At the end of June I started to design a lightweight 14x17. My current 14x17-20x24 is 32 lbs and I'll be 68 in a few days and it is getting harder to carry this beast. So I decided to build a new 14x17 that with all of the parts I have so far including the bellows is about 21 lbs. I'll have the camera finished in November I think or December at the latest. I have a commission for 40 clamshell Walnut presentation cases that is taking priority. Still I manage to squeeze in some camera building time. This will be my 4th 14x17 and when I'm finished I'll be selling the big 14x17 system complete with a Kondos portage Canoe pack and brass lens. Film and holders I'm keeping as I'll still be shooting the format. I'll sell the camera for a very good price when the time comes.
