Excellent. I'm going to make something similar for 5x4 using the lens and focus mechanism from my 6x12 camera (link below).

A segunda sim, é forrada, mantive os movimentos originais. A primeira não tinha movimentos e era toda de madeira.
Numa está a rodenstock 75mm que já não tenho, noutra uma rodenstock 65mm.

I made a 6x17 for a friend with the front of this Linhof. It's not a good looking camera but it's versatile. It can focus and use more than one lens.

Can someone tell me more about this camera? I have the same rear standard and this would be a perfect camera to base my build off of. What kind of lens is this?

Thanks! pardon my lack of knowledge but what kind of lens board is on here, and the ring with the numbers behind the lens?

The lensboard is a Linhof type, fixed to a Cambo special lensboard, to adapt Linhof lensboards. Many 5x7 and bigger formats use that kind of lensboards, so that you can use lens mounted to Linhof lensboards without the need to disasemble the lenses from the lensboards.

The ring is a helicoidal focusing ring.
