Show off your Large Format camera!

Thanks, it's a little difficult to tell the models from the graphics in that brochure. Plus, it says that the specs for the 5x7 have not been finalized. It has the "top rear focus" geared mechanism that allows you to bring the rear standard forward for short lenses, as you can see in my picture with the 90mm.

Almost done restoring, though this is more of a conservation job than a restoration. I made the decision early on to not fully strip and rebuild, but to repair the mechanical bits while freshening up the brass and leaving the character from 80 years intact. As a road trip user and not a display case princess I think that this makes sense.

Agfa-Ansco 5x7 (with only a 4x5 reducing back for now) with a universal iris and unnamed collinear set in a betax-4. I also have a random 6" rectilinear and considerably more modern 210mm symmar.

Great! My irrational dream camera is an Ansco 8x10 Universal--that was the camera in the studio I worked at in high school in the mid-60s, and I always thought it would be cool to have one. There was a window where I could have just asked and probably had it, but I wasn't tuned in at the time. :-(

An oldie but goodie, Century Master Studio Camera and Stand, manufactured by Folmer Graflex, Rochester, NY, with 8x10 and 5x7 backs, Kodak 14 inch 6.3 Commercial Ektar in Ilex No. 5 Universal Synchro.

Wow, thats a real beauty. Makes me want one as nice, although I would want a 11x14 if I can find one...

I had an Ansco grey one I let go.

The Semi-Centennial style stand is so handy for portraits.
