Show off your Large Format camera!

Hi Keith
The camera is a 10x8 Gandolfi Precision, now called Traditional. Not shown in the pic is the front swing attachment which makes it a bit more versatile, but not with wide angles. It also has a 5x4 reducing back.
I haven't taken many photographs with it yet, when the weather warms up I shall start.

Thanks Keith

Here's a photo of me with my MPP - and a link to the photos I was taking that day.

I see you are using it as a press camera. I only use mine on a tripod and use a focus magnifier. Another accessory that came with the camera is called a Polyfocus-finder. That fits on the flash shoe on top of the camera and is adjusted to similate the focal length of the lens on the camera. If you can find one, you might find it easier to use than the sports-finder.
It might be worth considering a monopod Matt, as the camera would feel quite hefty after a while of hand holding.
some nice images on your site too.

Here is mine. I took this before acquiring a new tripod head. The other photo is the rest of my gear. It is 35mm and digital, all Nikon.

I never understood the point of collecting cameras...I would rather have equipment that I would actually use...To each his own, I guess.
