    Yeah I saw that too along with a few other ones. Just a hair away from it being in my price range. DarinWC has been kind enough to send me the cells of a 210mm calumet, I will need to find a shutter for them but it is in the right direction.

    I really appreciate all the help and suggestions, I can't wait to get started.

    Sorry you lost me, which post are you referring to when you say "he is right" there were a few people talking about pin hole methods.

    Thanks

    I have a couple things i could send you for copal 1 size.

    calumet caltar 210mm f5.6 with a chip in the rear cell. I masked off the chip and it actually works well like this. The front cell is undamaged and you can use just the single element as well.

    tominon 127mm f4.7 elements. excellent lenses.

    I dont have a spare shutter but I think I can send you a size 1 barrel. You will have to figure out the f-stops and use a hat or crafted lens cap for timing.

    do you need a film holder?

    let me know.

    BIG PROPS to Darin! He sent me these cells and I got to use them for the first time this past weekend. I put them in a Prontor press shutter that I bought for parts. I opened it up (scary and interesting) and cleaned it, put a spot of lube on the timing mechanism and everything seemed to work well. I posted a couple of the pics in my gallery, the second one was taken at 1s and looks like it worked pretty good.

    Anyway, Thanks to Darin (sent PM) This place is awesome!
