Re: [Cameramakers] blue wide angle 4x5
The blue point and shoot ? Yeah, that was me, I've still got it. A gentleman from Arizona made a version out of mesquite wood with the focussing metal work hidden inside the body. It looked very nice. Apologies in general for neglecting my website for so long. julian http://job.webstar.nl/ http://members.ams.chello.nl/j.o.bell/ - Original Message - From: Gene Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 4:38 AM Subject: [Cameramakers] blue wide angle 4x5 Hello all, There was a guy, in Holland maybe, who built a really cool 4x5 with a wide angle lens, and a cam focuser. It was painted blue I think. I can't find the website anymore. Does anyone remember that camera?

[Cameramakers] front element focus
I've heard somewhere that a front element focusing len's optimal position would be the hyperfocal distance setting when used on a moveable lens plank. julianhttp://job.webstar.nl/http://members.ams.chello.nl/j.o.bell/
Re: [Cameramakers] camera making research
An interesting idea. I understand that in the beginning years of photography, if one could find a lens, building ones own camera was a reasonable possibility. Jacob Olie (1834-1905) who photographed Amsterdam around the turn of the century, at an exhibition of his photographs, I saw the two cameras that he made and used. He first got the lens and then made the camera. The lens was apparently expensive and not one of the best. Later he could afford a better lense and made a second camera for that. They were of the sliding box in box type. Not too hard to make and maybe not so an unusual idea for some photographers in those days. julian http://job.webstar.nl/ - Original Message - From: Jake S. Boen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 11:59 PM Subject: [Cameramakers] camera making research I'm thinking of applying for a fellowship of which I would research camera making and its role in the education of photography. Maybe you guys can help me out by answering a few questions that will help me jump into the subject so I can see if my proposal would be worth while. What are the names of famous photographers who made their own cameras and used them on a somewhat daily basis? I know Ansel Adams made a camera/enlarger. What book has information on this? Do you know of any photography institutions who teach camera making in their curriculum besides pinholes? Do you think that students are missing out by not building their own cameras? Additional comments would be helpful. The end product would hopefully demonstrate the need for institutions to teach the subject matter and to present a design of a simple monorail camera that anyone can make, use, and learn basic LF principles.

[Cameramakers] Re: New camera
Tim, it's beautiful ! What more can one say ? I realy like the wood finish and am curious about the lens turret light trap and the internal focussing levers. You must have some double panels there. It looks light as well, what does it weigh ready to go ? Is it as heavy as a hassy ? It's really nice to see the whole thing (idea) from someone else's viewpoint and your craftmanship is a much higher order than mine. The scan doesn't seem too bad either. It's a really beautiful camera, enjoy using it. julian http://job.webstar.nl/ ___ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers
