4X5 rangefinder from China

[koh303]

A while back there was someone on Ebay selling a folding 4X5 camera, a-la chamonix saber, with a coupled rangefinder, made in China.
Does someone have a link, or know who/what this was?

To quote the Chamonix website,
"Important note: Saber camera has run out of stock and there is no plan to make more."

koh303 isn't asking about the Chamonix Saber. There was a Chinese seller offering another 4x5 RF that was built on a Polaroid base. I had seen it as well but did not save the details.

I found it. Called 18 degrees. Still for sale on Ebay, though customization and sturdienss do not exactly appear to be perfect yet. It is also not clear if they will cut cams which are universal per focal length or if you would need to send in a lens for matching.

Can't find "18 Degrees" on e-Bay (but that could be operator error)


Related to OP:

What ever happened to the "Byron" Polaroid conversion?

It looks like they also sell a 4x5 pinhole model and a 4x5 fixed-focal length model at 58 degrees, basically a wanderlust clone.

Interesting stuff.

It is an interesting camera, would be cool to hear more about these if/when someone here gets one.

Its 18°.
or 3d-krpc on ebay. is this the same?
2. he confused FL values and fstops. compare these with

i already informed them.
highly interesting pinholes with shutter/cable-release. e.g. prontor-press-range is from 2-32 secs.
now its highest time someone will produce removable shift-plates. pinholes, zone-plates and zone-sieves ala skinkphoto but with shifted positions. e.g. a simple one only up. by rotating cam one will get shift downwards.
