The camera is works great with both 4x5 Fuji Quickloads or my 120/220 Wista rollfilm holder. It is not nearly as pretty as some of the other cameras in this post, but there is something special about a camera that you make yourself. A camera that actually performs as well (I think...) as something that would cost big bucks (Sinar Handy or Cambo Wide).
Hi all
My lovely Burke & James from Chicago with a Universal Heliar in front of it!
hey britt, that is beuty! (I want such thing! :))
Reviving the thread (want to see more beautiful examples). Here are my two girls again. The Palmos now sports a more appropriate Zeiss Ikon 13.5 Cm Dominar Anastigmat on a Compur. The four bolts on the Korona lensboard are part of my modified lensboard that adds swing and tilt to the camera front, without modifying the camera.

Before you ask, I usually do not go trampling around the woods in spandex - I was on a mountain bike excursion (It seems like I always pick the worst times to go; it was snowing all day...). The rest of the pics are here:

It isn't very pretty, but it has done the job admirably for many years.
Maybe not pretty...very handsome and debonair, though (reminder to myself: look up meaning of 'debonair').
This, or perhaps these, has been around for a while. For those who haven't seen it, start here http://www.apug.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17595
One ugly camera, or perhaps two ugly ones. Depending.
