Schneider-Kreuznach G-Claron 305mm f/9 Lens mounted in a Copal #1 shutter, in excellent condition. This is about the widest lens around that will give complete coverage, even with some subtle movements. Incredibly sharp lens, I've been very happy with it.
This evening I (sort of) finished the re-assembly of my Deadorff V8. Now I just have the epic task of constructing an 8x10 tapered, square cornered bellows.
This is the final steps in the restoration of a Burke & James Grover 4x5 camera. No more battleship gray! Brand new bellows. Brand new tripod mounting block (the original one was missing).
When I think that I had this one sitting in a box in the basement for 20 years... All it needs now is a lens.

These four postcards show a boy with a variety of cameras, including one that appears to be an early Kodak, photographing an Easter rabbit with a basket of eggs.

I'm not cleaning up the negatives because they are all not in good condition. i just felt like sharing them. So please don't point this out to me.

Ah! I love Kievs. Contrary to what most evilbay Russian sellers say, it's not a copy, but the legal continuation of the original Contax II. The Kiev 5 is the try made at Arsenal to evolve the concept of the camera. Evolve what? Contax II? They could not be serious. To be true: this is just a Kiev 4 without a cap for the selenium meter. One has to admit that the viewfinder, with its projected lines is good, though; anywhere near Leica M or Canon 7 but pretty good...

Linhof Kardan Standard / Jupiter 11 / Agfa MCP paper negative
I attatched the J-11 on a linhof front plate just to see if it covered the whole 9x12 area and... well, it does not, but it still amazes me how those Zeiss designs cover perfectly well 6x6 and even 6x9. Anyway, the vignetting looks like barrel occlusion, because the definition doesn't really fall dramatically in the edges. I don't really think this will be a shooting rig I will use very much, I did only for the sake of experimenting with lenses; I'm not disappointed at all with the results.

Just try and google the title of this picture and you will find many results in Russian ebay stores and wiki pages. The sentence is very often literally copied from Princelle's book on Soviet cameras. Apart from proving that most Russian ebay sellers are pretty unimaginative, it shows us that they really didn't value too much their own camera production, as it has taken a foreigner like Princelle to show them that what was produced in their own country really has some value.
Copying is not bad 'per se', but well, in this case I guess it is, because the sentence is a part of a copyright document, but my point is not that.
I will explain myself: Princelle is a great researcher, a giant of iconomecanophily, and many of us owe him almost all we know about Soviet and Russian cameras. But even Princelle makes mistakes. I'm not speaking here about the numerous parts of the english version of the book with expressions with meaning lost in translation, heavy use of false friends, or entire paragraphs that have inadvertently been left in the original french, no.
Princelle, this giant of communication is sometimes wrong: the Zenitar 2/50 is, by no means, 'a pretty new version of the aging Helios'. I'm pointing here not just at differences in a cosmetic or mechanical sense, but also optical formula: I've not radiographiated the thing, but the Zenitar forcefully has to be a different formula from the Helios, a Biotar design, as it does not share its 'personality', beggining with the well known swirling bokeh. You see, sometimes even the best of the best are wrong.

Cyclop watching you.
New (last !?) step in format, a 4X5 camera. Not first for the larger film, but for tilt and shift.
Sinar F2 + Symmar-S MC f5.6 150mm.
Graflex 6X7 back.
Waiting for a large tripod head (here it's directly on the tripod base, so no movment, little frustrating)
On the wish list :
- Polaroid/Fuji pack backs to put my fuji fp-100/3000 packs, and the 45 version too.
- Sony/Minolta back adapter.
This was from my other Senior project. The project was inspired by Michael Wolf's work in "The Transparent City". These are scanned 4x5's. I was exploring the very short window during the day where you can see into the windows of buildings but there is still ambient light in the sky. This was possibly one of my favorite projects ever, the photos turned out beautiful, I printed them HUGE in the dark room so the colors are just amazing.
(also the building to the right is one of Columbia's buildings ---my school) and used to work at the hotel haha so i love this photo
Anyway, I hope you like it!

I couldn't believe my luck when I found this camera in a shabby antique store in my area. Once again, I paid dearly for it. Well, not so much, but much more than I wanted to pay. Even, though, it is a fraction of its real value.
The shutter works, and I'm going to take some pictures with it this week, just to see how the triplet 135mm f6.8 lens performs.
It is really exciting having this beautiful and very rare camera in my hands.
Shot with "Geometry" , the SLR to View Camera Conversion I have designed and constructed , using a Pentax K10d and a Mir 26B at f/16 with tilt at both front and rear standard .

Shot directly into the sun, light and scene made me pull over the car right away.

The springhouse on the grounds of the Conrad Weiser Homestead in Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania. The homestead celebrates and interprets the life and times of Conrad Weiser, a colonial diplomat who mediated the peace between Pennsylvania and the powerful Iroquois Nation prior to 1760. Weiser was also Berks County's first judge. Springhouses were an essential part of every farm, A pipe would carry water from a nearby stream and channel the water through a trough in the springhouse floor. Milk and butter and other perishables would be sitting on the floor in containers and would be kept cool by the running water underneath. When the homestead is open they sometimes have historical reenactors who show visitors how the operation works in the springhouse.

I'm using the Mod 54 developing system and it's easier for me to load 4x5 for development with it than 120 onto a metal spool, unless I happen to get really lucky. Big negatives are fun!
Experimenting with a wide DOF with this composition.
I took my meter reading directly from the top of the standing water, would have liked a little more boost in the highlight areas and in the leaves so i probably could have taken my meter reading off to the right of the frame and in a slightly more shaded area.
