    Hey from Ann Arbor, MI.

    Hello everyone! I just registered for the forum, because of my most recent obsession with large format photography. I use a Speed Graphic with a 127mm f/4.7 Ektar which I modified to fit my needs. It's a Pre Anniversary Speed Graphic so it doesn't have the tilts, but it does have a drop bed for wide angles. I eventually want to find another field camera with more movements. Basically, I've removed the ratty leather, sanded the wood, removed the rangefinder and the focal plane shutter. I used the hole from the rangefinder to mount a shutter release. It is just about the perfect location for it.

    Here is a really quick shot I took of it a while ago. You'll have to forgive how bad it is, I was in a hurry.


    I've got some Arista EDU 100 in 4x5 on the way and as soon as I shoot and dev some, I plan on posting up a quick review. I also picked up some Velvia 50, but we all know what that looks like.

    Welcome. I always show people the flip open hood on my graflock back. There's nothing made today as cool as that.

    So after looking around a bit, I have a question. Is there a user gallery or a section for photo critique? I'm not finding many pictures.

    Howdy, people just start threads with various themes. Not for critique per se but for the enjoyment of others. Anyone can either start or add to a thread.
