Frankenstein would be more appropriate. This was my Xmas holiday project that I've only just finished. It's made up from bits and pieces, hence the name.

It's a Schneider Angulon 90mm f6.8 (about 50 years old I think) mounted on a cone and lens board from a Crown Graphic which is attached to a reversed Mamiya bellows lens hood which is screwed to an aluminium plate cut from an old printing easel which is screwed to a wooden body made from bits I had in the garage. Topped off with very hi-tec elastic bands to hold the film holder in place.
Here's my first shot (Fomapan in Aculux)

A few problems with this but I was happy to get anything.
Here's one from today. (Fomapan in RO9)

I think I'm preferring the Fomapan in RO9 rather than Aculux.

Not Frankenstein esque at all !! I think its beautiful...so many talented people on this forum...and wonderful results!
-
To be Frank I think its bloody marvelous! Give me a shout when you want to attack the Ridgeway with our LF's Peter
-
I have to agree with the above...looks great!
nice work.
-
Great work Peter, I'm very impressed. I've been thinking about doing something similar, but I think I need to start with a 5x4 pinhole and work up from there.
-
super stuff - with rubber bands and everything. Just like a home-made cam should look. Great results too.
-
Peter, it is a thing of beauty!
Congratulations to your addition to the family

...........and next week, Peter is going to show us how to make a thermo-nuclear device out of two Fairy Liquid bottles, a used cereal box and two yards of sticky-back plastic....!! :D
That is absolutely fantastic, Peter. I'm sure you could put that into production and sell it. Just brilliant.

Actually, I might show you my home made 5x4 dev tubes complete with light trap, but I'm still refining the design so maybe it'll be a bit longer.

I must admit this is pretty sweet looking... I'm jealous!
As soon as this cold's over, I'll have to clean the workbench and come up with something new...
-
Quality. I salute you!
There's been quite a few cool home made LF creations on here lately. I'll have to post some pics of mine too. It is much uglier than yours.

Very Cool, just needs a Flux Capacitor !
-
and orchids blooming on your windowsill no less!
:)
Good show!
-
I'm completely wowed by your all-around photographic talent, Peter! This is fantastic!
-
Brilliant !! Good results so far - and much more to come, I'll warrant.

That's it. The movment is a bit coarse but it works.

I'm never one to say no to a bit of coarse movement, Peter, but that aside, I too am very impressed by Frank and even more so by his maker. Lovely!
