    This is my little 4x5" baby. I made it out of teak and it took a month to build. It's the forth I have build (I have built both 4x5" and 8x10") and this time, I did it without any drawing at all.

    The venerable Kodak 2D and I. The shutter is an Prosch Triplex from 1886. Alas, we don't qualify for Steve Simmons' proposed upcoming article on images made with pre-1940 equipment, as the lens itself is a home assembly only about 3 months old. A couple of images made with it are attached. (Sorry for the crappy scans...)

    My Anthony Normandie, ca 1899-1903, 8x10, big ol' Calumet Caltar 14 3/4" lens that does double duty on this and my Cambo. I finally have a vintage tessar for it, but have not yet made a board for it. The rest of my LF are your basic Cambo/Tachihara everyday stuff.

    Here's a 18x24cm plate camera, the kind that was called "Englische Type" in Germany.

    For the occasion it's got a 270mm Meyer Aristoplan on it.

    Next is a 13x18cm plate kamera, a typical "Reisekamera" of the first decades of the 20th century. I originally bought this for the iris lens mount which I was going to use on another camera, but decided that this one was too nice to butcher.

    There's a 18cm f:6.8 C.P.Goerz Doppel-Anastigmat Serie III on it in the picture.

    Slightly more recent is the 1950's Gandolfi Traditional which replaced a Technika 5x7" as my "main camera". The transition from German metal to British wood was absolutely painless, and my back's getting better too!

    If you must know, the lens is a 165mm f:6.8 Angulon.

    This is my 1938 Deardorff 5x7 OS that I restored this year. I stripped it down to 300 pieces of wood and metal and only had 3 parts left over when I put it back together!!!

    Kevin's gets my vote - very pretty. Or at least "well photographed"!
