Not a camera I own, but one which was lend to me, features in a small stop motion video I created. The dream of a Linhof Kardan Master GTL can be found here:

I'm also working on a series of taking pictures of large format cameras taking pictures. Not too original, I guess, but it's fun.
I never seen a shot like this one - clever !

You might want to remind Uncle DeardorffOriginally Posted by TrePiedi
A couple weeks ago I took the plunge into LF photography. I've been shooting film since my high school photo class days in the late 90s. More recently I got into medium format when I purchased a Rolleiflex last year and have been having a lot of fun with that. My uncle is a photographer and shot LF professionally and as a fine artist for years, and so I always was curious to try LF myself. So a couple weeks ago I bought a 4x5 Wisner Expedition at B&H. The Expedition model is the same as their technical field model but is made of lighter weight material and weighs a couple pounds less. I haven't shot with it yet, as I'm still acquiring all the various lenses and gear that I will need. Later this month I will be at a family reunion with my uncle who is going to bring his Deardorff and give me some LF lessons. Here are some pics of the Wisner, including one taken next to a 5x7/4x5 Deardorff at B&H for comparison.
This is a 180mm lens that I'm going to return. I'm going to get a 150mm. I also picked up a 105mm for wide angle.

Do you have problems with focus creep with the camera pointed downwards?

That camera is one handsome piece of equipment.
No problem with focus creep -- as long as everything is locked down. However, it is a heavy lens -- and I mean heavy -- much like my Fujinon T 600mm f12. They both cause the front standard to bend forward a little. All I need to do is tilt the front standard a little backwards. Problem solved.Looks like the same Toko I have

Wista M450 Mark-1 produced in 1978, and to the bottom right, a skeleton of a Linhof Kardan Color 5x7 Mark-2 produced in 1959
Calumet 8x10, sitting on Monfrotto 400 and then on a Majestic/Zone VI combo.
Here is a rare bird or so I am told. It is a 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 Toyo View with a 5 x7 back. Another rarity is the lens board adapter which takes Linhof boards. Here shown with my 8 1/4" Wollensak Graphic Raptar and new red bellows.
