Kipp Wettstein not only has an abundance of fine work he also builds his own cameras, and my they look the business. Not only that but theres a whole section on his site devoted to the building of these fine beasts.
I have often thought of building my own camera but the thought of all that testing and measurements makes my head spin. But to have a camera built to your very own spec must be nice. I have had my 5/4 camera for about ten years now and its been in extreme heat, extreme cold, heavy rain many times, sea spray, dropped in a deep mud pool (only last week), and survived many trips overseas. Its held together with 'Duct Tape' and now looks like I did an A-Team creation put it together in a prison cell using bits of fluff.
Maybe its time to give Kipp a call.
Donations are now being taken.
