I have just a dry run, and so far so good. The push-pull focusing system still needs a couple of small wheels and fine tuning.  |

Col, it's looking more and more splendid with each photo. It's good to see it develop - much better than just getting a couple of pictures of the finished thing.
Dave.

Col, excellent. I've seen the results. The next thing is to try that rise and fall perspective control mechanism on some skyscrapers!

Nice stuff Colin. You have the making of bellows & cameras down pat now. I think the thing that really impresses me is that its mostly from recycled materials.
3 thumbs up from me.

Colin
Sorry I missed your completed project post being on holiday at the time. I can't add any more superlatives and can only agree that it is even more impressive considering the recycled content. My hat is off to you. It would be great if you could post some results take with your project.
Bob
