so cool - its a must for every field photographer

I suppose you would have to haul a generator out if you wanted to use it in the field? Seems like a studio thing for sure. Too cool.

...except that it's mounted on a lensboard, pointing *into* the camera body? Doesn't look graflok to me.
How is this meant to work? Do you have a third standard behind the film plane, with the camera pointing at the ground glass?

 

[AgX]

It is placed in a auxiliary standard behind the rear standard facing the groundglass, with a auxiliary bellows inbetween.

At least I assume so... Never seen such before.

 

[CatLABS]

Its a sinar lensboard, The newer models (F P X) all have a universal standard system accepting boards/bellows/backs/attachemnts, via the same standard square connection. Its pretty smart actually.

I guess in this case it is mounted on the rear standard instead of the graflock back.

But can I get Hopalong Cassidy and The Partridge Family on it?

 

[Alan Gales]

That looks like something for Drew Wiley or E. von Hoegh!

film

Does Kodak know about this? It could ruin their film business.

 

[AgX]

In some way it reminds me of a remote controlled 35mm SLR with a tube videocamera taking the image presented in the eyesight.

But also of an apparatus for eye fundus photography where a CCD-camera was fitted to a custom finder of a 35mm SLR, and used as only means to watch the finder image. The groundglass had been substituted by a field lens.
