Let's see your "beast" afield!

[Dan Fromm]

I use a 6x7 and 6x9 holder on the Century Graphic. It's in effect a 120 rangefinder that can also take 2x3 film. I also shoot 35mm through it for that Xpan look.

Good heavens! The Century is natively 2x3. Everyone agrees that 2x3 is one of the medium formats. It belongs here.

By the way, person of short memory, I'm highly offended that you lectured me about your Century. I have one. We've discussed it. The link I posted in post #17 above is to a photo of a 2x3 Pacemaker Speed Graphic, another medium format camera.

Me? Short memory? Link didn't work for me.

Sorry for the offence Danny. At least I don't call them film backs anymore. I've learned. I can change, honest indigenous people I can!

I can say it slowly.

120 roll film holder.

I didn't get a photo in the onedrive link in #17-- just a blank screen. I think you shared your view of your onedrive photos.

... wait... you own a Graflex camera? Really? Did not know that.....

What is Graflex? Mine is a bellows camera thing. I thinks its a Brownies made by Kodak. Did you know that they still make film? Crazy rite?

I just tested it, seems to work. I've recently been having trouble with sharing files.

Yes, Grat, I have Graphics. And a Graflex SLR, You might want to read http://www.galerie-photo.com/telechargement/dan-fromm-6x9-lenses-v2-2011-03-29.pdf

Sadly, the internet gods are not pleased with your offering-- that didn't work. Said I don't have permission.

Try this: Right-click on image, select "Share". When the tab comes up, click on "Anyone with link can view and edit", and uncheck "Edit", click apply. That will send you back to the "Send Link" window. At the bottom of the "Send Link" window is an option to "Copy Link". That pops up a window with a link you can copy and post to grant people the right to view (but not edit) your image.

Should be a much shorter link, and look something like: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao9Uxwy4Iq-XhAjVFXptj7vkiA7L?e=uIiSTy

The internet needs a facetious tag.

I'm aware you have several, and have done quite a bit of experimenting with lenses. Your posts have been invaluable in understanding my mini speed.

Baby Beast.

Beautiful!!!

Grat, thanks for the help. Been there, tried that, failed. On my desktop, share doesn't work the way it used to. I tried your suggestion, failed again.

Tried one more time, starting from OneDrive. This time I got
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AggQfcczvHGNh13hz3NLsLjZEPMS?e=fW0nLB and it seemed to work.

I've used computers for nearly all of my adult life -- started programming at the age of 22, SCATRAN, an Algol dialect, on IBM 7094 -- and still hate them.

I should have mentioned I was using the web interface-- sorry about that.

That one worked. I'm not quite sure how you'll fold that one up, though.

Reminds me of the short barrel railway cannons of WWI and WWII for some reason.

Thanks! This camera, it's outstanding in the field.

Oh my. I see it now, that's quite something.

I gave up and just use Imgur these days. Drag and drop. Simple to embed and easy enough interface. For what it's worth, I started using computers at the age of 6 and I hate 'em all. I started with DOS though.

Does 6x17 count as medium format?

 

[Dan Fromm]

The consensus view seems to be that cameras that natively use 120 size roll film are medium format cameras. Cameras that are natively 4x5 or larger are large format cameras even when used with a 120 roll holder. These are, though, just conventions.

 

[Dan Fromm]

IReminds me of the short barrel railway cannons of WWI and WWII for some reason.

Well, as lenses for MF go it is fat and heavy. It came from an AGI F.139 aerial camera that shot 6x6 on 70 mm film. It was also fitted to the F.139's predecessor, the Williamson F.134, and to its successor the AGI Agiflite (early ones only). And to the Vinten F.95, which also shot 6x6 on 70 mm film. The Williamson/AGI (AGI took over production after Williamson went bust) cameras were intended to be hand held, the F.95 could be hand held but was more often hard mounted. After TTH discontinued lenses for 6x6 aerial cameras, AGI bought from Zeiss, Vinten from Elcan. I've never shot the monster hand held. Obvious waste of film.

Waiting to take it to the field soon...

Too many - four.

Need to go 220, maybe you'll get 8.

My holster bag is like a little clown car... photo equipment just keeps coming out of it... camera after camera... tripod after tripod... light meter after light meter!!

Any large format camera can be medium format if you're willing to crop enough...

If you shoot 10x8 and 35mm , then your 5x4 camera is your medium format .

If you shoot 10x8 and 35mm , then your 5x4 camera is your medium format .

Currently only shoot 6x6, 6x7, and 4x5... So by this logic 120 film is only medium format some of the time for me?
