Hi I'm new here and fairly new to large format.
I live in Devon, UK.
To cut my teeth I built a 4x5 box camera with a schneider 150mm lens.
This is set to focus on infinity for landscapes and I'm pleased with the way it works so far.
I want to build a 4x5 with bellows so I have a more versatile camera, and can also use the schneider with the front element removed.
I want to build primarily out of wood, to make a flat bed camera for outdoor work.
I don't fancy making the bellows, but I have seen some for sale, these are listed as -
Sinar standard universal multipurpose bellows 4x5 9x12 for P P2 C X F F2
My question is, would these be suitable for the sort of camera I have in mind?
Can they be attached to to wooden standards without too much hassle?
