Great bellows! From China?

Not according to the guy who restored it, but...maybe!

“ The whole set up is pretty solid...”

Not if you mount lenses directly onto the Sinar shutter. They’re not designed to be weight bearing.

It's fine, regardless of it's design which I'm aware of. I have no worry of it breaking.

Guess you can lead a horse to water...

That 2D is pretty!

I did not know that. And knowing that now frustrates some plans I have

A while back I opened a thread about lens boards for my Meridian Model B. I found a 4x4 Graphic lens board that has a Speed Graphic adapter. The photo is with a 100mm f/6.3 WF Ektar mounted.

Yep; designed to go behind the front standard.

Gifted! Over the weekend I was gifted a Crown Graphic, changing bag, film holders, and a view camera book! Excited to get to work. Attachment 210022

I got started in LF fairly similarly, in my case it was a Busch Pressman D. The old press cameras can teach people a lot and are a lot of fun in their own right.

My first LF camera was a Busch Pressman Model D. It came with a 135 Grafex lens, a 8.5" Commercial Ektar, and a 105mm Wide Field Ektar. That was a great camera, and I rue ever selling it in 2008. It came with a Speed Graphic case and 10 film holders; all for the tidy sum of $150 (1976). Year before last, I replaced it with a Tower Press 4x5.

Enjoy yours!

My go to camera is still my Busch Pressman Model D. If necessary, I will pull out my Sinar but that hasn't happened too many times.
