INteresting item for DIY Camera enthusiasts:
« on: January 28, 2012, 10:34:19 AM »
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Foucsing-Lens-Board-Helicoid-Linhof-Wista-Shen-Hao-DIY-Camera-/270823946660?pt=US_Lens_Boards&hash=item3f0e5d79a4#ht_3748wt_986

Looks like a good thing to build a LF set around? Not sure what the focusing range would be for one of these, but I reckon you could build a rigid box around it with a film back holder and GG screen?  Not too expensive either (if you are lucky enough to avoid customs fees).

That is interesting!

I just can't get involved in anything new, I've got so many half finished projects it's embarrassing.  :D

Never seen one of these before, so definitely interesting.

But ... looking at it, gets me thinking how screw-top jar lids might get involved.  I feel a trip round the supermarket may be in order.   :D

Has anyone looked at the other stuff in his shop?
Some pretty tasty treats in there. Like zoom viewfinders and some big point & shoot 4x5 cameras...

Actually, it's not a Toyo... it's just that the camera is built to accept TOYO accessories and parts.
Still, it's pretty amazing stuff.
