    Here are Two 8X10 and a 4X5 "Sliding-Box" cameras that I built - These are rather easy to make. A powered table-saw really helps. (Sorry... No"plans" just went and designed them as I built them.) Well! After all a camera is only a box that is light-tight, with a Lens at one end and a film holder at the other.

    Nice! I was thinking of building a similar 8x10 before I decided to splurge on my Agfa-Ansco.

    My first 11x14 camera consisted of sliding boxes...weighed a ton - two tons when added to the Quickset "Gibralter" tripod on which it was mounted! Camera and tripod both gone, so no photos - just memories.

    I posted this in the Show your ULF camera thread, but it should be here, too.

    My Bender 5x7 (originally 4x5) and my 11x14 "folded" into its traveling form.

    The 5x7 uses 15mm rails designed for video camera rigs for focusing.

    On the 11x14, the rail is made up of a 400mm acra swiss place, with two double acra swiss clamps that attach to two 200mm plates. Fully extended, I get ~760mm of rail length, though my bellows can go to 950mm. Full movements for the front and shift and tilt in the back. I made a recessed lensboard for my Angulon 210mm f/6.8. It's deep enough for 165mm and I'm hoping to get a Super-Angulon 165/8 at some point to try.

    @DirkFletcher: Nice camera. Now all you need is a Grafmatic on there.

    Just added This "bad-boy".... No shutter - But I did build a "Front f-Stop "Waterhouse" Slide-In aperture attachment - And in that, I am using Photo Paper as a "film-base". It works very well. Just a lens cap like the photographers of the 19th century did. :-)

    I needed a lighter camera, as I can no more carry heavy bulky 8x10 cameras (I've got a fantastic Sinar 8x10).Click image for larger version.
