I dont believe you ! The device perched on top of that purdy Linhof stand and to the right of that evil star wars death star device looks more like a 'blad to me ...

My Kodak 2D 8x10, it took me about 50 hours to restore it. Shown with a Nikon W 210/5.6 and home made wooden lens board to take Linhof boards.

My camera is in need of a large set of tires to move around:rolleyes:
Here's my Baby Deardorff. It has been used for my livelihood at various times since 1984. It came with 3 lenses and a darkroom setup (45mx +3 lenses) for $1g. Where I lived, no one knew anything about LF or b/w or anything, and it was a few weeks before I figured out what it was. The rounded area in the rear bracket for the thumb was the telltale characteristic.
I shot for years before even talking with someone who shot 4x5 and didn't know if what I had was nice or not. It seemed rickety compared to the medium format I was using, but I loved the character of it and I wasn't seeing any other cameras that had that length of bellows draw. Looks real pretty to me now, over 20 years later.

I had Patrick Alt make me a new bellows which I installed in the late 90's before I went underground. The nickel plated hardware has held up nicely. It doesn't have front swing, but it does have rear swing and the front gives a fair degree of rise and fall without torqueing the bellows.
