My new project ('cause I have time for it...) arrived today - a Star Camera Company 10x12" view camera. In very good shape, with three holders. The unique rise/fall is based on a tambour panel, which needs some attention. Rest of it is icing on the cake.

Haven't done much on the 10x12 recently, but a new strap made it here yesterday...

Found at Brettun's Village. Now I have to decide - leave it tan, or dye it black. Or darker brown...

Almost all the work is done on this camera now. I need to ship off the bellows, sooner than later.

Picked up the bellows today, and now they're installed! Hope to get it out shooting early next week (out of developer... ).
