    Arca Swiss 4X5 to 8X10 conversion

    Hi Friends,

    for a long time I have wanted an 8X10 Arca Swiss Camera, but not being a professional photographer price was a stumbling block. So I decided to "blasphemise" and converted my 4X5 B Arca Swiss into an 8X10 with a hand built back. Then I saw that quite a few "surgeons" on this forum were engaging in similar projects and I dared to post the result. The 8X10 has all the movements except rear standard rise/fall, which I compensate at the front standard. Photos and pictures attached. Thanks
