This information is current.
I have only two units left in my inventory of Model B cameras: numbers
12 and 15. I probably won't be building any more Model B cameras. If you
are interested in buying one of them please see the Ordering
page for details. I am still building Model
D cameras as time allows.
Cameras are listed
in descending order of serial number, thus also indicating relative production
date. All cameras are signed by me and stamped on the bottom with serial
number.
Understanding the
serial numbers: The first letter, B, refers to a particular prototype.
(Yes, there was an A, but it was shaped differently and was too hard to
build.) The three numerical digits after that are the actual camera number;
they are never repeated. So camera number B017ZW, for instance, is also
just plain old number 17. The final letters indicate the dominant wood,
mostly just to jog my own memory: BW burled walnut, LW lacewood,
LWW lacewood & walnut, RW rosewood, SP satinwood
& purpleheart, TM tiger maple, TMW tiger maple &
walnut.
"Lens mount"
refers (throughout my website) to the wood disk that retains the metal
aperture disk; obviously there is no actual lens. The "lens mounts"
of all cameras are as shown on camera number 1 (at bottom). All cameras
include one aperture disk a 400-micron diameter laser-drilled pinhole
in .0005" stainless steel, supplied by Lenox
Laser.
