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

This is a composite image made from three scanned 8x10 negatives.
This picture demonstrates that it is possible to achieve some level of spontaneity with a view camera. I was driving by and saw this scene and couldn't pass it up. It's a matter of reacting quickly, I set the camera up away from the kids so that I would not disturb them too much, I then walked up and planted the camera and tripod on the asphalt 15 feet away from them and started to focus. If you react swiftly, set up in a purposeful manner, you can become inconspicuous, and will often be rewarded for it.
On the other hand I think there is some advantage to using a view camera for a picture like this. People are less likely to get animated or upset than they might if I was doing this on a tripod with a 35mm slr. My subjects tend to appreciate what's going on more seriously and often are interested in the process, and almost always become willing participants.

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."

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.
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.

I wanted to make sure I captured this rose I gave my Wife last week for Valentines Day before it wilted. Times like this call for hauling out the 5x7 large format film camera and the big, sharp Repromaster process lens.
Technical details:
Burke and James 5x7 large format film camera.
Repromaster 213mm F9 1:1 process lens. This is a shutter-less barrel lens.

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.
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.
I set up a test this morning with the Burke And James 5x7 camera and the 4x5 film back-mounted and that Repromaster F9 213mm process lens I purchased for $10 a little while back (see www.flickr.com/photos/greggobst/15905915887/). I wanted to see what sort of look I could get out of the lens so I setup a set of white roses in a vase and using a lens cap as a shutter I created this image. The exposure was four seconds at F32 with about 10 degrees of forward tilt on the front standard to keep all layers of the group of flowers in even focus. I used Arista EDU Ultra 200 film (Rebranded Fomapan 200) rated at ISO 160. I lit the scene with four fluorescent 80 watt bulbs inside a 28" Westcott Apollo softbox placed camera left and had a 30" white reflector bouncing light back onto the subject from camera right. The development was in Rodinal 1:50 for 7 minutes @ 20 degrees Celsius using a Beseler 8x10 print drum placed on Unicolor Uniroller 352 auto-reversing rotary base.
These process lenses were meant to be used by the printing industry in 1:1 color separation applications and never meant to be used in traditional photography but as you can see they are pretty sharp performers.

I bought for cheap (in relation to its actual price) this FED Summar. I know it didn't work too well, as according to the description by its vendor, the blades were stuck. Not too much of a problem, I thought, as this is easily repaired, maybe 30 bucks if you don't dare to do it yourself. So I bought.
But it turned it wasn't so cheap, as there were more issues apart of those described by the scammer who sold it to me.
Just for the sake of playing, I attached it to a Zenit S. Yes, i know that this is like shootting through an extension tube, but I just wanted do see image through this lens. To my dismay, I dound the image strangely dark; thus, I began to suspect I had been scammed. I don't have a Leica M digital, so to test focus I attached a ground glass to the back of my Canon 7s rangefinder and set it in 'T' exposure mode. It was impossible to focus, it was so so far from infinity.
I had a theory, but to confirm it I had to disassemble the lens, something I don't feel comfortable doing normally, and what i found was to confirm my thoughts. Just two elements, one at the rear and one at the front; nothing in the middle except for a poorly mounted iris. Sigh.
