Try Home Depot (or like place) and check out the bathroomdrawer pulls. Another option (not brass) is to turn your own knobs out of the same wood you are using for the camera body. Dan Rhoades www.rhoadescameras.bizland.com- Original Message - From: Greg Sent: July 02, 2001 5:59 PM To:

BTW,the Navy still processes 5" film in rolls from F-14 TARPS, they just use Kodak machines to do the work. Stick the film in one end and when it comes out the other it is done. I used the machinesto develop my own film during my last cruise and they worked great on the B/W I was using as well. It

It's great to have so many front range people building cameras! I thought about raincoat material as well but I couldn't find any in town. The Ultra Suede is too thick IMHO but the Micro Suede was about the half the thickness. It's a little thicker than the raincoat material but has a really nice

I've finally found the perfect stuff to make your own bellows that look nicer than any I've seen (including professionally made). I found a fabric that is light proof and very handsome. It is a polyester microfiber suede that looks and feels just like the real thing but isn't nearly as thick. It
