Combat Graflex for sale on Evilbay

Which is just as well, as otherwise, some of them (the cameras, though come to think of it, maybe the collectors as well) would be straight in the bin.

Would any sane person buy an Ektra, Chadt, Periflex, Komlosy, Peckham-Wray, etc. to use in 2011?

There's always the odd-ball. For example: http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-cetera/legotron-mark-i-4x5-camera-made-out-of-lego-2011047/

You did. My bad.

I am neither ambidextrous nor left eye dominant & yet still enjoy using my Ektra. Whether I'm sane is a different question , but for the record, I do draw the line @ the Voigtlander Prominent, though I have thought about giving it another try . . .

I liked the Ektra for the 10 days I owned it me being ambidextrous and my left eye being the dominant one it was quite a pleasure to use .

Well then, what are you waiting for? 150ft rolls of both colour and B+W 70mm are still quite readily available.

I've got a roll of some Kodak 70mm film in the freezer. I want to say it's Plus-X but I don't remember. Don't know what to do with it since I got rid of all my Hasselblad 70mm stuff.

Of course one of those Combat 4x5 Graphics pop up when I'm in no position to bid on it

Mr Flibble, you should see what a friend loaned me. In my basement studio I have a complete, in the case, with flash bulbs, Military Issue (with NSN) Speed Graphic with all the accessories like it was just issued. It's immaculate.

I'm using it for a photo still life project. I'll link you to the pics when I get it done in a few days.

 

[Mr_Flibble]

That sounds like a great set, Pirate! If it has an NSN I would think is a green "KE-12", right? Looking forward to seeing the photos.
