Home made view camera for 35mm. Working from top-left down: the lens boards slide out of a slot in the forked brace for different mounts, then a home made leather bag bellows seals the connection to the camera. Then I've mounted a Manfrotto quick release mount to an old Melles Griot +-20 degree goniometer for tilting. This model is not in production, I got it used. Below that I need to add a panning base (for now I can adjust the rough mount to the quick release). Then the rest of the bottom is most of an old xyz Narishige micropositioner originally designed for invitro fertilization :-) it's like a microscope focuser with knobs to adjust each direction of movement and goes about 1 to 2 inches in each direction. All that hardware is very heavy brass. The wood tripod mount and lens holder would be neater in metal but wood is so easy to work with and at least lightweight. - Misc-photography-12-18-07-tilt-camera-full-set

I fell behind & this is a mixed bag so the 4 pages of select images here pretty much cover the last couple weeks shooting. Follow the links below each if you really want to explore that set more but you aren't missing much.
