Slightly obsessed with a new, to me, #Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic 45 #LargeFormat #Film camera. These have a deep history specially with the press. So much so, that they were called press cameras.

#IShootFilm but never bigger than 35mm.

I'd love to hear any info you may have on these. This particular one has a small sticker on the top with "The great seal of the state of California" logo, and one at the bottom of the state capitol building.

Of Telephoto Lenses: The term ‘telephoto lens’ is nowadays generally misapplied to longer focal length lenses, as opposed to wide angle lenses. In fact, ‘telephoto’ has nothing to do with focal length, but designates a particular lens design. But photographers generally don’t concern themselves with the intricacies of lens construction, yet in this case it makes a big practical difference when using a view camera. ... #Photography, #FilmPhotography, #LargeFormat: aye.tf/2025/05/28/telephoto

Morning mist lies on the meadows shortly before sunrise.

I found this recording by chance in my archive. It is one of my first attempts with a large format 4x5 camera. I guess I just forgot about it and never scanned it. It is always exciting to scan negatives and only then see the real result of a shot. But after so long, it's a real surprise and brings back memories.

For the recording I used a Linhof Technika III. I had the film developed in a lab and scanned the negative with my Epson V700.

Had to drop some packages off and found out the UPS store in Kenmore has large-format printing in-house and it's rather more affordable than FedEx.

They do 40lb paper ($5/sq ft), glossy ($6/sq ft), and vinyl ($8/sq ft) and canvas (didn't ask).

That's not worlds-of-difference cheaper but it is better and since UPS stores are franchises not corporate-owned it's not at all UPS stores. But it's at the one in Kenmore.
