Is this the one that used the Omega parts? It looks like a very nice
camera!
I do have a question about your focusing mechanism. I also have been
thinking about using threaded rod for focusing rather than the usual rack
and pinion gearing. What wasn't clear to me in your images was if your
focusing mechanism was adjusting the front or rear standard? I'll have to
go back and look at the images again when I've got more time.
Anyone building really big cameras, say something like a 20x24
incher? Would a focusing mechanism like this be useful since it could
allow you to focus the camera while watching the ground glass. What about
stepper motors? Then again I've never used a camera that big so maybe
this isn't an issue?
