    I'd love to see how it works with a 150 SSXL.

    How about a universal style bellows?

    Me too !

    ... if only they weren't so expensive.

    What's a "universal style bellows" ?

    Lovely.

    I'm thinking of making something similar but in 5x7 horizontal format only as I have a set of rectangular bellows just the right size.

    You get full marks for that design and construction. Wonderful machine.

    IMHO, comments on how to improve the detailing are completely un-necessary.

    Thank you all for the kind words.

    I think any design can be improved, especially mine. The archetypical form of a view camera, front- and rear-standard etc., seems to be a given, unless form really doesn't follow function anymore ...
    The challenge is then, within that boundry, to come up with something new, that is appealing and still functional ... I'm rambling ... :-) ... en bref, comments/critiques are necessary.
