TT Camera and lens

[Tri Tran]

TT DIY Camera and Signature lens.
5x12in and 5.5 x14in American Walnut.
I would like to say thank you for those who have supported me through this journey. It's a huge accomplishment for me to complete my entire Panorama camera line.
I've built them intentionally for my landscape field work applications focusing on a simple, elegant, and user friendly design. I designed the optics to cover all formats from 4x5 to 20x24 starting from 9 in to 30in focal length, and this range is perfect for a wide range of applications.
My TT lens can be mounted on the copal 3 with Linhof lens board; no big brass lenses are necessary for field trips anymore.
The camera is designed with weight reduction in mind and standardized to all my lenses mounted with the Linhof board.
I use my TT lens system (9 focal lens that can be switched using the same barrel) for pictorial purposes, along with my Cooke triple converter when I am out on the field.

As beautiful as they are, I know they will be put to good use in the field and get a few scuffs. Badges of honor

Sure are purdy.

Tri, all these cameras look wonderful! Great job with the videos, too.

I'm curious--would you mind sharing the specs for your 12x20? Max/min bellows and weight, especially, as I have one of my own in process and would love to know how yours compares.

Thanks!
Michael

Thanks Michael.
The bellow length is 30in and it's a bout 1 1/2 in when it collapsed, pleated 1in width . Weighted top 2 1/2 lbs . Hope this helps. TT.

Beautiful Tri. Simple but elegant, and then there is the lens over which I drool.
Congratulations on a great job.

Hi Jim, Hope you are well. Thanks for the compliments. Stay safe and good luck with the trip.

They look well made. Is this something that is commercially available?

Hi Will, this is for my personal use , sorry not for sale yet . I love the Panorama format so I just want to build them dedicated to it. Thanks for your interest.

Nice. But what does "weighted top 2 1/2 lbs" mean?

Thanks,
