standardcameras.com/products/... - Whether you’re brand new to large format or have been shooting for years, there is plenty to love about The Standard 4×5. It is a simple 4×5 with the features photographers need most. With anodized aluminum, Carbon Fiber, and 3D printed parts, the camera is lightweight and durable while maintaining the rigidity and movements you would expect from a large format camera. The camera body can quickly detach from the rail, making it compact and easy to transport. Its compatibility with various film and Graflok backs allow you to explore shooting smaller formats, polaroid, and more.
The camera is designed with upgrades and modifications in mind - it is segmented into several sections that can be independently altered without affecting the entire system. This also means that repairs are quick and easy. So the next time your kid uses your camera for their science fair project (it’s a volcano), you won’t need a brand new camera.
Our black bellows are constructed in-house with durable, water-resistant nylon and synthetic materials. They have a draw from 70 to 300 mm. The bellows are an independent component of the camera that can be swapped or replaced using only hex keys.

This was soooooooooo helpful. I had no questions. I watch this video the whole way through my assembly. I was very doable.
Well I can’t wait for mine to arrive so I can follow along again 😂😸
Woohoo! I should have it out the door early next week actually.
@@drew_nikonowicz nice! If it arrives by Thursday, I’ll be thrilled 😸
This was thorough and detailed and so helpful ❤ My favorite part was mounting the bellows 😉
It was really cool watching this be edited and then seeing the final product. All hail the soothing ratchet sounds.
Gonna send you an edit of only the ratchet sounds and nothing else.
Thanks for the thorough walkthrough! And yay for the easy adjustment for handedness! :)
Does it come with a remote shutter and does it come with a lens? Also will this fit on any tripod? Thanks!
It doesn’t come with a lens or cable release. But it should fit on almost any tripod! Most tripods use a 1/4”-20 thread, which is what’s on our 4x5. 😁
I built my Standard camera in 2020 and would like to know what's the difference between my version and V2 ?
Sent this in an email as well, but in case anyone else comes through the video and is curious! -
Version 2 of the camera is easier to build, has less parts, and is just a hair lighter than version one. The big improvement is the 99% metric (primarily m3) hardware set. Verson 1 used all imperial hardware, which was much more difficult for folks outside of the states to acquire. So we switched the metric so people would have an easier time sourcing all the hardware. That's the primary improvement, aside from reducing the number of parts and complexity of the camera all over in small ways.
4x5 * 2.0 = 8x10???
one more question, im sorry.🥹 does the kit come with the needed screws and bolts ? also does the camera still come with the pinhole lens or must they be bought separately ? thank you ! p.s. you do such a great job at explaining it, very thorough. :)
Yep! Any kit (pinhole or 4x5) comes with all the hardware needed to complete the assembly. And the 4x5 does not come with a lens. Happy to answer any questions, no trouble at all!
