Hi Wayde, I had a couple of questions on the camera that you built...
Do you remember what type of Cordura that you used? Did you use it for both inside and outside .....Is your bellows very stiff? how deep were the folds ?/How does it collapse and what did you use for stiffners... Below is a list from the Cordura web site. I would imagine that some of the cordura is a little to bulky for camera use... the CORDURA� Plus 160-68-T440 looks like their lightest , but it is a blend . You can see all the descriptions on their web site... Evidently you can get samples... Thanks, John Cremati.
