Graflex Crown Graphic

I made a couple of equipment upgrades before the end of 2014...

 

After long-wanting a manual instant camera to burn through my stash of FP-3000B, I grabbed this: Graflex Crown Graphic, Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens, Polaroid 405 back.

 

I originally planned to get a 180 or shove a manual lens into a folding pack camera, but then I found this for a much better deal, and it's more-versatile as down the line I can shoot 4x5 sheet/instant films as well.

 

I first bought it back in September however I found light leaks in the bellows, so I took it back and the guy had it repaired before selling it back to me a month later. I picked up the Polaroid back not long, afterward; and made a slight modification to the camera back so it would fit (just stuck a few washers in the screws for the springs). It's been out a few times already with decent results, using my phone to meter and set exposures.
