    Likewise...would love to see that 11x14 in action! Very intrigued by the front standard...am finding the front standard base a bit confusing in the photo - but looks like stored/collapsed components.

    Nice idea also to covert that Bender to a 5x7! Sturdy enough?

    Sadly, at the moment, I'm separated from my view cameras visiting and helping a family member after surgery (recovery is going well!), so no pictures are possible. All I have with me is my Hasselblad at the moment.

    The rail is attached to the front for storage, Everything is Arca Swiss style plates and clamps with a panoramic clamp in the front. One 400mm rail with two 200mm rails between the 200mm rail and each standard that can slide and extend as needed. I can go from 240mm bellows extension to about 760mm extension. The bellows can extend total to about 900, but I don't have a rail for that ATM.

    The 5x7 Bender's main weakness is locking down the movements. They're never quite there. The rest is great. I swapped out the Bender's square rail for 15mm tubes & clamps used by videographers for building out their camera rigs. They're all threaded, so I can add on as much extra rail as I need or keep it small & compact.

    Here is my HF3535 (35x35 inch) with 1780 Nikkor lens. The plan is to use this gear for a major cross Canada wet plate project.Click image for larger version.

    Re: Show off your ULF camera

    I rescued some junk from the Graphic Arts darkroom at a previous employer. I brought home (since traded) a couple Rodagon process lenses. The short one was as I remember (in inches) a 60 inch lens. As my 11x14 camera had at maximum, 5 feet bellows extension, I got rid of the lenses. I brought home some film that was 3x4 feet. Camera was huge, my guess late 70's early 80's.
    I have a friend with a 16x20 process camera. I've always wanted to build it into the back of a van. Vacuum back.

    35x35 makes that the biggest Instamatic of all times!

    Fantastic

    Go Mammoth!

    I am using the same adjustable table as you for my 14X17, looks like you need the longer version!

    Could people share their 20x24 camera set ups? I am almost ready to buy one. Anyone using Chamonix?

    L. & A. Boulade Frères chambre de voyage, 27×33 cm (roughly 10 1/2 × 13") after renovation. Noname lens, perhaps not original, about 600mm f/11. The other camera is Cambo SC-4 (8×10").
