It worked great on the trip and was strong enough to take the bumps, something the first wasn't able to do.

so anyway, here it is...

thanks...

Built out of an IKEA Bjurön plant pot (now no longer available, pity had a few more ideas using this pot), and a Sinar 4x5 back. Shutter and pinhole mounted internally. Shutter design pilfered from others on the net, a sliding opening sprung loaded, actuated by a locking cable release. 118mm focal length, 0.400mm hole, f304ish. Daytime shots on EI 100 films range from 8-30 seconds depending on reciprocity (sunny 16). Shadow shots from 30 to 200 seconds. Not tried night shots yet ;)
