Show us your home made camera...

[Nana Sousa Dias]

Nana, your wide angle perspective is drawing me in very strongly. I'm just moving my leg to step next to you...

Jiri

Ahahahah!

I think you should move your leg in another direction, Jiri, next to a better photographer than me!

[Nana Sousa Dias]

Thanks Nana-

Yours looks like it's working exceptionally well-
do you find you're bringing it out more as your only camera?

My shutter stopped working, in for repair now...

My english is not very good, I don't know if I understood correctly your question...

Are you asking if I will go out to photograph with just my home made camera?

[jb7]

yes, sorry about that-
just as you interpreted-

I find that I can use the point and shoot much more easily than bring out the bigger ones,
with their support systems...
so it gets used more-

Ok, Joseph...

I'm afraid not, Joseph...unfortunatelly!

I'm afraid I will just add some more weight to my already heavy backpack!!!!!

My work is more concentrated in landscape photography, however, I would like to do much more urban photography so, that's why I made this camera, because I like very much urban images done with an extreme wide angle (this one is a 47mm, 120º view angle).
However, I enjoy a lot the use of this lens in landscape photography so, what I think will happen is that I will carry this one and the Shen Hao, where ever I will go!!!!

When I do urban photography, I always carry a 4x5 camera that allow me to shoot with all movements, so I think I will have a problem!!!

Anyway, this is a "always ready" and fast operating camera, wich is very usefull.

No, not at all, it would be a pleasure for me to watch you in (photographic) action, and to have your comments on mine...

Nana, Great looking camera. Looks like a great use for a 47mm SA.

What is a Cambo Portrait? I can't find any reference to it. Is it one of the passport photo cambos?

Well, I can't tell you exactly wich model is but I think it's one of those with 4 lenses. I've never seen the complete camera. A friend of mine gave that part of the camera, I took off the viewfinder, changed the grip form vertical to horizontal position, and fixed a new back into it. Then I made the plywood plates (wich are just for testing, later, I'll do a better looking woodpiece, when I'm really sure about focusing) to acomodate the lens, then I fixed a new viewfinder wich is one of those that are used on apartment doors (much cheaper than the Gaoersi viewfinder).
