Well I can read and ( just about) understand allIf you can read German,

I suppose I might as well add a missing advantage to plates over film. They are rigid, meaning that film flatness is a given; there is no possibility of the emulsion surface bowing in towards the lens. If depth of focus is a potential issue (as with wide angle lenses) this could possibly result in sharper images.

On the second point, in 35mm (my normal area of comfort), wider lenses seem to produce a greater depth of field. Is there something I should understand to change this in 4x5? (Although again not an issue for me as I only have one 135mm lens.)
It's more of an issue with longer focal lengths.

the film could be sucked toward the lens with a bellows camera.
True; short focal length lenses do have more depth of field. But I said
Depth of field is how much the subject can move and still look sharp; depth of focus is how much the film can move and still record an image that looks sharp.
You seem to still be talking about the subject to camera distance...
We'll have to agree to differ on this, as I still believe that there's a difference between depth of field and depth of focus.
Apple and barley sugar?That's an interesting colour scheme, very bling!!
How about a minty Chroma?
These are fantastic cameras - what worries me is that when I see one in use I'll have to spend money!
At this time of year it would have to be alternating black and white layers - bah, humbug!!!
It’s not black and white but there’s another Chroma coming soon that’s not a millions miles off!
It's a 22 page Haynes-esque manual as I've tried to cover all bases!
I've only very quickly skipped through the pages Steve so can't comment on the possibilities of typos, however it looks to be well presented and will, I suspect, be very helpfull to Chroma users, myself included!
I'm now on page 8 and without a notebook. So far, at least one typo, a few places where I have stylistic queries, one query on a change of font size and one place where either I don't understand it or it may but wrong! I'll return when I can make notes as I read
Hi Steve - firstly it seems very well written and certainly will be very useful to new Chroma users (including me)!
I've read through it all and have very few comments, so will put them here rather than commenting the doc and resending to you:
Page 2, line 1
"its'" shouldn't have the apostrophe - just "its"
Page 14, line 14
"the same one that secure" - secure should be secures
Page 19, end of 1st paragraph
It might be worth mentioning that after tripping the shutter, to remember to replace the darkslide before beginning the process of removing the DDS holder (only because several Chroma users will be new to LF photography)
Page 22, line 3
"ready to packed" should be "ready to be packed"
Cheers,
Conrad.
P.S. Reading through this has made me even more impatient waiting for my Chroma!
And here’s the first blue Chroma nearly complete (just need to fit a couple of bubble levels and the last few seals). I quite like the colour myself [emoji3]

that looks ace, what number is that one mate? how many more for the 1st order to be fulfilled-just being nosey
edit: good on you, they do look amazing. just looked @ kickstarter 112 to go then be a while till open sales then i take itThanks bud. That's the 46th Chroma I've built/shipped. I've got the last few "Kickstarter Specials" to build then I've completed the first three 'early' batches from the campaign and can get on with the Release Editions.
