Hi, I've just subscribed to this list.
I am a little way into making a 6x9 or 6x12 camera using a Schneider Super Angulon 47mm f/5.6 lens which is currently in a Linhof board. I am aware of the work of Claudio Bottari, and of Bob Hutchinson. It looks as though finance will, for the moment at least, stall going the PaqPro way, and I will in the interim at least make a wooden camera. Claudio Bottari seems to just stop his lens down to get depth of field, but I have been wondering just how much lens extension is required to focus down to 3 feet? >From previous postings to this group, it looks as though it might be 0.1958 inch = 4.973mm. I've also just realised that an "opposing-sliding-wedges system" between lens and body could provide the desired movement without the need to construct a helicoid mount that maintained lens top at top. Anyone care to comment?
