PERSONAL NOTES

The Bender has a very simple design, so simple anyone could build one. It's a cheap way to get into 8x10, but it's so fragile that it's very impractical. The Bender is so flimsy that everytime you put a film holder in, the adjustments might mome. Also, removing the dark slide can be tricky, as pulling on it might also pull the entire film holder, you need special attention when doing so.

When you get used to this camera, you can shoot 8x10 for cheap. But if you ever try another 8x10, you won't go back to the Bender.

CONCLUSION

The Bender is a cheap way to get into 8x10, but it's very flimsy.
