Recently picked up a Graphic View II for $135, and received a Speed from a very generous Jim Graves. The GVII arrived with an Ysarex 127mm sorta-kinda jammed in the board with duct-tape. The front element, well-buffed, presumably for a soft-focus effect. I left it home, instead grabbed the Trinar 135mm I've had for many months, and managed a couple of 3 shots on Acros sheets. One, from the Speed, yesterday, and the latter two came off the GVII this afternoon.
I've got a ton (and then some) to learn about both cameras and LF in general, but I've been hungry to step up to 4x5 for a long time. Which is to say, while sharing, I know all 3 leave much to be desired. Also looks like I need to check the Speed for a leak, but should be easy to plug.
This community (and my own) have been very helpful in my pursuit of information about 4x5 photography. So, thanks, while I'm at it.
Best,
C.
