My four largest cameras tip the scale at a combined weight of 24 lbs. (almost 11 kg. for you folks across the pond). How bad is it at your house?

The bayonet mount of the first generation of Kiev SLRs was replaced from the Kiev 17 onwards for a copy of the Nikon propietary bayonet. See the wheel on the top right corner? This is the aperture knob, the only way to control lens aperture. Do you follow? This is the device that makes sure that Kiev SLR lenses won't be used on anything else, which is the reason why Kiev lenses are cheaper compared to their equivalents in other mounts. Sometimes you can find M39 adapters (to fit early Zenit lenses on Kiev bodies, that is) in ebay, which I'm planning to buy, just to mount my Helios 40 on my Kiev 15. Gross ;)

Linhof Kardan Standard / Schneider Symmar / Forte Polywarmtone direct paper shot
Cute, innit? Well, this one has seen better times, but it's not really in a bad shape. A little brassing here and there, some peeling on the glossy paint... but anything serious. All in all, I got it for a mere 50 bucks at evilbay, from a Russian seller. This time Russian roulette has not been all that bad for me. I lke very much the Industar 22 that came with the body, which has no 'ear' lever. I found this curious because I thought that they only made them with the lever. Mine is a red 'P' also, which means that the quality of the coating is the best the Russians had at the moment. Or so I've been told... It's not that I'm going to shoot with the I22 too much, because I bought a nickel Helios 44 in like new condition that operates sooooo smoothly. I really love it. Period.
My first "real" large format view camera. The Graphic View was a very popular camera because it was so good, and the relatively large number of them available mean that the prices are very low. That, combined with the quality of my Graflex Super Graphic press camera convinced me that this was the right camera to get.
This camera is in very good condition (I even have the metal lensboard, but it was in a case with deteriorated felt, so I can't use it until I clean it out), and it works perfectly. The one obvious problem is the lack of the Graflex Graphic View's most iconic feature, the red bellows. Its a small price to pay, however, since the bellows have obviously been replaced recently and are in much better condition than the original red bellows would have been. Eventually I will replace these with some red leather bellows to match the original style, but for now this is fine.
Pictures taken with this camera can be found here.

An old 5X7 in view camera with an old Kodak lens (f7.7) taken from a folding camera of the same year.
Notice that a homemade wooden spacer has been placed behind the lens on the front plate. A 5X7 Film holder is sitting on top and the 'view finder' is up and ready.
Orton and Focal Blur effect added with Picnik.
While waiting for the fog to clear up enough for a shot of the Golden Gate bridge (which never happened), I killed some time finding some other compositions. This is a 52 second exposure at f45 with 5-stops of ND and an additional 2-stop ND grad over the sky.

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.

This is the part I get the most frustration from when I try to deal with my Kiev 15 TEE, the auto exposure controls. Can you believe that I cannot figure out how to get these to work? I tried to get an English version manual of the camera without much success. All what I found is an online version so awfully translated that it is completely useless.
Any explanation on how to use the auto mode or even the light meter will be welcome, of course :)
The beautiful speed control wheel is a signature of Arsenal Zavod. Very similar ones were used in Kiev 6s and 60 bodies, Kiev 60 and 88 prisms and the last versions of Kiev rangefinders. Can't tell you why, but I just love it.
