The title's a bad pun, but when the camera's called "The
Garden Camera" ...
It's a medium format view camera that I made five years ago and once trialed it hardly ever got used again. Recent discussions (you know who you are
) prompted me to get a new lens for it and run a roll through. Here's the cam with an uncoated 105mm Certar, ripped untimely from its 1930s Certix folder.
Now this is complicated. An RB67 film back on a wooden medium format view camera, with a 105mm triplet lens from a 1930s folding camera, and a push-on Zeiss Proxar close-up lens on the front. Front tilt and swing, and back tilt where necessary.
All shots either f4.5 or f22. Lighting from a daylight neon strip in the light tent. Neopan 400, dev'd in Ilford DDX.
And yes, that's a
Bear with a Pearl Earring.
Well, it's been raining all day.
