    Nagaoka 45

    Saw one today that also has a 5x7 back with it. Anyone recommend it or stay away for 5x7? I also have a Kodak 2D 5x7 but this camera is so much smaller and am considering buying it.
  3. Re: Help - 4x5 Negative Developing Issue - Looking for Ideas

    I used it to develop a couple of 5x7 sheets in a tray put in the Photoflex changing room because I don't have a lightproof area to develop it.

    Re: Still Life 2022

    This is from a 5x7 that was developed in a monobath that was too old. I scanned it and processed it the best I know how and ended up with this.

    Re: Help - Double Image/Ghosting on Graflex

    To check a front surface mirror just put a finger or pencil eraser on the mirror, if there is a gap between the image and object then it's not a front surface mirror.

    What would you do with this?

    I don't have a lens or holders or a stand so I don't know if it's worth pursuing. The back slides to different positions and looks like 5x7 but I didn't have a tape measure with me.
