greg_lawhon Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 I found one old thread about the Hobo "point and shoot" 8x10 and 5x7 cameras sold by Bostick & Sullivan, but no user reviews. Has anyone tried one? They look kinda' fun. See www.bostick-sullivan.com/Hobo/welcome.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_smith Posted January 5, 2000 Share Posted January 5, 2000 If you are signing up for the Mammoth Camera workshop with Tillman Crane in Sandy, Utah for this coming June, Richard Sullivan will be there with a few of the 8x10 Hobo cameras for you to use. A good chance to see what they really do next to full out view cameras in sizes from 4x10 to 20x24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_patti1 Posted January 6, 2000 Share Posted January 6, 2000 You might also want to check out http://www.Kerik.com/. He has a portfolio of images made with a home-made wide-angle 8x10 (and printed in platinum/palladium) which looks a lot like the Hobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroy_beal Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 I was intrigued with the Hobo design when I first saw it on the B&S web page. I decided I would build one for myself. I bought two 8x10 film holders, found a used 90 mm Anglon lens and went to work reverse engineering the camera. It turned out great. I get nothing but rave reviews of the camera and photos. I am doing a project of "peephole Portraits" of friends and interesting people I know. I give total credit to the originators of the design and tell people to buy from them. This was a great camera building project and an excellent camera to use. Leroy Beal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
