Alpenhaus converted Polaroid 900 with Xenotar 135mm f/3.5 lens and a flash bracket I cobbled on to it. Works fantastically!

The excellent camera with a wonderful lens!)

Meet 'the beast'

Calumet 8x10 with 8x10, 5x7 & 4x5 backs

on the front is a B&J wood lensboard I rounded the corners of, cut out a big ol hole, then bolted a horseman lensboard with a big ol hole face-to-face.

On the back of the horseman is a sinar shutter and in front of that a 300 Heliar.

a heck of a lot of monkeysnot..but now I can shoot 5x7 with barrel lenses with flash

That Heliar sure looks familiar.
Let me know when you want to get rid of it and I'll buy it back from you.

OH HELL NO

I'M LOVING IT

I went out to test a bunch of lenses..and not surprisingly - the Heliar is my favorite..and..I'm over the mush lenses (soft focus ones)..the Heliar gives me nice soft transitions without looking like I was drunk when focusing like the Darlot does

examples: TEST

the Ilex got short shift - there was a light leak obviously in the lensboard set up for that one


thanks again for the great deal
if I ever sell it..I'll contact you first

Time to stop being pretty and show a workhorse - The lens on this is a 360 Heliar, a slightly problematic design which gives it a beautiful glow around highlights down to about f9 (on the old scale) - This, with a 240 Heliar on 5x4", is the main lens for my current Naked Portrait portfolio



Shown here without the flower pot lens hood that was meant to be a temporary solution for a few minutes, which have now stretched to 18 months - Yes, I will get a bellows hood and look professional again

Eastman 2D with a Wollensak 1A 330mm Triple Convertible at the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge in western Az. Note the camera is setup next to my truck. I find my best images are made within 20' of it.

Fresh snow and delayed start of school, so I went out shooting this morning with my daughter. She likes snow like I do. This is the best time of year for photography.

Newest photo accessory is the sled. Bigger and tougher than a kids sled, smaller than a jet-sled.

Great for short adventures (like less than a mile), I'd use the jet sled if I had more gear or needed to haul food or other outdoor gear.

B&J 8x10, pelican case of film holders. Jacket for a dark cloth. symmar-s 300/5.6 and Kodak portrait 305.

Nice job Liam, 45mm is a nice 4x5 focal length. You won't be disappointed and there will only be nice light falloff to the edge. Looking at your build thread does not show how the filmholder attached, what did you end up doing?
