    Pics of famous LF photogs with their gear

    Thought this might be a fun thread! If anyone has photos of famous photographers with their LF gear or simply at work ... post them here!

    I will start with:


    Jeff Wall (ca. 2010):

    4x5 Linhof Master Technika (probably 3000?)

    Rineke Dijkstra (2010?)

    Usually with a Linhof Master Technika and Sironar S 150. This time around she borrowed some kit, some other brand 4x5 LF camera and an Elinchrom Ranger kit.

    Paul Strand in the Outer Hebrides, 1954

    At this point in his life, he used an 8x10 Deardorff (shown above) and a 5x7 Graflex (masked to 5x6).

    He used one lens, a 300mm Dagor.

    John Wimberley photographing in the Great Basin with his 5x7 camera. I'm sure he told me the brand but I have forgotten.

    Looks like a Sinar, the Norma model.

    It's a Sinar Norma, modified with custom compendium shade and in-camera flocking to reduce camera flare.

    Thanks Paul, I love Rineke and have one of her books. I actually did not know Rineke was a "she" and used lf until now!
