There is a DIY forum on APUG, you might get more info there. Did you start working on the camera?

Slight Hijack, but does anyone know where to get the dimensions for 20x24 holders (or where to get one for less than the price of a VW bug?)

There is no standard size. I have seen Wisner, S&S and AWB holders in this size and they are all different. If you want to make one use any size you like and make the back to fit. The only thing that matters is that a piece of 20X24" film will fit in the frame.

I can sell you an S&S holder, not sure how the price compares to a VW bug.

Which begs the question,

"When is that in Vegas?!"

Hope you and your mom are doing well. I didn't make it out this year for the summer session unfortunately.

best,

Monty

Actually did anyone post plans for a camera anywhere. I doubt Zebra will lend me his if he still has it, so I might have to build one as well.

Lend is such a strong word Rob! I will make it available in ASHEVILLE if you find yourself down in the lower 48. Unfortunately you know Dinesh and therefore there is a screening requirement that doesn't apply to most folk!
