that was in stock. I got completely black version with 2 cams (I have sent my 150mm (Xenotar clone) Komura 150mm 3.5 and Xenotar 135mm 3.5 lenses and received the appropriate cams for them!)
Quality of work seems quite good. Range finder spot is contrasty enough, although the baselength seems short & I am not sure how precise it will be in real life usage... but hope to find out some time soon. It's already night here so I will be testing camera tomorrow. Waiting for some more info from Pierre about actual usage... :) but for sure happy to have a "Saber" style camera in 4x5.
Milos, good to hear you got one of these. Post some images of the camera, and of stuff you shoot with it too. Did they indicate they were making more of these? It is an interesting design. I have a Saber so don't need one of these in an immediate sense, but it's nice to know people are still building cool stuff like this.
More cameras are planned also new types. Cosmic Circle 4x5(he told price should be higher than 248 usd and he currently wants it to keep down for promotional reasons) will now have Universal Pinhole-shutter for 18-20mm plates. 80 usd e.g. from skinkfoto(germany), pinhole, zoneplate, Zone sieve. I measured with any cablerelease(pneumatic or not) 1/6 can be reached. tested with photoplug shutter tester. highly advised to get one. there are better shutter testers but within limits its good enough. data cannot be save yet outside app, one must write it down. it is stored but could be lost. must ask franz if there is a workaround to save data, check photoplug dot de. instructions are very precise. not like vrmoto who didnt understand that the graph must be enlarged to see details....a lot of confusions happened. have also measured about 1/6 second when using the grundner shutter. but thats another story. the use of this big 13cm diameter shutter.
Thank you pierre506!
Pierre506 provides a link to the original discussion of the universe circle.
Soon, five years later, we were working to make COSMOS CIRCLE better.
We plan to produce another 40mm short snout and a 55mm long snout. Now, the design has been completed, and the sample has been tested repeatedly, which is exactly what we originally imagined. With these two snouts and our original 70mm standard snout, four different flange focal lengths will be formed, and with our L17310 and L25550 focus plates with different focus ranges, COSMOS CIRCLE can use lenses from 47mm to 180mm.
To realize these two attachments, we plan to do it through KS or IGG crowdfunding. In the crowdfunding, we will provide more preferential universe circle in return, hope to get the support of friends!
Thank you very much!
