How Large Format cameras are made
#1

I really enjoyed this short 5 minute video - basically showing how a Walker Titan 4x5 large format camera is made. I'm surprised at how much cutting, gluing, double sided tape, and hand assembly is used - especially when everything these days are precision manufactured and cut and assembled with such tight tolerances.

I wondered if this was actual production (hand done) or just a one-off for the video.
I mean - even the machines do the same routine (just quicker), however it is still very interesting. ..............and cheaper than a D800. Angel
