Making my view camera

Once again, very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing. Years ago I was seriously looking into the bender kits, but never acted on it. I have an Omega 4x5, but there's something about an all wood field camera that can't be found on a "modern" view. I also have a 2x3 Graphic that I considered converting into a mini view which I thought would be different. Well, this was all back in the glory days of film photography.

Thanks Rick

Haven't any Graphic gear.. do have a 5x4 MPP has a bit of history about it was used by the head photographer at the Albany Advertiser( Ed Smidt). Was use when he photographed the last whale hunt out of Albany in 1978.

Awesome. Does it have shift? Looks like dome mechanism down there but I can't quite make it out. Or do you shift with front plus back swings?

I just stumbled upon this thread (sorry for the thread necromancing). This is one of the coolest projects I've seen in quite a while. Awesome job, awesome result.
