Voigtlander Bergheil 9x12cm with international back

Now my Voigtlander Bergheil got a new back, it is usable with the standard international filmholders.

It is complete 3D printed.

I have only the mount the parts and I glue it and fixed the parts with brass screws.

I used a spring of a damaged cable shutter release for the spring back part, works very good and save.

The ground glass is out of a Super 8 film viewer, this ones are combinated with a fressnell glass.
The glass is slight blue because of compensating the more red than white light of the bulbs in the viewer.

Now it is a very small and light weight large format camera in 9x12cm format.
