In Praise of 5x7... Post'em !

[Andrew Plume]

It's 13x18cm but it's a bit smaller. I'm not quite sure if it fits 5x7 holder, but the difference could be up to 1mm.

Hi Milosz

13 x 18 will definitely fit inside the slightly larger 5 x 7 holder

Anyone in the US willing to sell me 2-3 5x7 holders for $10 a piece?

There's a camera shop near me that collects old cameras, has a 5x7 but no holders and will let me borrow it if I can get holders and film, since I won't own it u don't want to spend a lot...

Thanks

good 5x7 holders are at *least* $25/each, more like $40. Cheaper probably means light leaks.

Eh... I'll take my chances, again this isn't for my normal work where I care as much, just my tinkering with the stores camera, probably do portraits of the employees and maybe take it to the park down the street and kill a 25 sheet box of ilford 5x7

I like the extreme WA view of these in the city, probably would make a nice series if you made 30-40 of these...

I set up a separate Flickr account, because it's so different from what I usually do (only people, portraits) just for something like that, but I'm not quite sure what it will be yet. I was thinking of doing my home town in Michigan.
Here's the camera, wearing the lens, by the way. Tailboard: irrelevant!

No chance for movements here, very tight. Hope to see more of these.

Eleven years to build, to be in operation for only 13 months.

My first reaction isn't photographic, its that here in the U.S. anyone taking pictures of a nuclear power plant, especially with a large format camera on a tripod, would get an immediate visit from the police. They wouldn't recognize a view camera, and would be aware that nuclear plants, chemical plants, and airports are right at the top of the "do not photograph because you might be a terrorist" list!

Aside from that, interesting composition, makes me look closely to see how many points of interest I can find.

I like taking pictures of those massive oil storage tankers... Probably not the best subject to photograph if I want to avoid the "government"
