A volte \u00e9 semplicemente un ricordo dimenticato da qualcun altro, a volte ce l’hai in casa.
Bene, ora \u00e9 una vera 4×5″ usabile con le cassette fidelity standard, piccola, leggera, rise, fall, shift anteriore, ed un minimo di tilt, per quanto poco. Da 90 a 180 si pu\u00f3 montare quasi tutto, ma con quasi tutte le ottiche bisogna smontare l’elemento posteriore per sfilare la piastra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il dorso \u00e9 completamente realizzato da me con filamenti caricati in legno e carbonio, per la migliore stabilit\u00e0 dimensionale. Si innesta con lo stesso meccanismo del portalastre originale (nelle foto) e non ha comportato alcuna modifica alla macchina, peraltro gi\u00e0 ampiamente ritoccata in passato, credo.
Le piastre portaottica un po’ kitsch ed il vetro smerigliato sono sempre sempre realizzati in casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it\u2019s simply a memory forgotten by someone else; other times, you already have it at home.\nWell, now it\u2019s a genuine 4x5\" camera compatible with standard Fidelity film holders\u2014compact and lightweight, featuring front rise, fall, and shift, plus a bit of tilt (albeit a limited amount). You can mount almost any lens from 90mm to 180mm, though with most of them, you have to remove the rear element to slide the lens board out.\nI built the back entirely myself using wood- and carbon-filled filaments to ensure optimal dimensional stability. It attaches using the same mechanism as the original film holder (shown in the photos) and required no modifications to the camera body\u2014which, I believe, had already been heavily modified in the past anyway.\nThe slightly kitsch lens boards and the ground glass are also entirely homemade<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
