Dayum......... ain't that purdy?!?!
 
When i decided to get back into LF, I wanted to get something that was not only good, but good-looking as well. I didn't want anything like a Graflex that would make me look like Eisenhower's press photographer.

Now I'm actually pining for a matching walnut tripod.
 
Oh Red, you're going to get me back into my first love, large format black and white photography. Then I'll have to build a new darkroom, because my current darkroom won't accomodate my large format enlarger - which calls to me daily from the shed asking to be put back to work.

The camera is gorgeous. Does it have full swings and tilts on both the back and front standards? Have a blast and definitely share some photos. And remember, even by PL's former name, this camera is seriously compact next to 11x14 monorails.
 
I love those cameras. Takes me back to the last time i used one.
A portrait of my son Ben. He was about 14 and I used it to photograph
his injuries. (he took a brick in the face in a fun stone throwing fight !)
I'll see if i can find it :eek-54:
