Re: Show us your home made camera...
1. Thanks Emmanuel for that great info.
2. Nana, those cameras are undoubtedly beautiful, well designed, and made. But for ones without mechanical and/or wood working skills - like me - it's better to do it quick or buy one and save time for shooting.
I once bought a Gaoersi 4x5. It's a very good camera for the money but doesn't fit very well together with my Canham 5x7 in the backpack unless I take the lens-lens board assembly off the body. It's a pain putting the lens on and off. Also, the lens is dedicated to that camera until you remove it from the lens board. It's the task not easy to do on the field.
The one I made now allows the lens to be used interchangeably with just a flip and stored flat in my backpack with the lens off.
Re: Show us your home made camera...
I'm always envious of the people with skills to build those cameras. I've long fancied a 4x5, 65mm point and shoot.
There is a guy that sells large format pinhole cameras on ebay. Seems like a good source for a light tight box with a back. Cut out a bit of the front and mount a focusing helical and you'd be done.
I might get around to something like that some day.

I make pictures every day, just pictures that others tell me to make.
A nice change would be to make more pictures that I want to make.
I go green with envy when I see the work of Jim K's hiking trips with Alex, Juri's country sides and so many other's work.....ok back to work on the backlog of Canon digi files. :-(
Re: Show us your home made camera...
I love the Cambo in the first-
that's by far the most sensible approach,
and I might try it with an Arca 171 sometime-
The second is wonderful,
I particularly like the eyelets- though the cone is impressive too.
without seeing the other side though, difficult to know-
Part 2, no.1, that's a beauty-
though it looks like 2x3, but I don't know-
The fourth, nice too, but lacking in shadow detail-
The first of the third looks interesting too-
a camera like that could open some doors for you...
Sorry. Looks great though-
The second also, love the handgrip-
though the actuation of the shutter shouldn't really be on the camera, ideally, no?
The last one is just brilliant, lovely looking-
reckon it would be good handheld too-
There were a couple of cameras posted here by bglick recently
in the 'Updated Graphic - Max. print size for 5 formats ' thread-
which surpassed all of my preconceptions about what 'homemade' meant-
unfortunately, I can't link to the pictures,
because the posts have been deleted by the moderators-
