    Nice bag Pali and of course nice camera.

    I think I better make sure my 11x14 fits in there!

    Thanks, I needed a constraint.

    I added the bag to my B&H wish list...

    Wonderful Randy! I am sure you'll like the bag when your camera is ready

    I absolutely love using this camera and still can't believe that I pulled it off. After months of use, I am amazed about how smooth the movements are and how well it locks in place. Here is my selfie with the camera!

    Hi Pali,

    Your camera looks amazing! I remember seeing this on a blog post somewhere before, but it's really awesome to read this thread and the making of.

    I made a simple 8x10 about a year and a half ago and now I'm starting to build a 24x24. My first ULF camera. I'm wondering if you could share some pointers as I build it out? One of the first questions I have it how did you attach the bellows to the front and rear standard and is it removable?

    Cheers,

    Ross

    Thank you Ross!

    Yes, the bellows are removable. They were glued on to thin frames that were screwed onto the front and back standards. I will try to look for my pictures and see if I have any that show details of how I did this. BTW, your 8x10 and the wet plate photos are stunning!

    I've got one of the Gator bags for both my V11 and my V8's. I can fil the camera, dark cloth, and a lens and meter. They're great for the price. L

    Thanks Pali!

    I think I'm going to get the bellows made this time, it was insane making one last time and that was only for a 8x10. I heard custom custombellows.co.uk do a good job. I'm going to see if they can add plates to the end to make life easier in terms of attaching/detaching it. If you can post any photos, that would be great!

    I also want to say thank you to not only you Pali but the others who have commented on this thread—it's an amazing resource of great information for making cameras 🙏

    Noticed that I didn't post some of the newer photos made with this camera. Here are two additional flower photos shot on this camera. I really need to use this camera more than just once or twice a year.
