I was loaned a Graflex Speed Graphic a few months ago by my sisters fella, he has had it for quite a few years but never used it. As it came with a rollfilm holder I thought it would be fun to put a roll through it large format style. I used it on a tripod, fitted the ground glass back to compose and focus, then fit the film back, stop down the lens, remove the dark slide, shoot and then start the process again. It was an interesting experience and given a bit more free time I would probably find it a very relaxing way to shoot. The old Kodak lens is obviously pretty decent given the detail seen in this scan, the sky has some funny patterning which I think is due to some heavy fungus on the internal elements but I can't be sure. I was pretty happy anyway.
