My four year old son has taken a keen interest in the construction of this project, asking me every morning if I've done anything new to the camera the night before (after he'd gone to bed).
Since he's so interested, I decided we'd paint it together. I had to draw the line though when he asked to paint the inside.
I've got at least one light leak I know of, due to shoddy workmanship. It's in the corner of the rear, where it meets the middle section, which makes it harder to fix. The area slides, so I can't just throw putty over it or something like that. I think some felt folded over as a sort of curtain will keep it out.
Not shown, a 'lens board' with a 1/2" hole in it, which will be for a pinhole. Once I've got it tested as a working pinhole camera - a heavily over-built pinhole camera! - I will build a lens or two for it. I've already ordered some lens elements from a surplus optical supply company.
And those finger prints on the front are sawdust from subsequent work on the plate holder, and they brush right off. We're not THAT sloppy. the pink paint on the front however is another story...

these was the same day but the pictures are taken with Kodak Aeroektar 178mm f2.5. This lens was regarded as a common initiative lens of hyper bokeh on 4x5 format, with the speedgraphic. Making a 35mm equivalent f0.68. Different to the 3G4E structure, the AE is a typical double gauss design, the bokeh is still my favourite style. These 3 pic are also with the kodak aerocolor film 2460, an aero with aero photo

He adapted his large-format lenses by lining the mounts with strips of plastic from bottle caps. Ingenuity, you say?

The chairs were my grandparents'. The one on the right was the one my grandfather always sat in..
It is an interesting photo to roam around in the "original size" under the all sizes link. It shows off the 4x5 format well.

Large format T-max 100... but super thin negative that needed quite a bit of help. Usable image? Sure. This was also one of my first large format pictures, I've learned a few things about light meters that I will apply to shoots now.
second test image for a home made large format camera.
