Thanks T. The reason we haven’t bothered to glue any of these together before is because, on first viewing, it didn’t look worth the effort. Perhaps not looking for a few years really is a good idea. This was the first set that stood out so I might look again at some point.

We only did one day and mostly, it felt like good practice for another day that never happened.

Love the quad Gary!! As you know Adrian and I tried the two simultaneous cameras and gave up after days of concerted effort with little reward. I love this quad thing and would love to see more!

Hi John – I’m not sure if I have the skills myself! If you do what I did, it really isn’t very difficult and I’m sure you could find someone to put the bits together for you. The “body” is only a flat piece with a hole in the middle – more or less. I haven’t tested it enough to decide whether I’m happy with what it produces.

This is an exciting project. I’ve always wanted to buy a VistaShift 612 from Ralph Fuerbringer, but don’t believe that they are available any longer.

Your camera reminds me of the huge area coverage of his camera.

I’d love to make one but don’t think I’m skilled enough.

Have you ever made a camera for anyone else?

Thanks

It really is just a lens (which includes a shutter), a focus mount, a plywood spacer and a roll-film holder. The focus mount and film holder came from Hong Kong or China via ebay. Search on ebay – 6×12 Roll Film Back – should find same or similar. I can’t see the helical lens mount on ebay at the moment but you can get more expensive / better versions to match a particular lens, for example here are the Schneiders: http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/product.asp?P_ID=1358&PT_ID=370 Robert White also sell roll film holders: http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/product.asp?P_ID=1200&PT_ID=309
I hope that helps.

Any chance you could give me some pointers in constructing a Version One?

Hi Gary:
My friend searched some information on Veriwide, but he thought it’s too big for him to use. So thx a lot!

Take Care!
