"Classic" Camera 1999 - Present { 14 images } Created 18 Sep 2020
“Classic” 4”x5” film camera.
This camera was my fourth camera and another experiment into the properties of pinhole photography.
I wanted a pretty, all purpose 4”x5” Camera, so I made the Classic Camera.
I started with the fancy steel on the sides of the camera. I found the steel in a field in Washington State many years ago, and stored it away knowing it would find its way into some project in the future. I machined the body of the camera blocks of 6061 T-6 forged aircraft aluminum. The front aperture plate features a quick change aperture system and the plate can be flipped around to change the camera from 3” focal length to 1” for super mega wide angle shots.
