Run into this gentleman today with this prehistoric camera. :-) Spent probably and hour talking to him as he was making all of the adjustments and finally put the large film panel in and got ready to shoot. Wal-lah, a picture was made. He let me look under the hood and it's sure not one that I would want to try to focus and set up. Looking at the screen, the image was upside down and didn't appear to clear, but didn't have my glasses, so that might have been my problem. He moved the camera about 10 feet and went though the same evolution of setting up, and finally made one more shot. And that was it for his session. Guess with that one, you can't make a whole lot of shots, as the film cost about 32 dollars per film piece. Just wish I could see the final results. Very interesting.
@swchappell@dkbarnett@terrinorthwind thanks SW, Delwyn, and Terri. And yes, he was very interesting. He would talk your ear off if you let him. But enjoyed learning about the old process.
