Runar Matsui-Li's 4 x 5 and 5 x 7 cameras

Runar Matsui-Li, a Norwegian living in Japan, has built two large format cameras over the past three or four years, a 4 x 5 monorail camera based on my design and a 5 x 7 non-folding flatbed camera modeled on the Ebony cameras.

Runar made the bellows himself, a pleated bellows for the 4 x 5 camera and a bag bellows for the 5 x 7. He used wing nuts for control knobs, which he finds is not a very good solution, he writes in an e-mail.

If you want to contact Runar, his e-mail is runarli(at)hotmail.com.
