Novel take on a large format bellows camera. Lincoln Steampunk Weekend, 2022 - Lincoln Cathedral doorway,
These are fantastic cameras, I used one to take most of the 1,000 or so pictures in my two-volume set of Books, GUNMAKERS OF ILLINOIS, 1683-1900. That 4" X 5" negative allows for huge enlargements, with no loss of detail. The down side? Very expensive to feed, And difficult to find anyone to process the film, even twenty years ago.
My nephew portrayed in Wet Plate Collodion technique with large format camera 5x7" and two studio flashes 1500Ws + 750Ws. More about it on my blog: www.borutpeterlin.wordpress.com

Large format Cambo SC camera + Schneider Symmar-S 210mm f5.6 lens. This camera - a "Big rifle" for a "Big Boys" :))
Film: ILFORD FP-4 PLUS 125 b&w film. Scanned with Canon CanoScan 8800F. Original size was 11683 pix : 19092 pix - so its more then 223 MP but I resized it for Flickr on 50% . On original size you can clearly see crowd of tourist and even small point-and-shoot camera in hands of young lady.
Processed in ILFOSOL-3, ILFOSTOP and ILFORD Rapid fixer.
Shot with Wista 45N large format camera on Fuji Neopan Acros 100 film. The exposure was 1/60s at F22 on a Fujinon 135 lens.
This is a scan of the front cover of "The Pacemaker Speed Graphic" booklet, announcing the arrival of the "Pacemaker Speed Graphic" and "Pacemaker Crown Graphic" cameras. Both cameras were large format 4x5 "press cameras" introduced by the "Graflex" in 1947.
Besides boasting the "LIGHTNESS, STRENGHT AND DURABILITY" of the Pacemaker series, the booklet also provides details of accessories that would have been available from Graflex. Such as: different lenses (Wide angle/wide field, and telephoto), shutters ("Supermatic" and "GRAPHEX"), film receptacles/film holders, an enlarger (the "GRAFLARGER"), carrying cases, and flashbulbs (aka "GRAFLIGHTS")
An interesting thing to note about the "Crown Graphic", is that is was the first Graflex camera produced without a focal plane shutter. It should also be noted that despite being called the "Speed Graphic", it was in fact a rather slow camera to use. Between exposures the photographer was required to change the sheet film, focus the camera, cock the shutter, and then fire the shutter. However, film holders were available that could hold up to 12 sheets; allowing the photographer to take pictures more quickly.
I found this booklet in a box full of old "Good Housekeeping" magazines from the 1950's and 60s. Sometimes I enjoy looking through old photography booklets, manuals and magazines. They can provide alot of information on a particular model of camera, including the features and accessories available.
A downloadable PDF version of this booklet is available at...
New York City Easter Parade 2018
The NYC Easter Parade is a great opportunity to do portraits of fabulously dressed people in the street.
Earlier today, sporting a handheld 1930's Graflex RB large format camera and a bunch of film holders I enjoyed myself and made some new friends...
Here's some of the results, just out of the darkroom….
Happy Easter to all !!

I conducted these tests for my own purposes, but I thought that they might be of interest to others...
4 pieces of Fuji AD-M mammography film received identical exposures from an xray sensitometer's green light.
They were processed together in 11x14" flat bottomed trays, with intermittent agitation.
They received a 2'min prewash, developed in Adox RO9 20+1000ml at 24C (which happens to be my room temperature, and I have stopped trying to fight it in open trays), with each film pulled from the developer at 4', 5.5', 8', and 11' minutes.
There was a 30"sec rinse, a 5'min fix, and a 10'min wash.
They were then contact printed on Ilford MGWT RC paper, including a Stouffer scale for comparison, at grades 00, 2, and 5.
The exposures were made with a Durst L-1200 and an Ilford 500 head (the one with Green/Blue lights), controlled by an Analyser 500. I exposed for a little more than minimum exposure for maximum black.
The densities were also measured with a black-and-white densitometer and the readings were plotted with the (free to download) FilmTestEvaluation.xls file.

Kodak Panoram 4D c1920
Another lovely location for the panoram Kodak camera making new images in the panoramic format in this cleverly designed camera. Negatives are 30cmx10cm
This panoramic camera creates its photograph by swinging the lens through 142degrees projecting a rectangular image onto the film held in an arc 120mm from the lens. I use single sheets of Agfa green X-Ray film 30cm high 10cm wide (cut from 40x30cm sheets). Goerz 120mm lens with yellow filter. ISO 100 f16 1/100s.
Negative photographed on a light-table, inverted and toned in Photoshop/Lightroom/SilverFX.

{film} This was one of my "shit, I need to bring this camera back now" shots. Excuse the poor posture and the hair that badly needs a cut.
We found out last night that our offer on the house we checked out earlier this week was accepted. Inspection is starting today and if all goes well, we'll be able to move in at some point in mid to late January.

Behind-the-scenes: Photographing sheep with a Chamonix F-2 4x5 near St. Ignatius, MT. The sheep were convinced I was up to no good. It took an hour of standing still under my darkcloth to get them to relax so I could take the photo.
This 19th century die-cut, chromolithograph of a family being photographed with a large field camera was bought on a trip to England.
