Excellent!
To darken the inside you might want to try to find self-adhesive black flock paper. Here in the USA some can be found at Hobby Lobby and also at Edmund Scientifics so you could order some to be shipped to you via mail.

Are you talking about the stuff that is like felt? I've seen that at Hobby Lobby, but I always worried about it shedding fibers onto the film.To darken the inside you might want to try to find self-adhesive black flock paper.
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

My camera has new front standard and new focusing mechanism. It works much better now and yesterday I've took it out for a very first time.

Very nice shots with the camera and xray film.
Questions and comments are always welcome
Looks great with the new front standard, knobs, stain, etc.
Great job!
Really like the first still life you posted, too. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing your work.
Good work! Awesome!

Lovely photographs, regardless of the camera! But there's also a satisfaction in making your own tools...
