Show us your home made camera...

Indeed not everyone will have 'the sense' of experiencing the 3-D effect...I know since some members of my family are unable to, others did however....

.. if you wear glasses you probably will be hindered too ....(A friend of my took off his glasses and was able to view it, but not with his glasses on)

no, those aren't cross-eye viewable, period. the left eye view is on the left and the right eye view is on the right. if you view them with your eyes crossed, you'll get a jumbled mess of things looking further away than the things they're clearly in front of. you need to keep your eyes uncrossed to view those in proper 3d.

As a start to an 8X10 camera build I converted an Arca Swiss 4X5 camera to 8X10 using a hand built 8X10 "adapter back" I also fitted a second 8X10 "adapter back" to a Sinar P 4X5 Camera, pictures attached with results. Thanks

Couple conversions I've recently completed. The smaller one on the left is a 6x9 w/ a 47mm f/8 in a focus mount. Enjoyed playing with silver accents on this one including taking down the Arca plate to silver with black detail.

The Wirgin conversion has a fixed focus modern 47mm f/5.6 SA with an 18mm Voigtlander finder that is masked down to match the field of view of the camera. This is the third Wirgin conversion that I've built and the first one where I rolled the left side of the Arca plate to match the curve of the camera body. It wasn't sitting flat so I added a shim on the bottom so the camera doesn't sit at an angle when you set it down. Each time I build one, there are little improvements that I realize would be helpful.

As always, extremely impressive work, Dirk!

I would like to see some home made cameras. I have plans to make a LF camera and would like to see your designs. I would like to build 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 P&S cameras.

Ok...
Here is a "Sliding-Box" 4X5 I made a few years ago.

And another "Sliding-Box" = This one is a 8X10...

[James R. Kyle]

I did make a "Total Movement" 4X5 as well as "Sliding-Box" focusing cameras.....

Awesome, James! Those are some really handsome looking cameras! Especially the 4x5 up on that Ries tripod.

Thank you for the complements.

Mainly I just enjoy building most anything that comes to mind.
Usually I do not make drawings or "blueprints". I just build it from what I see in my mind's eye.
During the build, I do take some photos just incase someone would like to make one of their own. I then take the photos and write a [PDF] to distripute to other builders. That would be the "plans" that they would be able to work from.

Thank you again...

James.

I posted a thread about mine a couple of weeks ago, in case you missed it.
