Title: Ondu is at it again!
Post by: Francois on June 22, 2023, 08:02:58 PM

I just got this in my inbox less than a minute ago!
Elvis at Ondu is at it again, but this time he's diving head first into large format with a beautiful field camera!

It's got a massive base extension system, is fully modular, available in many formats. Best of all, it looks as good as the other Ondu projects.

Now, it's not cheap by any means (and more than a tad too expensive for my measly budget), but check it out 😊

Nice looking camera and I like the long base extension.  It is out of my budget, especially since I have a Crown Graphic that serves me well.

They are nice looking and I see he has surpassed the target goal price quickly.
 I like the 4x10 panoramic one but it also way beyond my price range.

Pretty much the same here.
The only thing I miss on the Crown are the movements and lightness of a field camera.

Saw this too. I really like my Ondu pinhole and would love to shoot with this 4x5 but this one is, for me as well, out of budget.
