Vermeer 612 anamorphic (work in progress)

[cezarioo]

This project is unfinished yet, i'll try to make it ready next weekend. Frame size is 6x12 cm, inner elements are made from 3mm plywood in 2 layers (top and bottom guides) and 4 mm threated rods. I'm going to install two alumunium rods shown at pics #2 close to spools to keep film tightly around cylinder. There is also some mask element required installed close to two threated rods. Holes in top guides will be larger (camera is only temporarily assembled to check advancing). Good news- no problems with film advancing.

Camera is almost ready- i painted and reassembled elements again. I hope to make test film within next 2-3 days. It's getting warmer outside- today only -5 Celsius degrees. Cheers

Professional craftmanship, elegant camera. Btw, how do you make the curved shapes (film path etc.)? They look so clean...

I'm betting they are laser cut!

Excellent camera design, as usual. Great work!

Thanks for your comments.
@ Martin and Dbell- yes, they are laser cut. My friend has access to cnc laser cuting machine. There is only required 1:1 scale artwork made in Corel Draw and some 3mm plywood
