I call upon the PDML Collective Hive for ideas (and, optionally, LINKS) to fun things to do with 4x5 film holders. I tripped across a box of some, priced too cheaply, at a local antique store and bought the lot intending to sell the majority.
However, I intend to keep 2 or 3 for myself. One obvious project would be to make a pinhole camera. Anyone have a favorite design (or plans) to share? (PS: International Pinhole Photography Day is April 24, 2016) I've also seen some ultrawide (think Hasselblad SWC) cameras built, but those would require the future purchase of a wide lens/shutter combo that is outside my planned expenditures for at least a while. Alternative ideas are also welcomed. I have no 4x5 camera ATTM, but I suppose buying or building one of those from scratch would be another possibility. I do have a 4x5 enlarger and paper up to 20x24 that I'm itching to do SOMETHING with.
