This is an on-going list of sites I have found cool or useful to me since I started photography.  

Camera Creation:

Jon Grepstad - The best resource I've found on camera construction.  I used his book as a starting point for my first camera, and will use it as a reference for any in the future.

Bender Photographic - Nice kit cameras for a reasonable price.  

Huib Holleman - Nice blow by blow on his construction of a 4X5 camera.  Well done site.

Cees A de Groot - He built a large format camera based on plans by Jon Grepstad.  Has a lot of other info as well.

Fabio Quadarella - Has examples of a couple of really nice cameras and a hand built enlarger.

Doug Bardell - Has built really nice 8X10 and 4X5 cameras.  Also has a great hand built tripod head.

MIKONEKA - This is a great page for information on how to build a wooden 4X5 camera.  This site does include some construction plans and is quite comprehensive.
