Here is the camera, tell me what you think. It looks pretty clean to me. I didn't photograph the extension rail or the extra back with the 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 format yet.

Oooooooh. Nice camera. So where in The Valley are you?
Correct my calculations if wrong:
Given a scanner capable of 2300 spi, we get 2300 x 2300 pixels per square inch. That is 5.29 million or 5.29 MP/square inch.
A 5x7 inch sheet of film at 4.75 x 6.75, has roughly 32 square inches of useable space, so that old-timer of yours will give you 32 x 5.29 MP or roughly 170 megapixels per shot.
Granada Hills and I work in Studio City for an art gallery. You can see the gallery in the background of these photos. Are you close? We should get together and do some photography some time. Grab a nice group and go out as a large format posse! ha
Holy sh**! I need to show my wife those stats. Who need a digital camera with those results.
I went to Freestyle today and bought 2 boxes of Ilford FP4 (25 sheets).. something obvious but I haven't realized was how hard it is to load 5x7 in a 4x5 size changing bag! I need to get a bigger changing bag now. Now waiting for my lens boards and ground glass and I'm good to go.
I ordered my ground glass from Steve and I should have it by friday or saturday. I should have my new lens board tomorrow. Project is coming along nicely.
I got my first lens board today, I used it to mount a Caltar/Rodenstock 180mm lens. I can officially take pictures. I will do that tomorrow morning, I also should get the ground glass tomorrow or saturday.
