I finally got everything together for the nice B&J 8x10 field camera I got on here. I got a good deal on a 300 5.6 symmar-S/copal 3 and had a guy at work build me a couple new birch plywood blank lensboards. I drilled and finished a lensboard myself.
Visually tested it out in my living room. My 4 year old daughter was fascinated and of course remarked the image was upside down. She thinks its pretty cool to watch the Olympics upside down on my camera. I told her the picture it makes will be upside down, but we'll flip the finished picture so it will be right side up. She successfully digests that plan.
Then she suggests I could flip the camera upside down to make the picture right.
I had to tell her the picture will still be upside down, sort of always upside down, but it was a good idea just the same. I don't expect a 4 yo to understand that sort of physics yet, but her problem solving skills are getting honed pretty sharp!
