Well, when I brought home the camera, that is where it was put. The cats are used to it being there. I moved it around a little to take that picture, but the cat was okay with it. It didn't go near her, so she just stayed put.

Why the big camera? Well, mostly to save it from winding up in a dumpster along with all those lenses I posted a picture of back in April/May. The photog's son wanted to use his late father's darkroom for etching electronic parts or something like that and needed to clean it out. I repaired the bellows with the B&S repair kit and wanted to give it a try.

Jorge, this camera is not going outside again unless we are moving to a house. It is strictly a studio thing. I lugged my Wehman 8x10 to the balloon glow last Friday evening and was pooped out by the end of the night. I have to move the camera to the kitchen table in order to use that Voigtlander to shoot something all the way across the room by the tv set. It is about 638 mm.
