Ongoing design refinements for my lasercut 4x5 build. This will be cut from a single sheet of 6mm material before assembly. The final camera will have a rotating back with embedded DDS/groundglass holder along with full movements on the front standard.
We have a few papers so rare and expensive that most people never see them. But since a customer recently ordered one of our Gold* Fusuma papers, we thought you might enjoy a glimpse of a paper you would otherwise never see.
*It's actually burnished bronze, but no less beautiful for that!
Very mysterious. I took a large format photo class one semester and got a camera to use for the entire semster. Bitchin. Someday I'll scan the work that I shot with it and post it up here.

First time to use 4x5 camera
Front view of the camera.
The 4x5 model allows u to shoot pinhole shots with a normal film holder behind. The box that holds the pinhole camera is also a 6x8 pinhole camera.
Here you can see an unfinished film holder inserted in the back section (on the right, sticking out of the top). In front are the four pieces of the middle section, which slides inside the front and back sections.
On the left is the front, with c-clamps holding the lens-board supports in place as the glue dries.
This camera has a rising front, for perspective control. The front can be raised a couple of inches.
Built from plans in the book 'Primitive Photography' by Alan Greene.

My roommate and I made t-shirts. I'm pretending to look at one of the screens. The quartz studio lights came in handy for burning screens.
Burke & James 5x7 view camera with 4x5 reducing back, 8" f/7.5 Graflex Optar, Polaroid Type 52.
My friend Gi said that judging for my photos I am only in parties and dinners, so here some pics of work.
First I had my wife take a portrait of me (I'm looking through a loupe).
Then I displayed it in the LCD, and shot it through the ground glass of a 4x5 view camera. The exposure of 3.2" was necessary to get a good detail on the LCD, so I had to shoot in complete dark.
BCKG: Q-flash with an umbrella (shoot-through).
View Camera: Q-flash with a 10" grid camera left and a piece of white paper camera right for some detail on the right side.
dSLR: One Vivitar 285, camera right, shooting down. One more 285 attached to the tripod (triggered manually) shooting up for some details on the handles.
The students' photo club has set up an arrangement whereby one can book time at a studio after completing a course. This was one of the photos I snapped during the course, with my Sinar Norma. It's worth looking at the full-resolution file.
It's the first time I have taken a portrait at an aperture smaller than f/8 (the largest on this lens is f/5.6). I seem to recall I took the photo at f/16. I like the results! Pretty sharp, eh?
Fomapan 100, developed 6 or 7 minutes in XTOL with continuous agitation. Scanned as a 16-bit TIF at 3200dpi with an Epson Perfection 1680, and some contrast added in Lightroom.
I need to get better at dusting the film sheets after loading them into the magazine. The dust was a part of the exposure.
