    Linhof Viewfinder Gadget

    I have one of the earlier finders (when you zoom it all the way out, the image gets really tiny) and I love it -- but I have the Tech IV camera to go with it. Without the camera, owning it...
  4. Back to the future-what about glass plates?

    what about a cambo twr?

    I don't know about your Cambo camera, but I have considered the Gowlandflex for the same purpose. I think you would be better off with a camera like my Linhof Tech IV (with rangefinder and multi ...

    "hand- picked" lenses

    I have my own "hand picked" system. I buy what lenses I can when I can. I shoot with them, sometimes 100s of times, and then decide if I want to keep them. I currently have lenses from several...
  10. Back to the future-what about glass plates?
