Chamonix 045f1.. Really starting to fall in love with this camera! Starting to get used to it after the tragic loss of my Toyo.
Sinar F2.. Ye olde faithful. Love using this camera but finding it more apparent I need to get a wide angle bellows. I get more movements for 90mm and 150mm out of the Chamonix, funnily enough.
Tachi 8x10 being harassed by freshly weened calfs. Started chewing my dark cloth!
All these cameras have been travelling with me the last week or so up through the centre of the Eastern states of Oz, i was worried I wouldn't use one of them at all, but they've all had equal use
Sorry the first two pics don't really show off the hardware too well. Just some instagram shots.
Love the tub!

I'll trade you my toyo45a for that chamonix45
They are all really nice looking, especially the Tachi
Not as nice as some of the others posted but here is mine.... Burke & James Orbit 4x5 (Gotta love a Redhead!)
This is my very first Large Format camera and I came by it quite by accident a couple months ago helping clean out an abandoned photo studio.
The building had been vacant for 10 or so years and the new owner just wanted everything thrown out.
I was able to acquire many more things but the camera is the important item.
For sitting so long it was in rough condition but after 3 weeks of tearing it down, cleaning and polishing all the metal it transformed into this beauty but beforehand, I took the camera to Central Camera here in Chicago to have it checked out and its on perfect working order.
It came with a lens that was nothing special and not in good condition so that made it into the trash except the shutter which was still good, the lens was full of fungus.
I did need a lens so....
Since I got pretty much everything I needed to get started for free, I was able to splurge on a lens.
The lens is a new unused Rodenstock Sironar-N 210mm 5.6 MC which I got extremely lucky finding on eBay in Spain.
The lens board is also new from a gentleman who makes lens boards here in Chicago who I also found on eBay.
Just one more item to get which you can see, the cracked ground glass but I may just try and make one myself.
Anyhoo, I'm very excited to give Large Format a try....

Zero, I am in Chicago. If you want to make a GG, it is easy.
Go to APUG and find IanG's tutorial.
Once you have read and understood his instructions, I will give you the grit needed in 2 35mm film cans. You don't need much. PM me.
Buy 8x10" glass at Home Depot. Cutting glass is easy after a few attempts.
You can make a nice GG while watching a movie and working at a small table.

Addendum.
Your existing GG has a pretty normal crack and really does not get in the way of taking pictures at all.
Use that GG as is, it is a good one.

That would be fantastic, thank you Randy!
Yes, I found his along with a few other tutorials... doesn't seem hard at all.
PM sent....
Out shooting some Velvia 100 and IR820, the camera, the scene...
