The Intrepid Camera
« on: August 21, 2014, 03:14:49 PM »
Yet another new large format camera. On the one hand it's great that someone is investigating building a new LF camera. On the other hand I wonder if it wouldn't be better to just buy a second hand one. After the Duo TLR and the Travelwide I'm not that excited about cameras like this anymore.

there's a sliding box type large format portrait camera in the works for a kickstarter too.
Oh, and a 4*5 developing box. Maybe that's more interesting?

To be honest I think I would rather have one made to my own specs from Sandor: https://m.facebook.com/vadasz.sandor.7

While the laser cut plywood looks interesting in a way, I have doubts about the front standard's stability....

If it was available as a kit, that would be interesting.
Laser cut and drilled parts which one assemble with the provided hardware. Sand and paint or stain to your liking.
