I'm playing with some large format lenses I've accumulated, and trying out my new Mod 54 developing kit. All in this series had front downward tilt. All were taken at the same height and tilt. All were taken using a White Lighting x3200 with a 24x36 softbox with a grid in front of the white panel because that was necessary to get the light level down to f/8. I chose f/8 as the maximum because of the Ektar's maximum of 7.7. These are all 600dpi scans.
These were all focused by eye only because I couldn't find my loupe, so there is probably some variability due to that. To me the Fuji doesn't look to be the sharpest, and I guess that is because of the different contrast which is probably because it's the newest lens and has the most modern coatings. But it is the sharpest of these.
My willing model, a bust of Hiawatha, has been in the family since 1900 or so. I am the current caretaker. He is made of plaster and was a carnival prize originally. He has been broken and repaired several times in his life.
If I can draw any conclusion from this very non-scientific test, using unknown cheap Chinese 100 ASA film and TMax RS at an arbitrary 6 minutes at 25 degrees C, it is that they are all very sharp lenses, and the Mod 54 is super easy to use. Next round will be older lenses when I make a lensboard adapter for their various sizes.
My nw toy camera. I've made 2 portraits today, may be 4 more today afternoon. If they are quite good i'll post them here.
The late John Phillips, a well-known Toronto photographer, photographs the children on Baldwin Street. See this series of 14 photos on my local history website. They were all his neighbours, as he lived only a few doors down the street.

Front rise.
Something went berzerk withe the dev so the emulsion craked up...what you se is NOT grain but a defekt of the dev. I have no ide what happend.
This is the second test shot "selfie" of a new batch of Arista Ortho Litho film that I got in the other day.
I developed this in a 1+150 dilution of Rodinal at 68 degrees for 7 minutes and then fixed with TF-4 for 7 minutes. It definitely brought out more detail in the highlights than the one developed for 10 minutes. I may do another one and try for 5 minutes just to see what happens.
This one had some interesting artifacts show up and I'm not really sure where they came from. There is a line along the left side of the image that appears under-developed, some marks on the shadow side of the face and a line along the transfer edge between the diffused highlight and the shadow that looks almost like the Sabatier Effect. Not sure where these came from but they are kind of cool looking.
I shot this on my Cambo 4x5 with my Schneider-Kreuznach 210mm 5.6 lens. I stood about 1 1/2 to 2 feet away from the camera so that I could reach the shutter release cable, so the depth of field is razor thin - maybe about a centimeter. I managed to get my eye pretty well in focus, but I had to fire the strobe three times during the exposure and I wasn't perfectly still so there is some movement evident there.
I lit the image with my Paul C Buff White Lightning X1600 at full power with a 47 inch gridded octabox about a foot and a half away. I rated the film at about ISO 3 and had to fire the strobe 3 times at full power with the aperture set wide open at 5.6 to achieve the calculated exposure (It's actually about 4/10 of a stop over exposed)
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.
Got to invite lovely friend Hannah to Jay Javier's studio after a few non-handsome dudes have been dicking around with the 5x7 view camera. Shot this one from the session myself, and blame the soft focus effect to this being my first ever shot in large format. Lit with studio lights, shot through an Industar-51 210mm lens on Ilford Photographic Paper.

This is NOT photoshopped!!! Keep reading-Shot on a large format view camera 4x5 chrome film. I printed this in the dark room with a color head and adjusted the color filters to achieve these colors. Printed on Kodak paper for negative film. Knowing the colors would be reversed I used green apples so they would be red in the photo.

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.
