P&S 4x5, ready for light leak test.
The basics are.
1. 4x5 Pinhole camera from Ebay. I bought just the body parts & the ground glass - $130 shipped ($99.95 + $30 shipping)
I asked for just the body & ground glass, no view finder (was for 65mm), no pinhole/shutter or lensboard. Hence the lower price
I had to pay full & the seller refunded the difference

2. A helicoid w/7mm travel (says 9) on a Linhoff lens board. Also from Ebay, $131.99

3. Fabricated spacer to accomodate 90mm lens
I had to add about 3/8" (10mm) worth of spacer.
This was fab'd out of ABS sheet with the 3 1/4" hole cut by the supplier
The body as delivered was "sized" for a 60-65mm lens.
They could make a different body piece for a 90mm & I am lobbying them to consider it.
It was a drill/dremel & router project with some ABS cement.
The spacer is removable.
It weights 2Lb, 5 oz with lens & film holder.
Have done focus test & works down to about 6.5ft. If I redo spacer, will add 1-2mm
I have done basic light leak tests & hopefull with film in the next few weeks.
I think the inside "matte" finish enough but will try some reflections tests
