Its solid Tech! You won't see to much digital stuff working in 20+ years.
You reminded me that I need to rearrange to use the full height of the Durst. The high bench it is on now limits print size. I am still not happy with the layout, and may go for the traditional wet...
Ok I'll stick my neck out and show my darkroom in development. The room is in transformation from an electronics/ motorcycle /RC plane hobby room into an analog darkroom and digital work station. ...
I have had similar thoughts. What about a black plastic container with arms from a changing bag glued in?
something like this? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70292364/
The good thing about 3d is that you can print snap together parts, if the holder is too big to be printed all at once
At last I found some reasonable pictures of how the camera back works. The russian FDK camera is similar to mine. Though construction quality is worse.
But I can not make out how the film holder...
Thanks, will do
You mean to expand the back to expose 8x10 ?
235mm in each direction

Sorry i got of at an angle on this thread. As you see from my post count I am a large format noob.
I have found plenty of pictures of 18x24cm cameras, but very little about the camera backs...
Thanks for the data Randy
Oh, its 18x24 cm, sorry.
Randy. I am tempted to search for another back, but it is kind of fun to build one. What I need is the dimentions of a cross section. I have found some mention that there was close to a standard on...
Tracy, That would work for some of them. But all the screws arent vertical, and hence the heads are filed down at angles. I dont think there is any option but to sort the screws into their original...
I just finished the first job.
The hinges for the bottom board had bent, making it difficult to crank out the rear standard, as a result a part of the rear standard guide has come off and the brass...
I recently bought a Sperling 18x24 travel camera from approx. 1950. But it does not have a back, so I am preparing to build one. I have access to a woodworking and metal workshop, so no problems as...
Oh, and is it easy to adapt 8x10 film for shooting in 18x24?
Thanks for the thread djdister, that was the one thread I have found.
I think I can manage the woodwork as long as i find out how the back is built up.

Thank you!
I guess this is my winter project this year.
I have done a search, but it only turned up one forum post from '09
I have PMed him for tips.
Hi I am Trond from Norway, and today I bought a Sperling 18x24 from a furniture uppholstry shop. Its not 8x10 or a more reasonable 4x5. It is not a well known brand with lots of support. It has no...
