Show off your Large Format camera!

[durr3]

Dan, It is a NOBA Model 5 portrait camera. Shoots 5x7, 4x5 and 2x3 formats, as well as roll film adapter. These were made in Mexico back in the 1960s and 1970s, and were quite poplar for studio work. This sucker is HugE and HeavY, but will take super portraits. I use a 10 inch f6.3 lens most of the time. I have other pics available if anyone is interested.

thanks

Looking for something more modular, smaller and lighter.

I don't have this anymore. This is me in the 80s, and I thought I would post it here just for the interest/shock value. Does anyone know what it is? The part that was cool at the time was how the back panel folded out, and then the back kept extending out from there. Close it all up, and it was just a leather-covered box.

There's a bigger version, if you want a closer look, at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mdarnt...05911/sizes/l/ I wish I still had it--I didn't realize at the time how cool it was--and in pretty good condition, too!

I can read "diffused focus" on the lens in the large version......

It's a Rochester Optical Company Reversible Back Premo. Looks like the 8x10 version.

Awesome. I even like that you shot it with the Ricoh, one of my favorite cameras ever.

[DaveS]

Thanks. The Ricoh is a pocket rocket. The Ebony is more of a horse drawn carriage.

Really struggling with a solution for a tripod combo for the ritter 8x10... Getting frustrated

I ise this http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11401...xe=exe,ext=ext

and an Arca Cube for my 11x14 and my 8x10. I get flamed here for my Cube but it is the best. If I had bought this setup first, I mever would have had the dozen or so crappy tripods and heads I've bought over the years.
