    Good job, Alex! I remember not so long ago when you bought your Graphic View. Keep up the good work. I wish Ohio was closer to Kansas.

    Re: Wisner and IR

    I bought a set of IR bellows from Wisner many years ago. I have never used infrared film, however, these bellows have not come off the camera since first installing them. I work primarily with the...

  11. Re: So what am I missing? ($700 for a Speed Graphic Pacemaker?)

    Skorzen, if you are looking for a Graphic as a working 4x5 camera, I would suggest the Crown instead of the Speed. The Speed was "the" press camera. The Crown, in my opinion, is a much more user...
