DIY 4x5 / 6x12 wideangle p&s camera 0.2

I made some modifications to my 4x5 / 6x12 (multiformat) point and shoot wideangle camera. Still just about 2kg ready to shoot including lens and 6x12 rollfilm back.

The following components were changed / improved:

 

Lens:

I replaced the original lens by a modern f/5.6 65mm lens to get 4x5 coverage.

 

Shutter:

Copal Press #0.

 

Lensboard:

Flat Linhof Technika style #0 lensboard.

 

Camera body:

The depth of the wooden plant pot from the famous Swedish furniture house was adapted to meet the hyperfocal distance of the new lens.

 

Anatomical Grip:

Reinforced by different screws. Use of a Linhof cable release.

 

Viewfinder:

Modified Sea&Sea 20mm finder. The barrel distorsion of the original finder made composing difficult.
