Here is a TRF Crown Graphic, cam-coupled to lenses from 58mm to 360mm telephoto. Shown here set up for "Big Shot" and two full frame 4X5s. Amanda with her horse Bullet, 210mm Nikkor W and Maria with her dog Honeybear, 150mm Fujinon W. Both filled with flash from 285 Vivitar with bounce card. I am now fitting Graphics with a properly centered Lomograflok back for Instax Wide. Can be seen in The Lounge, Big Shots coming from these soon. Also shown are the matching Big Shot cams I cut for them. These are both accurate to infinity.

Those Norma outfits are beautiful. Original Sinar pan tilt head, very nice.

Thanks Duolab123 I started with modern Sinar and gravitated back gradually to the older stuff

Nice.
Looks like a lens in a relatively late (circa 1970's) No. 5 Ilex Universal.

Here's a vintage Toyo field camera that I like a lot now after a few mods. In that era, Toyo wisely chose to use the Pacemaker Graphic lens board, but I did not like the mechanics of the 4X5 revolving back. Its bail operation does not permit the use of later, improved viewing aids, like the excellent monocular viewer I favor. I don't use the revolving feature of most backs except to switch from horizontal to vertical, and these backs add extra extension I can do without. Here I fit a late production focusing back from a revolver in place of the old factory back. It does not revolve, but now I can use my favorite viewers, and it has reduced extension so that the 47mm XL SA easily focuses to infinity. This old Toyo was a time traveler, and its leather bellows is still in excellent condition.

Yes, original lens board not the original Turner Reich convertible, had an exploded shutter some one had opened before I got it, lens elements had separated. I sold it to a fellow for next to nothing, he was super happy.
