Pix of your home-built cams here please

That is one beautiful camera! The bellows are incredible - did you make them yourself? If so, what materials did you use?
Thanks,
Nathan

Let's stop talking pinholes over here and have a look at a camera with a real lens...

Very very nice work. I am assuming the metalwork is anodized aluminum. Did you do the anodizing yourself?

Nathan,

I did not make the bellows, please read above.

Barry,

the metal is spray painted aluminium. I'm not into anodizing yet.
The paint will get damaged overtime, I'm aware of that.

Next thing to do is adapt the 7x17 to use the same base as this 8x10. The base and front standard will become interchangeable between both cameras.

Greetings,

Man, what a nice looking camera...If I understand correctly, you made it all except the bellows? WOW!!

Will be following the adapter progress with interest, would be nice feature.

Must keep an eye out for a cheap bellows now.

G, that is one nice camera! Man if I could only work as fast as you! Finally getting the back of the 8x20 done. To many other distractions to get in the way. You know the paying job, girlfriend, etc, etc. What inspiration!! Thasnks.

Well Argus that Cambara 810 is the most impressive camera in this thread, it's outstanding.

Thanks for the compliment but I do not agree.
I was personally blown away by Colin Grahams' camera, shown in this thread a while ago.
