Next in a long line of "Cameras I Will One Day Sell" is my first wood camera, the venerable Kodak 2D.
I've always had an aversion to wood cameras, even the best-made ones, like Lotus or Chamonix.
Not a knock on the companies or manufacturing, just my preference for cameras that can handle all of nature's elements and provide a good/high degree of precision.
The 2D is not my first, or fifth, choice for a camera, but these days I'm just happy to have an 8x10 back in the house after a 2-year layoff.
I'm liking the simplicity and fact that I can make most replacement parts myself, if needed.
Just finished fixing it up, and now shooting some film to test lightproof-icity.
