Poll Time: Let's see what you shoot

[J Durr]

What 4x5 large format camera do you Shoot? No lenses...we will get to that later.

 

[abruzzi]

None of the above—you seemed to leave off several of the largest/longest running manufacturers like Sinar or Linhof.

Sorry and Thanks I will add them

I just started shooting 4x5 format, and still have very basic knowledge about it. I use a Graflex Graphic View camera. I literally made two shots only with it.

Great...you gotta start somewhere...

 

[Ian Grant]

Only the smaller manufacturers are listed.

What about Wista, Tachihara, Nagoka, Arca Swiss, Toyo, Horeseman, MPP, Walker, Chamonix, Shen Hao, Cambo, Plaubel, and I've missed a few as well.

I can add anybody....what do you think? Do you use them all?

 

[Ian Grant]

The makes I've listed are all quite common. They need listing, or you'll just have Other as the heavily dominant make.

Cambo/Calumet, list together as Cambo cameras were branded as Calumet in the US,

Gee I did not know that Crown Graphics and Speed Graphics are not 4"x5" cameras! I just do not want to be in the room when my Pacemaker Speed Graphic finds out!

 

[Ian Grant]

3 MPP MicroTechnicals, a BJ Grover, a Century Model 46,a Soho Reflex, that's 6 in the other category.

The poll doesn't allow multiple answers so what about my Wista 45DX, Crown and 3 Speed Graphics, as a Super Graphic.

There's the Wista, the Intrepid 8x10, the MPP, the two WillTravel 3D printed ones, and my home-built 4x5 pinhole. This needs checkboxes, not radio buttons.

.... should I count the half-plate Thornton-Pickard? I've 4x5 septums for it, but until I get the light leaks fixed, I'm not actually using it.

... I don't have a problem, I can quit when I want to...

Sure you can, that’s why you are looking at more potential 4x5 cameras right now isn’t it! Or is that me

 

[Two23]

Chamonix. I think you missed that and it's a big one.

I checked Graflex since I love walking around with a Crown shooting handheld 4x5. I have several different brands of 4x5, rarely use, beautiful stuff. Need to get out with Deardorff 8x10 before it's cold.
