That's a very nice build :D

Wow, it looks great! Looking forward to seeing some images made with it :)

Hadn't thought about the option of shooting Medium Format with a roll film holder. Something to consider, for sure, assuming I can find one for this camera. Haven't seen one but will keep an eye out....

I thought about a 4x5 SLR as well for some time, but then I figured I'd like to go a bit bigger --...

Hello there!

I'm looking for a LF camera to be used mainly for portraiture. I'm a fan of ULF, but this time I decided to keep it at 8x10 -- it's a good enough size for what I have in mind and lets...

Guys, so sorry for the late response. I was in the process of moving to a new apartment (with no internet!) and super busy with work...so things got a bit out of control here.

Thank you! :D


Thank you!
