This is the most mind boggling cool DIY camera design. A 3d printed camera, DIY electronics project, and a crazy amount of cool features.

It’s not done, but it’s close and everything is working! (Except I made a classic electronics mistake!🤦‍♂️)

This is the Identidem MRF, by Albert Cornelissen:

Coupled lidar rangefinder
Light meter
Swappable masks (6x7, 6x6, 6x4.5, 35)
Any Mamiya UP lens
Matching viewfinder mask for lens and mask
Etc.

Adox 8x10 Fibre Based paper arrived.

So, I'm looking forward to seeing how it produces in the DIY 5x4.

Well, in all things DIY - with me - it's not quite glued in sq. Fortunately I have a ball head on the tripod, so can compensate quite readily 😉 We shall see how long it lasts, before it works itself loose.

I've used up all the LC29 developer now, so shall be trying Rodinal as my Paper Negative developer, if all goes well, then I shall continue to use it.

I'll hopefully be taking the not so small DIY camera out into the field today. Most likely to one of the streams and into the forest. Six shots available 😄.

Also, hopefully, I will get all my maths right when working out exposures, and remember to put in the aperture stops...!
