Description
Building a historically-correct bellows camera for plate photography requires a comprehensive guide. This book provides a detailed, step-by-step approach to creating a camera, covering the basic stages of construction, including the base, standards, bellows, plate holder, and inserts. The author also discusses additional aspects such as folding the tailboard, rise and fall, tilt, and swing. The book is designed for experienced woodworkers familiar with traditional joinery, but it also offers modifications and substitutions for those with limited experience. Measurements are listed in millimeters at the bottom of each page, and diagrams are repeated in the rear of the book for reference. With 3D diagrams and color photos, this book helps visualise the process, making it easier to understand and replicate the construction of a 5"x7" camera. The author has also included critical measurements for cameras ranging from half plate to 8x10, making it a valuable resource for photographers and historians alike.
