HI,
I am still goofing around trying to build a 20x24 camera. From what
I have read that the more movements you can place into the camera the better
off you will be as there are critical focusing and depth of field issues
with a ULF camera.....
I had decided to utilize a entire Toyo 8x10G camera which I feel can
be easily modified to make the 20x24. I simply can not build a precision
camera with the movements and features of a Toyo 8x10 ......
I think all you have to do is to widen the lower plate on the rear
standard and lengthen the two vertical rails by about 6 to 7 inches. The
front standard may have to be lengthened as well... Also the gear assembly
that raises and lowers the rear film back will have to be lowered to
accommodate the larger film back ... A long rail will have to be made for
the camera as well...
Here is the camera I had purchased for the modification.. It has a
different front standard on it than a stock 8x10 G which is OK as I need
the height .....I guess the owner was trying to pull a fast one and is
probably why I was the only bidder........
Any thoughts?
