What looks to be a cherry Nikkormat EL-W in the pics. Hope it's as good in person!

Discovered that the spring backs that I thought were half plate are in fact 7x5 which is even better as one will fit my 2nd Seneca City View parts camera with very little adapting, the other should allow me to make a second back for one of my British Half plate field cameras.

One of the TP shutters is very unusual, nothing similar on the internet, an entirely different spring speed control (opposite side to normal). The Underwood camera is an Instanto

I forgot there was also a 3rd party Linhof/Wista lens board a stamping which is again something unusual, .

Good choices!

Thank you. I am partial to faster films because I like my photos grainy. As for the Rolleinar, I have yet to see the results.

Step wedge from http://www.stouffer.net/TransPage.htm#transmission step

After turning the darkroom inside out, I gave up on finding the step wedge last month. I ordered a new one. Today I found the missing step wedge right were it was supposed to be. The new step wedge has not yet arrived.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

^Well, you now have a spare, if you decide not to return the one you just bought.

After the previously mentioned Nikkormat EL-W turned out to be a paper weight, I just did what I should have done to begin with... Bought a black FT2 in EXC condition from KEH. 35% off and free shipping, thank you Cyber Monday

Depending on what you're shooting, the Rolleinar 1 will or will not get you close enough. I have a 1 and a 2, and they get the job done most of the time, but there are times when I'm shooting flowers that I wish I had a 3. But I can guarantee you you'll not experience any loss of quality in the final image for having used the Rolleinar.

My intro to Studio Lighting class that I've been teaching has gotten me the itch to shoot more in the studio. So I knuckled down and bought an RB67 Pro-SD body today to replace/upgrade the Pro-S body I have. The Pro-S doesn't always trigger the film advance on the motorized back I have, and I figured an updated body would be cheaper than getting the Pro-S serviced. And the Pro-SD has the cold shoe I can use to mount a PocketWizard transciever for firing the flash.

On an unrelated note, I also bought three new-to-me early Daguerreotypes. The first of which will be arriving today. I'm on pins and needles to see it!

 

[TheToadMen]

A Holga 120 pan and an 135 mm film insert to experiment with. Maybe even to hack it into a camera body for a LF lens too.
