My avatar is myself with my Linhof Technika 5x7" - since sold.

Now I'm using a 7x5" Gandolfi traditional (among other cameras):

Last Sunday morning at China Beach in San Francisco.

I was making a long exposure of the the surf and rock when I noticed some movement - the girl proceeded to walk into the scene, turn around and then walk out. Fortunately, I was able to stop the exposure, recock the shutter and then complete it after she walked away.

Turns out that she was a model on a professional shoot - when I left, the photographer apologized for interrupting me, but it thought it was rather rude of him to walk in as I was working and simply assume ownership of the area. The temperature was cool, so I suspect the model was very uncomfortable.

Just the 240 g-claron and 450 Fujinon-c for now. That should cover the majority of what I need. I'm usually pretty good about working with the focal lengths I have with me at the time. A little wide, and a little long should do for most things I think. And as an added bonus, keeps me from dragging out 8 lenses


Diane, I'd like to see more of (and from!) that Canham!

I have a lot of 5x12 negs, but not many scanned prints.

The result

And one for Audioexcels (Mike) showing the beautiful Nikkor 450/9 M on the Arca Swiss with the telephoto belows (middle of bellows supported by an adjustable brace designed by Rod Klukas). This lens is just an incredible performer, almost as good as the Rodenstock 300/5.6 APO Sironar-S, in fact really difficult to tell the two apart. I was quite surprised given the price differential.

Brilliant. Now it's time to do an Arca-Conversion to an 8X10 back and get some further use out of both of these very fine lenses. Beautiful camera, btw

Wonderful thread everyone!

Which one?

I decided to count mine the other day, and I stopped when I reached . . . well, it was more than 10 and less than 100.
