    Don't think the Bulldogs are available any more. Try DIYcamera kit or Rament Kirby.
    Kirby's site has plans at least.

    That's kind of a provocative statement, how about some details?

    Sorry, I had read the BD went defunct.


    If you read it on the internet it must be true.

    Bulldog cameras are alive and well.

    I've just built my Bulldog 8x10 purchased in September 2011 from Pinhole Solutions - Tel/Fax 0121 434 3321, P & L Solutions, PO Box 9327, Birmingham, B17 8NY, UK.

    I have no connection with this company btw.

    I telephoned Custom Bellows for advice and found I was speaking to the chap who had designed the camera. He was very helpful and down to earth.

    Building the camera was straightforward and it was very satisfying to end up with a rigid, fairly lightweight field camera.

    I've awaiting delivery of a Wray 12" f10 Lustrar, mounting ring and Sinar lens board so look forward to making some images with the Big Bulldog.

    Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on building your Bulldog camera! 8x10 is a fun format, and it looks like you're off to a good start. Please post some pictures when you can!

    No tilts?

    Why not refinish an older classic 8x10 with more capabilities and potential?
