Nice Ari!

I own exactly the same beast, but regretfully it sees little use these days. I find contact prints less rewarding than 4*5 enlargements made in the darkroom. Initially I bought the Toyo for alt prints, mainly platinum prints, but perhaps it's sacrilege and or my lack of talent in platinum printing but I have not been able to produce brilliant Pt prints which really satisfy me.

But when I work with the camera it's an absolute joy to work with: rigid, solid and precise. A friend of my owns a Canham but it's no comparison in rigidity, it's in weight off course is half of mine.

I transport it in this:

Thank you, Cor; you helped enormously when I was deciding upon the 810M, thank you again.
Like you, I find it a real pleasure using the Toyo, the weight doesn't make any difference to me, and it is ultra-stable with most of the movements you might need.
Next time, though, I'd like to hear that you have been using it almost daily!
Nice transportation set-up you have, too.

Variation on a theme. Just another Cooke. This is the Series XV, the old version of the XVa on a Gandolfi 8x10.

Sweet! And you have the lens hood, too!

[William Whitaker]

Yes, that hood is a bit unusual, I've heard.

Wow, nice setup! I'll bet that stops traffic...
