Using existing bellows cameras

• I came up with the idea of re-creating a press photographer from the 1930's.

• I originally looked at DIY kits. First was diycamera.com which was announced but never finished and Bulldog from B&H photo that is no longer offered for sale.

• I started searching on ebay for used bellows cameras. I was often out-bid, and I really didn't want cameras that were still usable as film cameras.
