I have a ton of holders for 9x12 cm glass plates and adapters for them to fit into standard 4x5 and Graflok backs.
I cut metal sheets of 9x12 cm and put them into the holders where the glass plates would go.
Now Instax sheets can be clamped under the edge on one side and held with a piece of sticky tape on the other.
I made 10 of them so I can preload a pack of Instax 100 into the holders and use them in my view camera.
Then I take them in a darkroom and drop them back into the cartridge to have them squeezed.
I also made a viewing screen by mounting a piece of ground glass in a plate holder and cutting a window into its rear wall with the correct borders.
This is not necessary with my 4x5 view cam but it is good to have on a graflok camera.
While this is not instant photography it is near instant compared to developing negative sheet films .
I took this photo with my Graflex Graphic View II 4x5 camera. I used Arista 100 sheet film and developed it in D-76 using my Combi-Plan tank. Developing time was normal.
An old 8x10 Century Studio Camera No. 7A - produced by Eastman Kodak Company, circa 1900. This huge view camera stands about 5 feet high, and probably weighs over 100 pounds. (During the weekend, I came across this old camera in a museum exhibit about the history of photography, and I could not resist taking a photo.)
Natural light, shot with a Calumet 4x5 view camera, on Kodak Portra 160 and developed at home with a Jobo C-41 Press Kit in a Patterson Universal Tank, using the "taco method" of folding the film with hair bands.
The chemicals were exhausted, so there was a minor color shift, and I'll probably not use hair bands next time to avoid marks, though that wasn't a major issue. Overall, this was a positive and productive first attempt at developing 4x5 film at home. Except the part where I sprayed Blix all over the kitchen sink.

A modest test shot with a vintage brass barrel lens (manufactured in 1930). I used the old fashioned "hat shutter" for the exposure. ;-)

Fonthill was the home of the American archaeologist and tile maker Henry Chapman Mercer. Built between 1908 and 1912, it is an early example of poured-in-place concrete and features 44 rooms, over 200 windows, 18 fireplaces and 10 bathrooms. The mansion is filled with an extensive collection of ceramics embedded in the concrete of the house, as well as other artifacts from his world travels, including cuneiform tablets discovered in Mesopotamia dating back to over 2,300 B.C.E. The home also contains around 1,000 prints from Mercer's extensive collection, as well as over six thousand books, almost all of which were annotated by Mercer himself. It has also been long rumored that the ghost of Henry Chapman Mercer's housekeeper still haunts the Fonthill castle, making it one of Doylestown, PA's prime supernatural hot spots.
I completely messed up the exposure on this one but I still like it enough to post, knowing I will go back and shoot it again in the future.

SEE THE CAMERA AT THE LINK BELOW:
First scan on my new (old) Imacon scanner.
This was taken with the Linhof 6x9 Technika and Voigtländer 114/4,5 Heliar. The plane of focus is tilted to be almost flat along the floor, probarbly both front and back tilt employed.
The film is Efke OP12 in 6,5x9 sheet film (A graphic film, the closest I know of now is Rollei ATO 2.1 but the ATO is not as hard to tame as the OP12.).
Developed in (used) Rodinal 1:50 1h semi stand development (ag + 30min still + ag 30min still).
Scaned on an Imacon Flextight Photo.
Camera: Toyo-View 45GII, Schneider Symmar S-MC 240mm f5.6, exposure f16-22, 1/2s. Film: Fujichrome Velvia 50 exp. 10/2013, home-developed with the Tetenal Colortec E-6 3-bath kit.
Early morning shot of the jade lady peak in heavy fog. I have to wait until well after sunrise before the fog cleared enough to even see the peak. Unfortunately by that time, most of the low fog over the water had already cleared and the light was getting slightly too harsh for my taste.
The shot was made using the Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-S 240mm f/5.6 with a 2-stop soft grad. The film used was Foampan 100, home developed in ADOX Rodinal 1+25 dilution then scanned on an Epson V850 flatbed.

One of the rarest soviet cameras.
(Probably copy of New-Vue 4x5)
"Presented by the photographic press in a general roundup of Soviet triumphs, and later in a work by E.A.Oofis entitled FotoKinoTechnica, this fascinating technical camera was produced in tiny quantities in 1948 and '49 in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) by an aviation produces company.
This is a 9x12cm camera with injection-molded aluminum frame, equipped with all shifts, swings and tilts. It was clearly destined for use by knowledgeable professionals.
The interchangeable front lens board takes the Industar-51 4.5/210mm, but no shutter seems to have been foreseen.
The rotating back takes double sided film holders that can be loaded with either glass plates or sheet film.
Very precise focusing is done on the groundglass, by means of a focusing knob located between two rails.
Dimensions: 235x260x255mm. Weight: 3,76kg.
A quality studio camera, unfortunately discontinued because it was too expensive to make in 1948."

Kallitype print on Arches Platinum Rag paper from 8x10 film
Developer Sodium citrate+Ammonium citrate. No toned.
The new 4x5 workhorse. Needs some shutter work. This is with the bellows only half-extended. The lens is a triple-convertible Wollensak 6.5" f4 / 10.5" f16 / 14.5" f16. Standard up/down and side shift adjustments. No rear tilt, though the bed can be tilted up and down to sort of imitate rear tilt. The back rotates to change between portrait and landscape.
Conleys were made by the Conley Camera Co. here in Rochester, MN, and sold primarily through the Sears catalog. Their offerings ranged from inexpensive Kewpie box cameras, to pocket folders similar to Kodak's Autographics, to high-end professional 8x10 view cameras. The factory building still stands on Fourth St SW, just west of Broadway. It's now a youth theater.
Technical gizmos aside, isn't all that polished mahogany and nickel plating gorgeous?

Early settlers to the region formed a Methodist Congregation in the settlement of Beaverdams in 1795 and became a part of the newly created Niagara Circuit. The congregation, originally meeting in the home of Isreal Swayze, also held camp meetings on the Swayze property. The congregation would build their own meeting house in 1832 which is pictured here. The Reverand Egerton Ryerson, who later helped formed the Province's Education System, was the first minister to preach in the new sanctuary. Extensive renovations were carried out in 1879 and services were discontinued in 1890. The Historic Beaverdams Church remains one of the oldest Methodist Churchs in Ontario and is the focus of a local group who is working to continue to preserve and teach about the early Methodist Church in Ontario.

I often say "flickr made me do it" when I make a post. In this case it was a post by paws22 that caused me to add four images to my photostream.
This 7" tall metal figure shows a photographer under a dark cloth focusing a view camera. It is one of our most treasured figures, acquired many years ago at a photographic sales show. We were especially pleased to find it since a line drawing, that could only have been made from this figure, is a well know and widely published back mark for the California photographer, S.A. Wolf. When I noticed an image of the back of a cabinet card in paws22's set I was moved to make a photograph of the statue and to make scans of one of our Wolfe cabinet cards.
I have included a photograph of the top of the statue where the cut-away top of the camera shows the surprising face of the photographer. I am also posting scans of the Wolf cabinet card of a child and the back mark of the card.
Thanks paws22 for the nudge to do it.

Back to camera porn! Back home again, I would say!
Welly welly well, what do we have here? If they aren't two of Leitz's underdogs! The Leica M2 and a Leitz Summar, two of the cheapest articles you can acquire to actually shoot. Well, at least they are cheaper in relation to other Leica gear, for no real reason.
But let's be honest, they are better a camera and a lens than most, most, MOST, of us are photographers.
Besides, Stephen Gandy, one of the wisemen about rangefinder equipment in the Internet, has a crush on this lens, so I will give it a try for a while...
Shot at wide open at 3.8 with the Vitax at 9 seconds. This was shot using natural light from an open door on a seattle sunny day(overcast with sunbreaks).
This is my favorite spot to take pictures on the Eastside waterfront. I especially like it on the wee hours of the morning when the water has flown undisturbed for hours, and lays below Portland like a mirror. This image was taken at around 4:00 AM. Tired yet?
I decided not to color correct this. Reciprocity characteristics of color film favor reds, and I like it for this image.

Sinar P / Schneider Symmar 150mm / Agfa MCP paper negative
A really clean one! Just little amounts of green rust here and there, but nothing serious, and the glass of the Elmar is really clean. It is from around my area, and has really been used but well taken care of. I bought it from a camera shop, a little expensive, pehaps, as they know what they sell, but I don't regret it. They didn't really inspect it too much, as they had bought it the day before from a customer that brought it to the store; they just show me all this stuff when I go there, as they know I am a serious case of GAS. If they had inspected it, they would have noticed the hand made exposure chart hidden in the 'pocket' of the leather case. Looks really old, written in my language; the last line reads "beach: f16+ASA speed'. They knew what they did.

See, I found this in the evilbay for peanuts. If the owner had imagined that this artifact was remotely related to Lomography it would have costed more for sure. Nice gizmo.

Another one from the file of Lacey ...more than two (!!) years ago. I promise this is my last test tease until I post exactly what I'm up to with these ... very soon.
This isn't 100 percent film, because I put a fake rebate border on the left just to balance it out, since I liked it on the rest of the image. It was a very minor crop I had no intention of ever posting, but turned out to like it a lot more than I thought.
Shot on 4x5 Kodak TMAX 100 on an old Calumet 4x5 camera ... I think it had a 250mm lens on it. All ambient light in an alleyway.

William Henry Jackson's original stereo view of Cheyenne's roundhouse. The left and right hand images were apparently not shot on a stereo camera on a single sheet of film. However, it seems Jackson was scheduled to photograph an auspicious event in Utah.
As you can see below, I did an extensive edit but left it ostensibly old.

We have had this cabinet card for years but I am still puzzled by its meaning. What would be an ordinary portrait of a young man has a triangle cut away from the lower right corner to show a large studio camera on a pedestal with a photographer under a dark cloth before an elaborate painted backdrop. Is this a photograph of the photographer or has it been added as an advertisement for the sophistication of this studio?
I read the text on the card front as "Chas. A. Gates, Photo. Over Post Office, Watkins, N.Y." I am unsure about the first name since it is handwritten. I can not find any Gates to match this. If any flickr poster has information on a Gates working in Watkins, NY in the 19th century I would be glad to hear about it.
I have added an enlarged detail of the corner in my photostream.
