Smartflex 4×5 has now been fully produced, and we would like to once again thank everyone for your support.

The 8×10 has completed testing and is now officially available. The 10×10-inch curtain shutter, with a top speed of 1/1000s, is an absolute powerhouse for shooting 8×10 film and 8×10 Polaroid.

Learning from our Kickstarter experience, we prepared 15 sets of components in advance this time. The first 5 sets can be shipped within two weeks, and the remaining 10 sets will be shipped in early February.

The current price is a limited “trial” price for this small batch（USD 5,715）.It includes a specially designed standard lens: a 300mm f/2.8.
If you do not need the lens, a discount of USD 500 is available. 

Shipping is temporarily set at USD 200. If the actual cost exceeds this amount, we will cover the difference ourselves.

Orders are now open, and you’re very welcome to join us.

For any questions regarding the 8×10, you can contact me at smartflexcamera@hotmail.com

Design Highlights:
* Exceptional Body Rigidity: The robust chassis provides smooth focusing operation even with heavy lenses weighing 8–10 kg, while effectively preventing front standard sag.
* Extendable Body Design: The rear standard can be extended to accommodate 600 mm lenses; with an optional extension lens board, even longer focal lengths become supported.
* Oversized Bellows and Camera Body: The generous bellows and chamber size ensure zero vignetting—even when using ultra-fast lenses such as the 340 mm f/2.4—allowing the lens to perform at its full optical potential.
* High-Performance Focal-Plane Shutter: Precision-cut cloth shutter curtains paired with powerful mainsprings enable shutter speeds up to 1/1000 s, ideal for bright daylight shooting.
* Versatile Shutter Operation: Supports focal-plane shutter use in ground-glass (view camera) mode with T-setting for convenient wet-plate or direct paper exposure.
* Large 203×203 mm Lens Board: Compatible with virtually all common large-format lenses, enabling direct mounting without adapters.
Integrated Quick-Release Plate: Includes an Arca-Swiss or Manfrotto-compatible quick-release plate for rapid setup, removal, and precise center-of-gravity adjustment.
