Good thread topic.
Mine is a calumet wood field (basically a re-branded, more expensive version of a tachihara)
See it in action below.

I sport a Holga.
And a Mamiya 645 Pro TL, and occasionally a home-made 4x5 pinhole.
And soon to be a 1950s Agfa Cadet Box Camera! And a Brownie Syncro. Hopefully they get here by Friday...

That's the 65mm f6.8 (hence the extra finder on top), I also use the 150mm f5.6 and sometimes use the ground glass back. I usually leave the grip at home, this tank is usually on a tripod.

(sorry, don't have a pic of mine - looks the same as the one in the link but with dark grey leatherette and mine's a bit more beat up)

I use a 65mm f8, 105mm f3.5 and a 240mm f5.6.
Tunnelbug, how's the Calumet? Are the movements geared, or at least well-marked? I'm still debating between a Linhof 4x5 (because, well, they're Linhofs) and a wood 4x5 field of some sort (because they're a lot lighter and, let's face it, wood is sexy).
yep. | |
i love the kiev, ryan. and mortimer, god that mamiya universal is hot.
i have a graflex 22, a rollei, and a mamiya 6, and of course a holga.
don't have photos right now though.

The movements for the tilt are only geared for a straight 90 setup. The focusing rail is well-marked, but other movements don't have markings. Honestly, for myself, I don't really look at the markings, and sort of am engrossed in the groundglass the whole time, but I suppose some people would find a need for that.
Nice gear. My next goal is a MF camera for more field use. Toting around this wood field is quite ambitious, especially whilst hopping fences.

Gearing is nice if you're used to precise German mechanical engineering, not essential. As for markings, I remembered after I asked about it that it was a field camera, not a monorail, and so markings don't really matter that much. As for toting around the 4x5, if you're looking for smaller, stay away from the shit I'm using - the Linhof is probably the same weight as your 4x5, it weighs almost as much as the 4x5 version Tech IV. The Mamiya is lighter but just as bulky, more so with the 150 mounted. Both however have the advantage of no-light focusing (except the 240 for the Linhof, I have no rangefinder focusing cam for that).

Press, not Universal (mine's older than the Universal, has no brightframes in the rangefinder, and I think the Universal had the ability to mount Polaroid backs). Still a solid tank, and kind of funny to street shoot with a couple times a year, if only for the reactions I get.
Now a Mamiya 6, that's a great camera. I keep hoping to find one of those really cheap at a garage sale or on Craigslist or something. Solid all around, probably the absolute best travelling 120 camera. Which lenses do you have for it?
yep. | |
Meopta Flexaret VI, great lenses and in general quite underestimated.

took pics of my babies today
simple box camera, had to take the face off and alter it to have B mode Takes amazingly sharp pictures. 6x9
My Russian crap-cam, named her Sputnik. someone told me what the real name was once, don't remember 6x4.5
My diana clone, named her LeCrap 6x6
Simple TLR, single ss+B 6x6
unbelievably bright viewfinder on the Duaflex, shoots 620film 6x6
My first TLR, ain't she sexy??? WA&Tele lens adapters shown too
I smoked Marlboro reds for 20 years, I don't need no stinkin respirator! | |
Nice gear. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I primarily use the 2x3 and 4x5 out of the three. There were plans to have some exterior fun with the 3x4 in the middle since the black covering is in poor shape, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. The 4x5 is a Speed Graphic Model 1000. It's like a Crown Graphic except instead of a focal plane shutter, it's the Rodenstock Optar 135mm lens which is capable of shutter speeds of 1/1000 instead. I also have a Symmar-S f/5.6 210mm lens for it.
My baby, the 9x12cm Zeiss Maximar in delicious condition for a camera from the '30s. I've taken this one on railfanning trips with me.
Some junk store finds.
I don't remember the name of this one either. It's cheap and cute though.
Not pictured: a Mamiya C220 (I use this one the most), a Kiev-60 (good to see another Russian tank enthusiast here), Lubitel-166, a Polgaroid, and some others.

Hold them up to the mirror. It's plain to see that the name of this camera is 'goime.'
Sorry, bad joke.
Junquehunter, do you actually use all of those?
yep. | |
yes, i use all of these, the least of which are the Duaflex and Russian plastic cam
I use these 2 the most frequently Holga, Afga Isolette II

Those are some hot beasts there. I highly suggest trading in the 120CFN for a 120N. Then go blow $50 to buy a decent external flash. Makes the Holga a million times more versatile. Especially with a good variable power mode. It's what I use 90% of the time now. And it's easy to replace if it gets broken/lost/stolen/confiscated/abandoned.

That be true. As well as a 645, a 6x6, and a 6x9 too I think...
