Ever realize you have the wrong equipment for location work? Such has been my large format life......
In the San Juan Mission Cemetery, Farmington, New Mexico. Sinar P 8x10 (heavy duty rear standard). That day I was using my Nikkor 150mm SW f/8. Heavy camera, heavy lens and heavy Gitzo tripod. Shot this in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. Most of those graves are from the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, killing many Navajo Indians.

I just bought this second 8x10 Norma Rear Standard for 200 British Pounds, from a very nice Guy in France. And another 8x10 original Norma Tapered Bellows, for another twenty British Pounds. So Keith at Custom Bellows gets some more of my money in exchange for a new Norma Bellows. Have numerous front standards and parts, so this complete camera comes from repurposed parts. Wanted a dedicated 8x10 Norma to put on a lightweight tripod like the original Leitz Tiltall or possibly some carbon fiber legs.

Have to reinstall strips of 3mm foam light trapping and She's done. 18x24cm Mammo have 500 sheets. 8x10 HRU have 500 sheets. Also many flavors of older B&W 8x10 emulsions some fresh some expired. Shanghai, ERA, Ilford, FOMA
That's the 165mm F8 Sinar Norma Compur Special Shutter Mickey Mouse Automation. A Friend says he is willing to sell me his 210mm F8 Norma Super Angulon. We will see

I recognize the 3040 tripod, Daniel. It was my first LF tripod, for the Omega 45Fm and served me well. I was later persuaded to exchange it for a 3050 with self-leveling legs. Great mechanism, great tripod. But later, after a 13-year hiatus, I tried taking the camera/tripod combo to an area morning LF shoot and breakfast at a state park. While others were hopping gaily about with their CF or other light-weight gear and field cameras, I was realizing that my set-up had no future for me. I couldn't afford CF legs, but a Tachihara 4x5 and Bogen 3221 tripod and lighter-than-3047 head, all bought used at excellent prices, reduced my carry weight from about 26 unwieldy pounds to about 11 compact ones. I'm quite portable now.
