field camera kit

[dan_brittain]

Does anyone know where to get a kit or plans for building a field camera that folds up? Similar to the Bender kits but not a monorail. Thanks

I'm not a proponent of doing this yourself, but if the urge is just too

much to suppress, take a look at the construction article in the Nov./

Dec. 1996 issue of ViewCamera. When you're done reading that, read the

very next article on testing your ground glass alignment. If you

expect to get sharp results from a home-built camera, you will need to

know how to test ground glass/film plane alignment.

James Vail has online plans, Doug Bardell will sell plans at a

reasonable price. You find links to their web pages from the above

URL. You will also find some links from this page:
