Took a few quick ones of my new toy... i'll need to set up a nicer "studio" but i couldn't wait to snap a few of these as soon as i got this baby home :)

Quite a piece of work!

You might check out this site for "Large Format" knowledge and help:

http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/index.php

Some wonderful photographers there and a wealth of knowledge on big film cameras. Small site, friendly but serious about film. I hang out there just to see the pictures. I have a complete Linhof 4x5 sitting in a case but that's a whole 'nuther story. :bow

That camera just gushes with that legendary German craftmanship.

REALLY nice, and thanks for sharing!
