What a great job he did. It looks very professional, even though the numbers produced must be fairly low. I wonder how the shutter mechanism works, on most medium format cameras that's a work of art and a project in its own right.

It uses mamiya press lenses, the focusing helicoid and shutter are in the lens.

What is the quality like for these lenses? This says the system was discontinued in the 1970s.

I've seen a lot of Mamiya 645 and 67 systems but those were probably from the 1980's and 90's.

		I can't speak for the Mamiya Press but the Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 for the Graflex XL is rad.

Ahh, I totally missed that detail. That makes the whole thing so much more feasible.

See "Camera Specifics" on [1], for a casual but accurate explanation.

Photography is an amazing hobby, highly recommend diving into it ^^!
