So I finally got my big order... Parts for my home made 6x17 medium format panoramic camera.
I'm very excited and slightly disapointed at the same time... And I still have lots of work before I can take photos with this sucker...
First, BSF is just painted WSF??? I had no clue... Makes sense for production ease, but I would have liked to know...
Second, tolerances are really not what I expected... I guess the black paint is mostly to blame. It's not so bad that it can't be fixed by some sanding, but I expected tighter precision...
Last, the 10 day window was missed, by not that much but missed... just a bummer since the test parts tool much less time to arrive, but at least it's here now...
I started integrating some external parts for the film winding mechanism, taping holes, etc, but it will definitely take longer than I thought...
I'll keep posting on progress...
