What's Included in the 8x10 Kit?
Everything listed below is included in the 8x10 kit. Everything that is normally part of a camera body is included. During construction you will need to provide glue, sandpaper, matte black paint, contact cement, and some kind of finish or sealer for the wood. After construction you will need a lens that covers the film format you want to use, a tripod (standard 1/4"x 20 mount), a focusing cloth, and film holders (also standard). One blank lensboard is included and extras are available for $9.00 each. When you drill the hole in the lensboard it does not need to be threaded and the process is relatively easy. If you don't want to drill your own lensboard you can take it to a local machine shop and pay them to drill it for you (about $5 - $10). When you add that $10 to the $9.00 lensboard cost it still comes out to be a far cry cheaper than one of the $60 jobs you'd buy elsewhere!
