A Sinar Norma
First photo
It's like regular photography, with a hundred more things to do wrong.

5200 Swedish crowns (SEK). It came with two lenses, a 150mm and a 90mm, both like new. I also got 4 film holders for 4x5" sheet film and a bag bellows. 3 of the film holders look like they've never been used. I haven't started with the sheet film yet, I'm using 120 roll film with roll film holder.

I shot some 6x6 with the Sinar today. It's like having a Hasselblad with full movements.

He shot the one of his new camera with a different camera. No mirrors I don't think. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Cool nice to see you finally found someone who’s not afraid to post internationally. This is my 5X7 Linhof Technika III. It's a bit of a dilemma using it though, I can’t shoot anything with movement because it's got a bum shutter (highest 1/90) and Im restricted to Kodak 64 and 64T because no one else makes colour 5X7 film these days. But there are a few higher asa b/w films to choose from.

It looks gorgeous! Maybe you can find a 4x5 reducing back for it? Then you can shoot 120-film with a roll film holder.
Any photos up, taken with it?

Aquagak, I hope you keep using that. The shutter is only a small part of it. Ebay is a goldmine for LF-optics and shutters.
I almost bought a Tech 3 last summer, but the seller couldn't guarantee the bellows was ok. I didn't want to start out by looking for pinholes.

Yeah lately I've been looking out for a new lens and a roll back. Still learning but here is the first shot I’ve ever took with it. Pity there was a horrible light leak in the double dark I used. A little trick I read on the net which you probably already know is to use a loupe on the ground glass to get a more precise focus.

The detail is pretty impressive. Yeah, a loupe is helpful. I just use a small 3x pocket-magnifier.
I made a pinhole lensboard out of cardboard today. I took a piece of a beer can and made the pinhole on that. I'll try that out tomorrow. Looks like the shots will be super wide on 4x5". The front and rear standards are completely pressed together and still the groundglass is fully covered by the image. The focal length is less than 5cm, I guess.

Looks like the photos could have very nice character. I've been trying to find a camera called the Great Wall DF. It's a crappy Chinese box camera, but the quality is amazing.
More Great Wall DF goodness in in the old archive over at Making Happy.
I'm heading out now to take some pinholes with the Norma.

I did get some photos taken. I shot directly on paper and then scanned and inverted them in photoshop.
Here are the two I posted: Swings Winds
The pinhole could be smaller and it's far from a perfect round shape. I just cut out a cardboard and made the hole on a piece of tin from a beer can.

Thanks, it's a blog and it gets updated fairly often. I updated it every day for two years, so there's been some ups and downs in quality, and I never know what people will like.
I built a closet dark room, so now I update whenever I have time. Processing film and doing prints takes alot more time than scanning lab-processed film. Soon I'll start doing slide cross-processing at home too. Just need to find a good kit of C-41 chemicals.

Some 4x5in scans up now. My old scanner didn't take negs this large, so I got a new, better one.
yksi kaksi kolme neljä
The portraits have an exposure time of about a second, so there's some subject movement on the kids..
