Daniel That is one thing of beauty! Love those 5x7" camera!
my camera that i built. i am responsible for any mechanical and technical failures, it is based off the body of a polaroid 150 pathfinder, with a polaroid 900 rangefinder. It has been welded and shaped, and looks uglier that hell. The lens is a xenotar 150mm 2.8, it shoots dedicated 4x5 instant pack films like fuji fp100c45, etc. I make these for my other photographer friends as well, but they look prettier
Me with one of my babies, an east german studio monster Globica 13x18cm with Zeiss Tessar 250/4.5 I use it for BW and wet plate.
Very nice, szadow. And cool glasses!
I have two LF cameras. My Ebony RW-45 (favored child) and a Horseman LE, which I've tried selling — unsuccessfully — for several years now.
Here's the Ebony:
On assignment for Portland Monthly magazine.
Glamour shot, giving up the sexy yet totally impractical "S-curve."
On Mt. Hood after shooting "The Overlook Hotel"
I love my Ebony, I will sell every other piece of gear and the cats before I ever give it up.
And despite not being able to sell it, I actually got to use the Horseman recently. A colleague and I used it on a pro-bono job he had with Doernbecher Children's Hospital/Nike.
See it here.
My newest addition - an Ebony SV57U. It took a few years of saving pennies and horse trading a few cameras to finally get one.

Another Ebony SV57U, in mahogany. It was my "retirement present" and has the 4x5 back too. I bought it for the versatility of using larger lenses on Sinar boards, two sheet film formats, and the 617 roll film backs. Amazingly it will use lenses from 55mm to 600mm + 4" without changing bellows. I discovered it's so versatile that I can't carry everything it will use in a car, much less on my back.
Cheers, Steve
