Re: [ATM] patterns for antique camera focusers

[hermit <hermit@outofoptions.org>]

I have recently started working with a 4x5 camera.  There are designs on 
the web on how to design and fold the bellows.  Someone recently put out 
a self published book on the subject.  You could check the archives at 
http://largeformatphotography.info for that.  Many commented that a 
computer was overkill though.  Never tried it myself.
