4x5 Field Camera In Progress
Spring back. Finish applied to part of it so I could install light seals around perimeter of the well where the film holder sits. I designed this back to fit regular 4x5 film holders as well as roll film and Polaroid pack film holders (thus the bail and really long spring ends). The little shackles that connect the ground glass holder to the leaf springs took a lot of trial and error to make! I devised a way to bend brass strips into the correct shape and then soldered brass rod into them. Works fairly well!
