Finished the camera yesterday.







I fitted a cheap Helix fresnel which makes focussing much easier. it's photographed with a 1913 120mm Dagor, I wom't thake this lens as it needs a pneumatic release rather than a cable.

I'm taking a 90mm WA Raptar, a 135mm CAltar (Symmar S) and a late version US 203mm f7.7 Ektar in a Compur #1 - this will focus to about 6ft.

The bellows are temporary and the old ones from Neil's Speed Graphic (which I serviced and attached new bellows). They'd been patched I recoved them, I'll make a new set whem I return to the UK.

Ian, that looks a really nice camera and congratulations on the successful build. Also good to see the old belows from my Speed being put to good use! You will enjoy using the camera in Canada I'm sure and bring back some great images for us to see.

Neil.
