Building a Camera - Pt. 2 - Finished

This is part 2 (and the final part) of constructing this 20x20" ultra large format field camera. The video takes you through building the body of the camera, which consists of the front standard (where the lens goes), and the rear standard (where the viewfinder and film back go). It also goes through building and attaching the lenses, attaching the bellows, and finally setting the camera up on the custom hydraulic scissor table lift I modified to work with this camera.
Follow me on Instagram @themobiledarkroom OR @shanearsenault to see the work that is made with the camera and to stay up to date with future projects.
Last song of this video was made by Funk Velvet - listen to their new album Dine & Dash @ funkvelvet.bandcamp.com/releases.
Thanks!

[@suvorovcustom]

Hello. Beautiful work ! What kind of wood did you use for this camera?

[@AlpineCreativeCompany]

We made the camera using Walnut and accents of maple. Thanks for asking!

[@ikomangarysaputra9376]

[@loncle.bonkle]

insane! What sort of lens is that?

[@AlpineCreativeCompany]

19.5 Kodak Anastigmat

[@phillip2446]

how did you make the bellows?

[@AlpineCreativeCompany]

Hey Philip, thanks for commenting. I outsourced the bellows to a gentleman in Europe. He did an ok job of them, but I've seen better custom jobs elsewhere. I did try my hand at making them myself but found it to be a bit out of my league. Take care!

[@miketiong8441]

Why so big ?

[@meljenkins1016]

OK, so now take a 20 x 20 negative and take a shot of something for our viewers.
