Product Reviews
front view
Several different independent, and unedited, reviews of the Bender View Camera Kits are presented here. One is from an individual who built the 4x5 kit and wrote about it for the benefit of others and uploaded it to Compuserve. Another is a couple of recent photos of a kitbuilder's camera and a note we received from him. The third is from a thread taken from the Usenet Newsgroup "rec.photo" several years ago (actually, quite a fvew years ago, and this file has comments added and identified). This file is also available under the name of "bender.txt" elsewhere on the net.

While most of the comments in these reviews are quite favorable and complimentary to Bender Photographic, some are not.

Many of the issues dealt with in these articles have been answered either with clarifications or design changes.
