Actually this is the 2nd 4X5. I failed to properly seat the film holder in the camera so the 1st 4X5 didn’t come out. But we will say this is the first. I realized this at the time and took a 2nd picture of the same thing. Taken hand held using sports viewer.

4x5 Anniversary Speed Graphic

Kodak Ektar f4.5 101mm

I bought this guy off an auction site last November, and didn't think I would be able to shoot with it for a while, as I didn't know when the funds would come along for the rest of the pieces. After deciding that our beloved Polaroid definitely has a shelf-life, I decided to hurry around, makeover the camera, and get buying the rest of the parts.

I ripped off the leather, sanded the brass hardware, refinished the wood, fixed (but have not yet timed) the internal shutter, fabricated a lensboard, bought ground glass holder and Polaroid 405 film holder.

I know the lens is small for a 4x5 camera, but I only plan on shooting Polaroid 6-series pack films and the equivalent Fuji films. It works great for these films.

I also know that it isn't beautiful , and the remodel isn't completely finished, but I had to tell myself it was more important to start shooting through a working camera, rather than wait until the camera was perfectly refinished and my Polaroid film was all dead to start shooting (and based on my current schedule, would have been years).

Well, almost never. In this case I think I did alright. I got back my first batch of 4x5 negs and I don't have a 4x5 capable scanner yet, so being the impatient guy that am I, I scanned them as reflective media rather than as negs, and inverted them in MS Paint.

The Orton effect here is an artifact of this bootlegging process. I'm picking up a 16"x20" darkroom print of this next week, can't wait!
