    Re: Show off your Large Format camera!

    Finally i can post on this thread!
    Arrived today. A Wista 45 DX Cherry wood like new in box with a kodak ektar f7.7 on prontor shutter and 2 holders.
    The only "downside" is that the prontor shutter doesn't have an open shutter function so i have to lock it on B to focus etc. not even a T function. i don't really mind. i've been through toughest times. haha

    Anyway a quick picture and im off to the fields to try it out!

    You need to look for a Compur #0 shutter but you'd have to make a new scale, I have the same lens in the Protor SVS which I used in Cyrrus 15 months aga . I also now have a very late US version in a Graphic Compur #1 and it is far quicker to use, they are very sharp lenses and so small and light.

    You'll enjoy the Wista I've had mine for 30 years and they are great cameras to use.

    There is a lot to enjoy about it !

    I've also recently engaged LF, all I can say is that LF transforms how one thinks about photography.

    Here you have Mr Adams, some 40 years after, remembering how he shot the Moonrise

    At the just opened Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve in NW Harris County Texas today. The Toyo 810M got a workout, and was a curiosity for several people walking by. With Fujinon 360mm lens.

    David, I can see why it would be curious. What a beauty!

    Sinar 8x10 Camera

    This is the 8x10 camera that I've decided to keep. It combines a Sinar P rear standard with a Sinar Norma clamp and front standard.

    What I like about this camera is that the rear 8x10 Sinar P standard bearer was designed for copy work. It has no movements other than focus. At less than 12 lbs, this camera is lighter weight and not nearly as large or cumbersome as, say a standard Sinar P 8x10. Whatever configuration I might need involving rear movements can be duplicated using front movements alone. There's an ease of setup, efficiency, and elegance to this that I like.

    The camera is limited to 24" extension, which also makes it more compact. This enables me to fit the camera onto a standard 6" Sinar rail for relatively easy backpacking. On the rare occasions where I might need a longer draw, I have a Norma accessory standard and an extra bellows that I can use. When needed (3rd photo), I can add two 6" extensions to the Norma risers that gives the camera virtually unlimited rise.

    Wow, never seen a rear standard like that. I think I have all the parts for an 8x10 P, but I've never put it all together to use it! L

    Neil, do you have a photo of the groundglass.

    I really REALLY want to shoot 10x8 polaroid. But I have been told it's probably more cost effective to invest in an entire new system than purchase the tools necessary to adapt my set up (I have a Sinar F1 4x5)
    Everything should be tried once, except incest and folk dancing.
