    Re: Lightweight, 8x10, T-frame prototype

    Hi Andrey,

    Very nice camera, and lightweight 3.4Kg !

    I wonder how much weight can you reduce if bellows just only cover half lenght (340mm instead of 680mm), as my longest lens is a G-Claron 305mm.

    Did you make yourself all metal parts (knobs, lens board brackets, ...)?

    Hi Ramon, all the parts in our cameras are made by us. To reduce further my cameras weight, production costs and run term I plan to introduce in my production, vacuum moulding and infusion of carbon fibre composites as well as large format, computer guided milling and small parts unifying. I'm sure that I can bring its weight, if a film cameras, with linhof style lens board is the target, as down as 2.5 kg or even lower, but this will be sometime in the beginning of the next year!
    Thank you for your Interest!
    Full with mission!
