    5' x 4" Gandolfi with new bellows fitted and (completed this morning) a new mahogany lens panel sporting a Wray 89mm wide-angle. The M4 is simply for scale.

    Jim...stunning! What are you using for a ground glass?

    PKG...an M4 without self timer and preview lever?

    John, I use a frosted acrylic for my ground glass. Works great and is light.

    Long story. Probably an ex-cruise ship camera - very heavily used. Original body shell was cracked and epoxied together so Malcolm Taylor rebuilt it on an MD2 body shell I managed to source. But without more work it has to have neither preview nor self-timer. Still looks tatty but works well enough.

    New (to me) Burke and James 8x10 with Kodak 12" Commercial Ektar f4.5. Came with a 4x5 reducing back as well, which is attached in this image. Overall good condition but Im thinking of replacing the ground glass on both backs. Pretty sure they are both original, and seem a bit soft and dark compared to all my other LF ground glass.

    Neat! So you'll know, Commercial Ektars are all f/6.3. I don't b'lieve there was a 12"/4.5 Ektar.

    You are right. I think I mis-typed. I believe the camera is a Commercial View. The lens is not the 6.3 commercial Ektar, but rather the Kodak 12" Ektar 4.5 in an Ilex 5 shutter. I believe these were the continuation/renaming of the Kodak Anastigmats. Either way, Im happy to have the extra stop, though I am a bit worried about a top shutter speed of 1/50 with the Ilex 5.

    Re: Show off your Large Format camera!

    I recently came upon this Burke & James view camera and after seeing the condition, essentially unused, and the low price I had to grab it up. The only apology is a few paint flakes in the underside of the bed likely causes by wood expansion and contraction over the last 50 or 60 years. The area that is usually the most worn on these cameras is the lip of the back where the film holder is inserted. This camera didn't have any wear in that area at all. Everything is rigid and clamps down nicely and the bellows are looking great. I also made a conversion lens board so I can use my Linhoff style boards on this camera.
