Very nice. What were you shooting with? Pinhole?

Very good work, Phillip! Thanks for the technicals as well.

Hey folks.

Thanks.

Just something fun.

Shooting with a Graphflex Graphic View 4x5.

I had a Speed Graphic years ago. I miss it a little bit. And all the other stuff I no longer have.

What was your development time? Surprisingly, Arista is a decent, even toned developer. Not the finest grain developer, but good nonetheless.

 

[PhillipM]

I have a SG, but never use it. I should try to sell it on FleeBay. I took the 135mm off of it, and it's the carrying back for my GV camera.

Development for my Arista is usually 6.5 minutes. I cut it back to 5.5+ minutes because of the RF factor involved. Printed on Ilford MGIV Glossy, using a Beseler Enlarger.

I love the DR.

What do you think of the graphic view? I've heard that it's limited movement-wise?

Limited? Ummmm, not sure about that. I have front rise/fall, swing/tilt, rear, I have swing/tilt...
I have this one.

To answer your question though.

I love it.

I've thought about etting one in the past. They're super inexpensive, especially when I was looking at it.

 

[PhillipM]

I got mine for 175.00

Nice. I have an Omega 45 and a Crown Graphic. Both are currently closet stuffers.
It's nice to see someone still working in LF once and a while

Yeah Rick.... I love sitting there printing this stuff in the DR, instead of tweaking 0's and 1's.... I do that all year long, so the DR is a lovely break from that.

It was mentioned above about movements or lack of...

This was shot sometime late last year. I think I had the movements twisted in a knot while taking this..
