![]() ![]() ![]() Both standards allow 45° of tilt forwards and backwards, and Lloyd claims swing is limited only by the coverage of the lens in use and the ability of the bellows to flex. Lloyd has designed Chroma to provide a good range of movements in both the front and rear standards, with 40mm of rise and fall when both standards are in operation, and 30mm of shift in either direction at the front. Here's a quick intro to the colorful Chroma camera: Even with the ground glass screen, the camera weighs just 1592g. The 3mm and 5mm acrylic sheets he uses allow cameras to be made in a range of colors-including Red, Pink, Blue, White, Green, Matte Black, Glossy Black, Purple and Yellow-while the lightweight nature of the material means the Chroma will weigh much less than a traditional wooden model. ![]() Steve Lloyd has spent fifteen years creating custom cameras as one-offs, but decided to make a production 5x4 camera using modern materials and technologies. To that end, the Chroma will be made from brightly colored sheets of acrylic, laser-cut for accuracy. A UK photographer and custom-built camera maker has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund a new 5x4-inch field camera that he intends to be lightweight, easy-to-use, unique, affordable and upgradable.
