I have been shooting with a 4x5 view camera lately and these are some of the photos I have shot. Sorry for the bad scans.
Gelatin-silver photograph on Agfa Classic MCC 111 VC FB photographic paper, image size 16.5cm X 21.3cm, from a Tmax 100 4x5 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a Schneider Super Angulon 90mm f8 lens.
Titled and signed recto, stamped verso.
Expired T Max 100 sheet film, processed in Wineol (red wine developer), 45 minutes. I'm not sure what caused the streaking, but I think it's because I didn't filter my solution.

Taken with 4x5 Bender + Rodenstock Grandagon N 90mm f/6,8. It was like seeing large curtains revealing the stage of an opera.
These are from a second round of testing with the Arista Ortho Litho film. Starting to get it dialed in I believe. These again were shot on my Cambo 4x5. This was a two light setup with the main light being a Paul C Buff White Lighting X1600 with the 86 inch PLM. The rim light was an Alien Bees with 7 inch reflector with a 30 degree grid.
These were shot with my 210mm Schneider-Kreuznach 5.6 lens at 5.6. The main strobe was set at full power and the rim light about a half stop less than full. I dragged the shutter for about 4 seconds to allow the ambient light to burn in on the background.
I shot these to experiment with the development time a little bit. I then scanned them all in at the same settings to see the difference.
This was developed in a 1+150 dilution of Rodinal at 68 degrees for 7 minutes.
7 minutes seems to give the best negative, at least for scanning. The contrast is just about right in these shots I think.
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 19.6cm X 24.4cm, from a 8x10 Kodak Tmax 400 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a Fujinon-W 300mm f5.6 lens. Titled, signed, and stamped verso.
The day was bleak and still and the bones of the distant building implied that whatever contaminated the land was most virulent. I went no further.
Photographed with Cambo Actus View Camera. The camera was positioned in the middle of the mirror but is invisible because of a shift of the camera to the right. A fragmented view is to be seen in the reflection of the vase because I used a white focus hood! This is the adventure of view camera technics!!
Crappy film in good cameras, part 2: 1949-expired Defender XF Pan 4x5 film in a Conley view camera. Exposed ISO 20, 1 second @ f22.
Gelatin-silver photograph on Fomabrom Variant 111 VC FB, image area 24.7cm X 19.6cm, from a Fomapan 200 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD 8x10 triple extension field view camera fitted with a 400mm f11 single meniscus lens and a #25 red filter.
If I had to highlight one Y2011 photography-related event, it probably would be building something that counts as a polaroid view camera. And getting those images exhibited in a real gallery.
The bellows look like they're in great shape for a camera that's somewhere between 60 and 90 years old.
EDIT: From the serial number, I was able to determine it was made in 1923.
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ilford MG IV VC FB photographic paper, image size 19.5cm X 24.6cm, from a 8x10 Kodak Tmax 400 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a Fujinon-W 300mm f5.6 lens. Titled, signed, and stamped verso.
The ground is still hot and the fire continues to smoulder in the distance. My wooden camera is safe from ignition because a fireproof aluminium tripod keeps it above the embers.

This is the only clue of where the camera was assembled. In the film compartment there is a label which reads собрано в россии сп светозор, 'assembled in Russia in a joint venture with Svetozor'. This qualifies it as a Russian made camera in its own right. Princelle wrote in 'Russian' cameras about the two tries of the Soviet industry in making an Instant camera. Well, the cameras are there, but Princelle claims that the Russians 'never got the films right', and the few cameras that actually made could never be used. The Soviets even made a 9x12 camera model, the Uchenik, to use the spare parts from the 'Moment', the firs attempt at making a Soviet instant camera.
Looks like in the late eighties, just before the collapse of the USSR, Polaroid and the Russian government started a joint venture, Svetozor, to assemble cameras in Russia, which, according to Camerapedia, lasted until 1999.
What I don't know is if the cameras were actually made in Russia or just assembled. I've looked for an engraving, embossing or label on the camera, the instructions or the packaging and the only thing I found was this.
Do someone know somthing about the codes under the 'assembled in' line? Is this some sort of series number? Is this standard for Polaroid?
Gelatin-silver photograph on Agfa Classic MCC 111VC FB, image area 16.2cm X 21.5cm, from a Tmax 100 4x5 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF field view camera with a 21cm f4.5 Voigtlander Heliar lens working at f32.
4x5 reducing back for the 5x7 Agfa view camera project. It shows its age in the darkened brass and peeling clear lacquer finish, but it's not warped, has no cracked or broken wood, and has no broken or missing metal parts. Even the ground glass is in decent shape should clean up nicely. Overall, it's a nice accessory for the camera outfit.
Gundlach Korona VI view camera. This is what is should look like.
"Korona Series VI camera was manufactured by Gundlach Optical Company in circa 1900. Designed for the professional or expert amateur as a universal camera. Adaptable for many purpose including telephoto to hand camera work. For wide angle work the front bed drops down to clear the field of view. The Series VI may be focused from the rear or front with a fine rack and pinion adjustment. It has a reversible back with spring actuated ground glass and reversible brilliant view finder. Rising and falling front, lateral front adjustment, vertical and horizontal swings. Three lens were available to compliment the long bellows, a Symmetrical, a Rectigraphic, and the Turner-Reich lens. This camera was available in 4 x 5, 5 x 7; 6 1/2 x 8 1/2; and 8 x 10 sizes. Price in 1902 ranged from $37.00 to $75.00 dollars."(www.historiccamera.com).
Just finished refurbishing this Graflex Crown Graphic. Bare wood finish fresh wrinkle coat paint job, complete with swing modified front standard and a cool wooden tripod. Old brass lens from Kodak 5x7 camera.
its up for sale now.
Scanned as postitive. An over-exposed collodion positive is very flat but makes for a dense negative for contact printing.
An old scan of a1957 photo that I took with a view camera on Polaroid film.
Nancy is sitting in a Babee-Tenda which we bought from a door-to-door salesman in 1952 before the birth of our first child, Gary. Nancy's mother guessed the nirth date and we got the whole unit for the initial down paymnt.
It was used by all four children.
