Wehman 8x10 in Southern Death Valley.
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.

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.
