....and "1/10th the price of Custom Bellows" and a choice of colours!
An 8x10 prototype was shown on Instagram.
The camera takes Linhof Technika lens boards is that correct? I have one on the way now and I either want to make my own out of wood or have them 3D printed.
Yes that is correct "Technika 4x5 Boards". They also have stated to have their own boards available for sale in the next 2 weeks.
Cool. I found a file for 3D printing I'm going to try that. I can drill the holes for the lens myself. I asked them about their boards but the camera shipped yesterday so it's already on the way. I've got three lenses waiting on it.
nice!.... mine is in the next batch, so i have some time to fit the last pieces of my kit together
Make sure 3D boards can be light tight. I have two for a miniature Crown Graphic that I purchased once that were not. I glued aluminum foil on the back of them and painted it flat black. Haven't gotten around to check them for light tightness yet.
I got Randy at holgamods to beef up and redesign boards for my Bush Pressman and they fit like a glove. He is printing Linhoff boards for me now they are $22.50 each. If you aren't familiar he is a guy that modifys holgas, restores old brownies, prints pinhole cameras, etc. Highly recommended him and he does a lot of neat stuff.
Looking forward to the 8x10. I don't see myself shooting enough of that to justify a more expensive camera and I need something lightweight so this looks perfect. Too bad about the Sinar part but I think I have an SK Grimes Linhof to Sinar plate around here somewhere....
Thanks,
