I've been using this Delmar since the 1990s. it was made for plate holders but works with modern film holders and polaroid backs. It has a simple Wollaston meniscus lens choked to something like f10 and a I/T shutter. sometimes it photographs the invisible, sometimes the visible.

I recently attached the mounting rings for Compound V and Ilex 5 shutters to the Arca Swiss 171 x 171 mm lens boards using POP rivets. The 1.6 Kg Tele Xenar 500 mm is held without any problems.....

Very Cool! I need to get out with my 500mm Tele-Xenar. So Nice to look through!

Quick phone shot of the ‘Dorff set up this morning, photographing a certain 1980s urban climbing training spot on 10x8” with a half darkslide as a 4x10”. Lens is the 110mm SSXL with a 0.45 (1.5 stop) Rodenstock CF which is their equivalent to whatever the correct Schneider filter is (IIIB?). Anyway, trying to shoot this on the top half of the ground glass meant maxing out all the rise possible with the bellows squashed up this tightly. Not pretty but hopefully got the job done.

Pretty camera, love the wooden front rise.

My other 4X5, a Graphic View which is in wonderful condition. The trunk looks like a refugee from both World Wars.

Pretty camera, love the wooden front rise.

Cheers - yeah it's a handy feature, especially in situations like this where the bellows are backed up to the max. Surprised more cameras don't have it to be honest.

Very Nice!

I have a friend who has this same outfit, but not nearly in as nice condition. What's neat, is that one can use the stand for any flatbed 8x10, or I imagine, any flatbed 11x14. Very cool.

Thanks Neil! I had a tripod mount added so I can also use the stand with my Chamonix 11x14.

That's pretty!

Don't suppose you happen to have any shots taken with this set-up..?
