In which Graham describes the process and decision-making during the build of a FrankenCamera (a camera made out of parts of different source cameras), the FrankenBessa. The inspiration for the camera is discussed (7:45), including the K-Pan camera (http://paulkohlhaussen.com/k-pan/) and why the Voigtlander Bessa 6X9 folder was chosen for the body (10:30). Lens choice and experimentation is covered (12:45). Nick explains the concept behind a hyperfocal setup so the camera can be used as a focus-free quick-shooter (15:30). Graham laments the light-leak issues with this type of build and why they will follow him to his grave (21:05). Finally, they get to what it’s like to shoot with this photographic monstrosity (28:15) and Graham equates the build to dissecting a frog (39:50). A photographic challenge is presented wherein Nick and Graham and anyone else who wants to participate will build a camera from household objects and then use it to shoot photos each month to see who will win the Garbage Cam Challenge.
