20x24 Mammoth

Well,...... It may be hell getting this thing to a reenactment field. This is a 20x24 camera I just finished out of cherry. It has a rise/fall lensboard, swing and tilt on the rear standard. The cabinet has a tilt as well.

This was one heck of a major undertaking in my little shop.

Outstanding camera Ty. So how are you going to get it out of the shop?

Hey Doug, hope things have been well for you. How did I get it out of the shop....carefully. I actually have double doors, so that was no big deal, but getting it inside my toyota tacoma was another matter.

You know Doug, one of those would go great with the wagon.

You know how full my wagon is with just two cameras, I would have to build a conastoga for that one. Maybe when I retire.

Hey Bob, it went to live with Robb Kendrick down in Austin, TX. I need to get started on another 20x24 heading to Kansas.
