Re: Finney is Back!

You can buy a Finney turret on a 4x4 lensboard from Calumetphoto.com. This
holds all the pinholes and zone plates, with a shutter mechanism. About
$475, $1,000 less than the whole camera. Then just use it on your 4x5 view
or field camera. I was surprised to see that the Finney camera is more
sturdy than the pictures would lead you to think.
