    Why doesn't everyone have one of these...

    My baby arrived. Very nicely made, and very inexpensive all considered! Post a picture of yours!

    Well, I know I should have one. Don't they need paying for somehow? Or can I get my Doctor to prescribe one?

    Badger Graphics is virtually giving them away! $1295 including lens, double darks, shutter cord. The quality of construction really blew me away.. I assumed because it was inexpensive it would be cheap!

    In this case I did, since they insured it and the value was stuck on the outside of the box!!! Oh well.. it was only A$280. So I had the whole thing landed for like A$2500, with a 210mm Sironar-S.. compared to prices here.. I got the lens for a good price with the camera for free!

    Daniel.

    I've had one of those since 1985. I now use it as a variable focal length pinhole camera, since I now use an Arca-Swiss for 4x5 work.

    Here's the Apo II Pinhole/Zone Plate Shutter I bought, if you are interested (scroll down to find it on this page): http://www.pinholeresource.com/agora...roduct=Cameras

    Good luck with your camera.

    I hope you'll add an 8x10 camera soon.
    When I grow up, I want to be a photographer.

    All right, here's two of mine. Not the same design - at all!

    Speed graphic, with iris lens board and a Perken Rayment Son "Optimus Portable 5x4" wide-angle lens.


    The Carbon Infinity, with a 150mm Voigtländer Apo-Lanthar for the occasion.

    Soeren, given the current US exchange rate.. surely it would only translate to about 8 Euro's or something

    Daniel.

    BTW : On the screen.. how do I know what 4x5 covers? Is it one square in?
