Is that a Helios viefinder?Originally Posted by Sandeha

I've posted photos of my homemade handheld 4X5(s) on Flickr.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bojove/ Each was made for my own use, and then new ideas would generate a design changes for more convenience. Initiating a new generation, there have been three so far. My main objective was to make a lightweight handheld 4x5. I was a Leica user for years, and want a large format camera that would bring me as close as possible to that usability. Equally important was design, strength, and reliability. The lenses that I used were Super Angulons 65mm, 75mm, and 90mm all in helical focusing mounts. I have been experimenting with a wider 47mm, but currently it seems a bit too wide for me. I do think I have finally arrived at a design that I am very pleased with. Hope You Enjoy, B~
They are fairly generic, I think. This one is marked Taron and came with some misty auxiliary lenses.
I love this thread. Lots of inspirational material here. I'm making a camera to. Actually it's a large format digital camera. Combining camera technology with a flatbed scanner.

Flatbed scanner camera:
It's got a 8cm magnifying glass for lens, DIY mechanical iris, ground glass is a picture frame glass with a sheet of milky white paper on it. In it's crude form it works. Not picture perfect, but it's a start.

Looks pretty far out; the real question is what kind of photos does it take?Flatbed scanner camera:
