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.

I'm working on it as fast as I can. I have the plans in my head and started drawing them last week as I sat in the pub. I bought the wood. I need to talk with the bellows people, but I haven't selected anybody for that yet. I have some gears and springs from a friends camera. It will be a 4x5 with limited movements (just the ones I use) and not made to fold up as this limits the ease of use. More as I go.

I made this one about 4 years ago and haven't really used it since initial tryouts. I need to get/make some better pinholes and some kinda viewfinder. The material is 1/2" gatorboard, clothespins, bamboo print tongs, photo black paper tape. Gatorfoam is extremely light, rigid and machinable with a knife. Maybe I'll mess with it this week and post back with my results.
