Here is my lovely and pristine 4X5, however, I had not expected it to be harder to use for me, so, I am selling it now! I don't plan on being a quitter, and I am shooting my 6X6 still, however, I have very little time these days, sadly! I will eventually buy another in the future as I gain better employment hours, plus I do plan on getting an 8X10 to shoot those lovely Polaroids! I plan on using the funds raised to buy a decent light meter, and to fix my Nikon FA!

May I ask what was hard to use about it?

Testing out the new (to me) vehicle that replaced my Saab car with 249,000 miles...

This works much better for LF! Camera rain cover in adverse weather and platform for lenses and sitting for long exposures! Can't wait to go off road! (Don't worry I'm still hiking too, but also doing from the car work when appropriate).

Aren't these beautiful? I have one too, and the wood is stamped in several places with a number, in my case ’4'. Is yours similarly marked?

Don't expect the trunk to stay up perfectly in cold weather. The shocks fail in colder weather sometime, but it's still convenient.

Still driving my 2000 9-5 and 1991 se convertible. Not so many miles though. Probably 2 years left in the 9-5 before rust ruins it.

My Anba Woodview (model with rear swings). Serial number 4?

Ditto on the hatch of that Forester. My wife has one of the same vintage. However, strut failure mode is somewhat random. It gave me no trouble at temperatures as low as 16 degrees F in Grand Canyon last December, but has slowly crept downward in much higher "cold" temperatures here in coastal southern California.

B&J 8x10 I picked up in pieces..the guy had already stripped off all the ugly battleship gray paint and look - there's really nice blonde wood under all that paint

so I screwed it back together, found a bellows, ordered some ground glass and here it is

Kinda makes you want to scrape off all that paint on yours..no?

I might have powder coated the metal had he not had it chromed

I hate it when that happens, so I have one of these, just in case. Google for 'car strut clamp'. It's handy on slim light stands, too.



To be on topic, this is one of my 4x5 super wides.
