Did some design/build cheating and built the camera around the backs used on my Calumet C-1. So I can go vertical or horizontal, 4x5 or 5x7 with the reducing backs. And old laptop bags are ideal for carrying 8x10 holders in the field.

Sean, what OS/app are you using for your scannercamera? I am moving my netbook to Ubuntu since Xsane isn't available for windows.

Finaly got on the lathe and machined a lens board to fit the Petzval purchased from a member here.
Haven't had the chance to put any film through it yet but I will be on Vancouver Island next week and I will give it a workout then.
Seems to work fine with the sinar shutter. Sinar P2 8x10.

Excelent idea, I bet you could carry the holders inside the camera too, if you made it the right size and put a some lugs in the appropriate places, to prevent them banging against the lens. Probably in a bag to make it easy when you are using the camera. No. Damn you, I have better things to do.

Here are three of my beauty queens .

L to R -

1) 8x10 E & H.T. Anthony Novelette ( 12" B&L RR iris)with 3 holders & brass trimmed case. Thanks to my brother Eddie.

2)5x8 American Optical Co. Front focus Flamming revolving back ( 8" B&L Zeiss series IIIa in B&L shutter) one holders & canvas case

3)6 1/2x8 3/4 Blair Camera Co. 1st version Cincinnati R.B.(10" Anthony landscape lens Nickel wheel stops) 6 plate holders

No. I don't shoot with them but all have perfect bellows & function like new. Would much rather take the chance of dropping my Canhams way before any of my collectibles.
