Show off your Large Format camera!

Actually the company is no longer ... But the guy who designed them is still in business and will put one together for you... These were before the kickstarter company that's making a field camera

So, the kickstarter 4x5 is separate and still alive?

You have a secondary knob.

Nicest thing anyone has said to me all week.

Yes, there is a focus lock, and the secondary knobs on the front standard seem to let the grip be loosened just enough to add some tilt without losing the rise/fall. I'm not sure what you are referring to as additional metal on the front standard. My serial number is 083, lower than yours despite having just shipped from the factory last week.

Weird,

I was also just looking at pictures of the Chamonix 8x10 and I noticed that the older walnut colored cameras also had the features yours did, so now it's really confusing to me because the dark walnut colored ones are the original model before they made the upgrades.

I've bothered Hugo so much these days that I don't want to bug him for something that is essentially irrelevant to me currently because it's not going to change anything, but it is really strange and trying to figure out what's going on here.

How easy was it to put together? Assuming someone with good instruction reading skills, but not woodworking experience, that is. And their site says it's undergoing maintenance and doesn't show the prices or allow purchase right now.

It's very easy... I just had two alligator clamps.. And extra strength wood glue and a screwdriver... Pictures in the directions and everything... Email custom bellows guy for pricing and info... You can email the email on the bulldog camera website, you'll get an error but then he'll respond to u

This is french style tailboard camera for 13x18cm. I don't think it is a later "eastern block" camera, but from France around 1900. You can see where the 2 sets of brass fitments were mounted on a horizontal/vertical side. Do a search for reisekamera or chambre de voyages and you will find similar (complete!) cameras.
