    8x10 point and shoot

    Finishing up another Covid camera, this one a point and shoot 8x10 point and shoot using a 210mm f/5.6 Fujinon L. This camera uses a Deardorff 8x10 back, has two Arca Swiss plates, one for for horizontal, one for vertical tripod shooting with a removable handgrip that is a modded Redrock Micro handle that mounts to the vertical plate for handheld use. The finder is a Koni Omega and the rangefinder is a Telex rangefinder. Second set of test sheets are at the lab.

    Very nice. What do you use for the cone? I thought the Fujinon-L was a Tessar - does it cover 8x10?

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    Very good!

    I like the grip design, a simple solution I will copy

    I prefer to keep a back removable and rotate it

    I imagine a 5X7

    endless possibilities!

    Stainless kitchen bowl with truck bed liner spray on the back and epoxy paint on the front.

    Hey Steve, it does cover quite well. I had one years ago on an Arca Swiss 8x10 and it was tight on movements but in this configuration it’s perfect!

    Oh, jzsf*k, Dirk, that’s just awesome.

    Does the back remove? If it does, you can use splitters to shoot 5x8 and 4x10....
