Let's see it!
Mark -- nice photographs.
Well, I wanted something small to tramp around the city with, so I made this little camera around a Horseman GG back, gutted nikon 50mm lens (for the helicoid) and a very nice tiny 65mm super angulon. The camera is works great with both 4x5 Fuji Quickloads or my 120/220 Wista rollfilm holder. It is not nearly as pretty as some of the other cameras in this post, but there is something special about a camera that you make yourself. A camera that actually performs as well (I think...) as something that would cost big bucks (Sinar Handy or Cambo Wide).
Hi all
My lovely Burke & James from Chicago with a Universal Heliar in front of it!
hey britt, that is beuty! (I want such thing!)
Reviving the thread (want to see more beautiful examples). Here are my two girls again. The Palmos now sports a more appropriate Zeiss Ikon 13.5 Cm Dominar Anastigmat on a Compur. The four bolts on the Korona lensboard are part of my modified lensboard that adds swing and tilt to the camera front, without modifying the camera.

Me and my buddy:
Before you ask, I usually do not go trampling around the woods in spandex - I was on a mountain bike excursion (It seems like I always pick the worst times to go; it was snowing all day...). The rest of the pics are here:

It isn't very pretty, but it has done the job admirably for many years.
Thanks,

Maybe not pretty...very handsome and debonair, though (reminder to myself: look up meaning of 'debonair').
This, or perhaps these, has been around for a while. For those who haven't seen it, start here http://www.apug.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17595
One ugly camera, or perhaps two ugly ones. Depending.
