Deardorff Special with a Richard Ritter-made Sinar back doing a little table-top work.
Out for a walk today with my Speed Graphic and a 6" Darlot Petzval.

It should have a brass ring on the bottom that tripod legs attach to, however at some point that was removed and a plate, I'd guess wooden, screwed over the base presumably with a modern tripod mount. That was not with the camera when I bought it.
So at the moment I'm not sure how I'll mount it :D

My # 1 & favorite camera... '40s Deardorff w/ reducing back for the long shot near Ghost Ranch
Try not to laugh... :)
I'm actually most comfortable with this....and use it the most....an older Toyo D45M w/ double bellows and extension...
Has 12" Dagor in (crappy) optimo, but looks even more interesting with a No. 4 Vitax...:D

It's kind of a crappy shot and the filter holder was a little crooked, but oh well. It's a pretty camera none the less and it's my favorite user.
