Picture for comparison with the older version of the Sinar F2 rear standard.
This is a part of a Sinar F2 view camera for 4x5 film.
It has an additional clamping lever for lateral shift, same also on the front standard.
The older F2 version had also lateral shift, there was only the same clamping lever for both
swing and lateral shift (9.).
The two versions are both very good, especially for architecture with 4x5 film it's a very useful tool.
The photo was made with a cell phone, no other digital camera available in our household ;)

Here's my first 4x5 photo I've captured since photography class in college. I used a Travelwide 4x5, a super lightweight and portable 4x5 camera I kickstarted a couple years back that had been gathering dust in my office until recently, and an Ilex-Calumet Field Caltar 90mm f/8 lens borrowed from work. The film is New55's Atomic-X ISO 100 4x5 Panchromatic Sheet Film and I developed it in a makeshift tray in my film changing bag with New55's R5 Monobath. The single development monobath is a bit crude and introduced some aberrations in the negative that I cleaned up a bit in post, but all in all I consider it a success.
This flower had fallen off the plant 5 weeks ago. Until a few days ago it was remarkably well maintained, we could understand how it could last so long off the plant.
Now in it's sad last days I've taken a picture on expired (2002) Kodak 4x5 Ektachrome duplicating film.
1 minute exposure @f22 in the kitchen at night (ISO 30).
Developed in Tetenal Colortec C-41.
The Tutone is a wooden, fixed focal length camera for either a 90mm leaf shutter lens or a pinhole. It will take a regular 4x5 Double Dark Slide and several other film holders. It is sturdy and very light, (400g basic, typically 950g with your own lens, bracket and DDS) and can be used handheld or on a tripod.
Every single time I shoot with the Tutone people come over to interrupt me!

Guessed at the exposure...badly. So I tweaked it a bit and gave it some sepia in post.

A cell phone picture of my Intrepid 4x5 MkII set up to take this picture:

... it's a Graflex Crown Graphic ... the old 4x5 press camera. I'm using it to take architectural subjects around here and will take it into the Adirondacks later this summer.
I should have kept my mouth shut.
Back in May, Cole Bellamy was across the counter at E.P. Levine's regaling me with stories of the good ol' days (when real men smelled like Dektol) and I told him about my unexpected acquisition of a 4x5 enlarger -- the amazing Beseler CB-7.
Without missing a beat Cole said, "Don't move!"
I thought he was running urgently to the bathroom, but then out he comes with a wide grin -- you have to see Cole's mischievous grin, the one peeking through his handsome Civil War-era goatee (just above his bow tie) -- carrying a grey Vulcanoid Handicase which looked like the personal effects of a deceased Boston Fireman.
Said Cole, now deadly serious, "This will go with your enlarger."
Inside was the object itself, but also two vintage Schneider lenses, a manual, flash apparatus (this is the selfsame apparatus that George Lucas used for the original Light Saber in the first Star Wars picture) and pristine flash bulbs waiting to be fired. The kit, and its smell, will take you back to Dallas, 1963.
It's clean, but you have to be there to hear the sprung track supports click into place when the openned front drops down. An Aston Martin's clove box being opened ... the way it moves the air: more of a 'SchUNK' than a 'SchPROING.'
Mike at Levine's said it came from Rochester, NY, home of Big Yellow, the RIT photography department, George Eastman House & the old Graflex Co. itself. This one may have been Mr Graflex's personal unit. (Graflex was Kodak's old Folmer & Schwing Division that was spun off in the 1940s; Singer "wound" the company down in 1973 and Toyo acquired the tooling).
David Burnett (of The New York Times) still shoots with the bigger Speed Graphic and even a Holga from time to time.
Good article on Photo.net by Tim Takahashi on the Speed Graphic.

My lab did an incredibly crappy job with these, they came back covered with dust and crap, and with blown highlights.
