Nice! Until you get that spring fixed, a bungie cord should help.

Superb. 210mm is a great FL for 4x5. Great work!

Actually, it's one White Lightning X3200 at full power in a foldable beauty dish (like these). So the exposure was instant. I left the shutter speed at 1/2" though, but that's still to dark to show. I have two X3200's, but the second one's optical sync has been misbehaving, so it was lit with...

Great composition, Tony! Looks like the flexibility of C41 and the power of GIMP saved the day!

I received this camera last week and only just developed a first roll on Thursday. But after shooting half a roll I realized that I should really check the accuracy of the rangefinder. This shot is that test. I digitized the center of the negative with my A7rII and Olympus OM Auto-Macro 50mm...

I've started a project of taking portraits of people at my work with my Pacemaker Speed Graphic: Xenotar 135mm f/3.5 Symmar 210mm f/5.6

Finally got a new medium format camera after selling my Mamiya M645 1000s. I'll need to take it's portrait now!

Not the right lens for the job, but I'm still satisfied with the imperfect results: The Schneider Xenotar 135mm f/3.5 is a 4x5 lens that technically covers 5x7, but you can see where in the corners the quality of the image circle degrades dramatically. What I need is a wide lens that's actually...

Yep. And technically upside down, too, but that's easier to hide on the print. The image is exactly what you would see through the ground glass.

Here are two 5x7's taken from the building where I work (I left in the caffenol cast in the first one when digitizing): Mount Baker Theater by Mike Aubrey, on Flickr Bellingham Old City Hall by Mike Aubrey, on Flickr

I'm finally developing again...though my OM-10 seems to have a light leak issue. Bellingham on Film by Mike Aubrey, on Flickr Bellingham on Film by Mike Aubrey, on Flickr Bellingham on Film by Mike Aubrey, on Flickr Bellingham on Film by Mike Aubrey, on Flickr Bellingham on Film by...

Yeah. Definitely need the ascorbic acid. Looks like it turned out well. As soon as I've finished off the rest of my standard developing chemicals, I'm going all in on Caffenol for all my film.

That's from my developing, not the camera.

My camera is propped upright vertically over the film using a screw in lens hood that's roughly the length needed for sufficient resolution. That way there is no extra light coming through to create reflections.
