My homemade 5x4 pinhole camera with my first image made on Fomapan 100 and developed in Rodinal.
Mostly made from foam board.

Well I'm told they are quite lightweight which will make a refreshing change from my 8X10".

They certainly are light weight. I’ve got a Wista branded version but they’re essentially the same. Pay attention not to crinkle the bellows when you fold it up. It’s very common to see these with crinkled bellows.

Ensign Special with a 7inch f3.4 Aldis Butcher lens. The shutter was completely seized when I received it but with some TLC I’ve got it running nicely. Looking forward to putting some dry glass plates through this once the weather cools off.

Yes they are.
What I will say is, they are not as quick to operate as other 4x5 field cameras.
My Toyo 45A was way easier to set up and start using. Ok, yes, it was ugly!

I've always enjoyed the slow speed of using large format :)
