I had used both versions of the Cambo wide for decades, with the longest lens being 90mm. Eventually I wanted to use the 150mm lens on the Cambo Wide DS . Soon, I saw the need for a slight tilt capability. I designed and fabricated this assembly using a lens board for the 58mm Lens and making a hinged panel with adjustment screws and a small bellows. The hinge was scavenged from a Polaroid camera. It was a great modification giving me much greater focus control. I've since acquired a fold up 4x5 and make a lot of use of longer lenses and the Cambo seems to be neglected these days.

I know I'm behind the times - looking at the last thread dates but anyway, here's my own 5x4 monster, made of aluminium with a few stainless steel bits.

I like it. All metal.

Slapped a 5x12in point and shoot together from the foamcore. Basic design is the same as 5x7, made last year. Need to find a way to fix thin aerographic film properly in the holder.



First somewhat successful test:

That's pretty cool, Werra. I bet you'll make a lot of good photos with that nice simple setup. It's a lot like a 4x10 camera I made several years ago in school. It was constructed a lot like yours. It had a very wide lens, though, and had a curved back made of laminated poster board. It included rails that the film would slide under. The camera was a "single shot" and had to be loaded in a darkroom before going out.

Nice work, where do you load the film?

[jodyake]

the trap door on top opens and there is a slot for the film holder

Boa noite.
Hello, I just finished a 4x5 pinhole and I would like (if possible) to have a tip about where I could find a flash Hot shoe so that I could install a leveling bubble. Did you use the "universal" one? What metric screw fits?

Really expert camera you have there!

I bought one of these for my camera project:

but it is the perfect item I'd say.
