nice grab mate, a beauty, esp. with the compendium shade, which is a rare thing to see, let alone own one today. (I got myself a sinar F2 which gets around the compendium thing by using existing bellows and a rod/bracket system to clamp onto the front standard), I also got lucky, a case, with two bellows, a bag bellow, Auxiliary standard, ext. rails, two rail clamps, a Fujinon 90 f5.6 SWD on a lens board, cable release, binocular hood + goggles, and a few film holders, one of which was a 120 back (sinar zoom) which I am using currently to learn "the dance" with, all great fun, and you won't regret a thing.
Wow that is great . Thank you . I'm a very busy person so I don't get out with it much . It's for future projects. I'll be getting a 150 nikkor and a 6x17 back as well . Lots to learn in the beginning
Very good purchase. I have a Toyo 45g, only the older model with a silver tube. I'm very happy with it and I can compare it because I previously used Horseman and Cambo Legend. As for lenses, I recommend Fujinon, they are as good as Rodenstock or Schneider. And in some cases even better, especially when it comes to the image circle. I even have one Fujinon lens that has a very scratched multicoat and yet the photos come out razor sharp.
I'm switching from Ilford because the only film I like from them is pan f plus . I tested some 120 of the arista 200 edu ultra and absolutely do not like it . I've tested Rollei RPX25 and really like it . So I ordered some 4x5 finally to test it . Ilford does not make pan f in 4x5 .
Very interesting video Dave...I have never seen that gear so I will be interested to see the results....do you need a licence to use...ha..ha..!!.. cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Hi Robert. Yes it's definitely a whole new ball game . Without film just testing it took me 45 minutes to perfect a scene how I wanted it . Average will definitely be 15 minutes per photo.

Plans going sideways can be daunting, so good on ya for snagging the deal and running with it. 👍
Thanks .
Big point and shoot Dave enjoy the quality of large format.
Yes it will blend in with the Nikon F and Bronica S2A
Thanks

Thank you for commenting
Nice! You will find the Fomapan scratches really easily. I shoot Ilford to prevent this.

You are one adventurous dude! Look forward to seeing some great pics in the future.
Thanks . I have goals . And time is ticking . So I need to force myself into things to get there. Food is over rated . Hahaha I can lose some pounds .
4X5 is great, slow contemplative photography unlike shoot a million shots digital
I agree
