My favorite pet camera, if not my most frequently used (hope I didn't already post this):
Nothing special Toyo AX and „image” ;-)

Finally took my hybrid Arca/Canham 11x14 home, and out for a drive this weekend.

My light weight fold up,
A Nagaoka 4x5 in a boiler room from the turn of the century. The old pipes and tubes are being mothballed for ultra modern characterless natural gas little boxes, so I need to shoot the old room quickly before it is gutted. What I like about this camera is that the body, 6 sheet film holders, two lens, dark cloth etc fit into an old Nikon 300 2.8 case and can be stashed in the corner of the trunk and weights next to nothing.
The room shook constantly and every pipe in the place rattles, with 4 second exposures, 50 percent of the frames are not tack sharp. This one is cropped slightly, cheap scanner sorry, on the neg you can see the dust in the cob web around the main valve and a drop of thick fuel drip from a disconnected pipe (that has been cropped out in this version).

Sorry for the cell phone snap, but I just found a very large lens at the antique shop. Looks to be about a 350mm f/4. Two elements and no aperture. Here it is held on my Omega 45E with some mat board. I can't wait to ruin some film with it.
