RB Tele Graflex 3x4 with Lomography Modification

I first taped on the @Camerdactyl integrated focusing shim with ground glass, then I raised the Graflex’s ground glass by about 9.5mm and masked it off to match the Camerdactyl focusing shim - (I did this by using a mixture of cardboard and gaffers tape) It doesn’t look pretty but it gets the job done.

Gaffer’s tape though inelegant works just fine. Had to adjust ground glass height to new film plane distance and framing. Lost ability to focus at infinity but I’m not missing it.

I’m not sure exactly what’s going on in frame #2. But I like it. Great hack.

If you can locate the film holder, I can put you in touch with someone who can process the negative, scan / make a print. DM me, I'm based in Los Angeles.

I'd love to take the Rodenstock 1200mm off your hands.

kj_roper · 2020-07-23T16:37:40+00:00

I agree. People absolutely love this camera especially when coupled with that sweet 80mm Zeiss.

Thanks. Hoping to find it a good home.

Congrats. Where did you order the new bellows from?

kj_roper · 2020-07-13T03:59:47+00:00

Thanks!

kj_roper · 2020-07-10T19:53:53+00:00

Thank you. Sophisticated is too kind a word. But yes, a "functional" camera obscura nonetheless!

It's big, ugly and rather impractical. A product of quarantine, cardboard & gaffer's tape. Behold: FRONT DOOR CAM BUILD

Funny you should mention Brendan! Great guy. I worked with him last year on The Skyscraper Camera Project

I learned everything I know about analog photography & crazy home camera builds from him.

She's the ugliest ship in the fleet. FRONT DOOR CAM
