Show off your Large Format camera!

[Richard Wasserman]

Once I feel like I have a final set of these... I'm sure I'll produce an edition of platinums. Those will come from various captures; digital, 4x5 and 8x10.

Excellent, they'll be beautiful!

My Titan 5x7 made by Mike Walker. It's really unique as this camera is made of ABS plastic and stainless steel. The back is fixed which I actually like and all movements are located on the front standard. I was astonished when I first handled this camera as it's exceedingly robust and solid. It locks down tight, it doesn't flex, nothing on it wiggles. There is nothing flimsy on this camera. It's built like a military tank! Where I want to be careful and protective of my wood large format cameras, this one seems to say 'go ahead, take me anywhere!' This 5x7 was modified by Mike to take Sinar lens boards as all my other large format cameras use those boards. This camera is a blast to use with a 180mm and my 400mm f/5.6!

That Titan is a slick piece of design. and well photographed by you, though I would add a bender photograph of some movements
Classy that it comes with a screen protector.

A bender photograph Nicholas? How about this?

The camera has a bag bellows and 110mm lens here. Crazy enough, that lens still covers all of the ground glass as it sits in the photo.

Nice camera. I have a 4x5 Titan SF and love it. Rock solid - even when extended all the way. Solid even when I cantilever the front so I can use a 450mm Fujinon! So well made. Delightful to use.

He he, In that bender the titan looks like I probably do most of the time when I am looking for the ground glass under the darkcloth.
"now I know there is a camera in here somewhere..."

My Vageeswari 10x12

They are awesome light weight cameras, I have a user and two I am restoring. I can put my modified graflex roller blind shutter and a ross 3a portrait lens on the front and it takes great photos. I bought a piece of Perspex which I cut and bent with a heat gun to make a glass protector for the camera

Very cool. I really like the camera. I may eventually try to come up with something to change out the tripod to a better one. Its sturdy when set on good ground like shown in my photo but I would like a much stronger one for different locations.

I took the tripod mounting ring out and put a piece of plywood circle in its place, I had soaked the plywood disk in linseed oil laced with anti-mold, which is a lot thinner than normal linseed oil and permeates, it really strengthens the wood. Then just screwed in a normal tripod fitting, its now used on my heavy manfrotto tripod and is very stable.
