Yes, very nice! Just sent you some Flickr invites. I hope you'll add some images to the Graflex SLR group pool.

I'm uncertain of the forum policy on posting links to eBay, so I won't. But searching eBay for 5X7 stereo Graflex is interesting. I have no idea what the one for auction will sell for, but I believe the Stereo is one of the rarer Graflexes. There may be fewer Graflex collectors now than there were a few years ago, but I guess it only takes two guys with money to bid the price up.

Here's my 'new' 5x7 Series B, with Wollensak 8 1/4" f/4.5. I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it yet...I was expecting to have to do a ton of of work on the beast, but the FP shutter is light-tight and works exactly as it should. I'll probably buy xray film, cut it down, and contact print. I don't really have any decent means of handling 5x7...I only have a 4x5 enlarger, and my scanning setup doesn't have a nice provision for anything larger than 4x5 (aside from laying negs on the glass, which I fear would cause newton rings).

Make contact prints. Ilford takes custom cut film orders in the spring. Around February or March put in your order. The deadline is in June.

emulsion on the glass, and newtons arent usually a problem
