i am interested in making a replica of the old time flash gun that uses flash powder except i am going to adapting a electronic flash as the light source for safety so dose anyone have any dimensions of these units thak you
thank you for the information it was exactly what i was looking for. i am building a field camera for my 4x5 hobby and this will go with the design i am making thank you again Terry Pokorny
Consider a replica that fires the smallest flash bulbs. Flash bulbs put out a lot of light for their size, and don't require the high voltage, moderately complex circuitry, or capacitors that involved in electronic flash.
Why not use the real thing? I don't know the sources of flash powder these days, but I always thought it would be fun to use it exactly as it was used in the olden days.
