Wow, who knew? (Ansel used a Cambo!)

Jim,

LOL: That was an ultra-RARE box of paper... pre-flashed to Zone 0!

Cheers

That's my Arca! Yes, I have photos of Ansel using an older base tilt Arca (by way of Ted Orland). But I think every camera company sent him a free copy or two once he became famous...

Franks right about that. The Hasselblads that Adams used were on loan. They were returned after his death. Hasselblad then auctioned them off to a high bidder with the money going to, I believe, AIDS research. There's a photo in Camera & Lens of his using a Arca-Swiss.... now if it's Franks or not....

If you read through enough technical details of Adam's work, you can get the impression that he used every camera ever made - and that he used each camera to shoot only one photograph. Ha.
