Hey everyone. I had some fun on Labour Day and put together a really basic box camera so I could use a 65mm angulon lens (I didn't want to find a super recessed mounting board for my bender 4x5, and this seemed like a fun project.) Wanted to keep things light and chipper, this has been a fun, silly project.
Here are some photos of it - I didn't do any math to figure out correct depth, so I keep shortening it to be able to focus further away. When I get to my cabin, I'll be able to do a proper shortening with my table saw. Good fun! I'll have to make a proper box at some point, break out my finger joint jig.
1st photo taken with it
Shortened the box, 2nd photo. Some light leaks from the midday sun, something to sort out in time
4th photo, more shortening since, at the limits of what I can do with my dull hand saw
