    First view of V8 Stealth Deardorff

    This is a collaboration with Barry from LF Deardorff & Sons Inc., this is a new custom "Stealth" V8 camera that was built to be 100% black and will be finished in all black after I shoot a project that I needed to pull the camera before it was finished with the black parts Barry is having custom made for my use.
    The camera was delivered today via express mail, and it is perfect in all areas fit, finish, function etc.

    Nice. Reminds me a bit of the Ebonized 1/2 plate Gandolfi I used to have.

    It may be hard to focus through the all-black ground glass...

    nice, but I wouldn't want to use anything with all black metal parts in the hot california sun. I'm guessing you won't be using it that way.

    What tripod to match? Lovely camera but now you have to get an Ebony and Chrome Ries....

    In view of the complaints here about Barry's slowness to deliver, when did you order your camera?

    Here's the new Stealth with an actual lens that "Irving Penn" used and a gitzo and arca swiss support.

    You sold me a bunch a Sinar stuff a couple of years ago... is this all that much better? I mean congrats on getting such a beautiful camera but in terms of going out and shooting is a Dorf going to do anything special?
