Steve.
for the bellows, did you only use the material you mentioned, or did you also make some rib structure out of cardboard?
thx.
Yes, there are also ribs in there, cut out of 0.01" thick flexible plastic with 3m transfer tape on both sides.
Depending on the type of filmholder that I use, that bloody M is actually in the way while grabbing the dark slide handle :-/ It's annoying but I still stand by my design :-) ... and it forces me to make my own filmholders.
wow!!!
what a marvelous camera you have made.
wondering about possible production plans for it...and, let's really dream - an 11x14 version.
thank you for showing what's possible...with ingenuity, hard work, skill and especially a vision.
breathe, relax and enjoy.

Hey, thanks for the compliment :-)
I have no plans to make a bunch of these really, but am definitely thinking/dreaming about building a foldable 11x14 version with ~800mm of bellows draw ...
Re: 8x10 Prototype
thank you for your response. i imagine any size production run would be quite an endeavor.
perhaps someday putting together a build-it-yourself set of instructions with dimensions and suggested material choices might be a possibility.
oh don't say anymore about building an 11x14...i would be pestering you about one of those.
(insert emoticon of smiling and drooling and delirious new-to-LF...
again, my compliments and admiration...i have my eyes on a friend's not-yet-in-use 11x14 seneca city view...
breathe, relax and enjoy
laugh more, smile more - i do every time i go by a mirror. :)

That is gorgeous!
You mentioned in your 5x7 write-up I think this was done with CAD files? Is this something where a layperson could get the CAD files and take to a place to select the wood and/or metals to have the parts made and then assemble it at home?
I wouldn't want to give up my source CAD-files, but also finding somebody that would then turn those into a physical object, would be quite difficult.
But then again, it really is just a fancy, light-tight box with a few movable parts ... :-)
