Burke & James 4x5 Field
My first Field 4x5 after selling my Sinar. The lens that it came with (not pictured) was an Astragon 135mm and it was a mess to begin with. It was my first antique and took me a while to notice the glass was cloudy, basically frosted. I unscrewed the whole thing and just wiped it clean with lens cleaner. A lot easier than I thought and images came out better than expected.
Pros: Love the weight, its like a feather. Handheld is totally possible (I have a linhof and my left bicep is finally catching up with my righty) The bellows is pristine.
Cons: Pulling the front standard out from the housing is weird. Its like two set s of train tracks with a half inch gap and its almost a guessing game to see if you can catch it or not.
Well I hope whoever has it now is enjoying it.
