It looks like front swing and shift are done with a common control? That is one of the things that irritated me with the first edition of the Intrepid 8x10. It means that with shift applied the swing is (way) off the lens axis. But people use cameras in different ways and it may not be a big issue.


Yours is much cleaner than my first attempt at building a large format camera. Now i know my limitations!

Where did you get your dark cloth focusing hood? I've wanted a yellow one for a while.

It's not just a yellow towel is it?⁷

Thank you very much for your comments.
The main goal in the de design is to be as light as posible, that is the reason of the design in front standard.
It is only the first prototype and I’ve a lot of work to improve it.

Finally got around to cutting some (171mm) boards to take some old Grubb lenses so that they will fit on an Arca F-Line 5"x4". Next is the Copal 3 shutter on another front standard (both of which I have) and last will be a 10" x 8" back if I can ever find one at a less than astronomical price. It all takes time.
