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.

Part of a series I did for school called Southern California Uniquely. Good old film here, 4x5 negative (HP5) scanned.
Final B+W version of the Film Called Wanda photo I posted a few weeks ago. This was a better scan (and scanned the right way round) and processed in CS5. Quite happy with this image. Taken on a Cambo SC 5x7 studio view camera with a Shen Hao 6x17 roll film adapter for 5x7 and using a 120 mm Super Angulon.
Original version here for comparison:
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 5 minutes.
At five minutes the contrast is greatly reduced compared to the 7 minute development. These came out a little flat while using the same settings. I may rescan them and see how they look when the setting are optimized.

Santa, could you bring me a nice 4x10 for Christmas so I don't have to keep half-assing it with these rear shift stitch jobbies? I mean sure, CS3's PhotoMerge command does the difference mode stairstep math magick with mostly flawness results, but come on—wouldn't the real thing just make more sense? So much nicer to compose, too! And a center filter for my Schneider 90mm would be nice too. Sure Vignette=GAF, (and is even endorsed by Saint Ansel from what I've heard. I couldn't get through the first two books, didn't bother buying the 3rd) but even luminosity across the board does seem appealing for these panos. Sure would be nice if Lightroom lifted the 10,000 pixel limit. Hmph.
At age 21 Zack, my youger son, is studying photography and non-fiction writing at Columbia College in Chicago, IL. The camera he is holdng is a 4x5 Crown Graphic view camera I purchased used while studying journalism at Baker University, Baldwin City, KS in 1968.

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.
