INTREPID CAMERA 4X5 Gen 2 Users & Reviews

I got Randy at holgamods to beef up and redesign boards for my Bush Pressman and they fit like a glove. He is printing Linhoff boards for me now they are $22.50 each. If you aren't familiar he is a guy that modifys holgas, restores old brownies, prints pinhole cameras, etc. Highly recommended him and he does a lot of neat stuff.

That is good to know since "my other camera" is a Busch Pressman.

Message him. The Bush Pressman boards he made for me worked great. I think his email is randy@holgamods.com

Hi im new to LF and was wondering if the Intrepid would be a good starter camera?

Ordered my Intrepid camera last week. I'll post a review when I receive it for anyone interested or curious if it is worth it.

Richard Pickup has posted a thoughtful and interesting review on his blog

The blog itself is well worth checking out even if you are not fussed about reading the review

Another vote for selling parts to the do it yourself/restoration crowd, bellows and knobs and rack and pinion parts. Also, as a Sinar shutter owner with some DB lenses compatibility with that in a light field camera would be compelling in 8x10.

Still haven't had much chance to use mine. I am quite happy with it though. It's amazingly light and packs down very well. For anyone going hiking with a 4x5 this is perfect. Not so sure how long it will be before the elastic bands that hold the back on will wear out but I imagine it won't be all that long. I'll post some more when I get it out and put it to use.

Hello, we use a marine grade of shock cord for the back designed to last out on a boat so I don't think you should have any problems with it wearing out anytime soon, if you do though, its easy to replace and we will always be happy to do that for you for free or show you how.

Thanks! I imagine it won't be that hard to fix. I can see where you rotate the back halfway and can access the knot.

Anyone had light leak issues out of the box? Read it very little, but wondering what sort of triage I should plan on doing upon arrival.
