Fotoman Cameras?

[24x30]

Hello Chris,

That's odd about the corrosion on the screws - was it exposed to salt water at some stage?

I asked the dealer if it is a used camera, but he denied. He told me that it had not left the box. It doesn't matter anymore, because now it is used . But I will have to change most of them due they are horrible rusty.

Can you show us some of the photos you have taken with it?

I would like to, but I haven't developed all the negs. I got the camera 3 days before I went to spain (I ordered it 3 months in advance), and made only a few testshots. In spain I took about 50 b&w negs, so you have to be patient (maybe a week or two).

4x5 films need not even more time to shoot, they need also more time to be developed.

I'm surprised that I had no takeouts due to adjusting the Body straightly.
Also the results of taking images at low speed (between 1/30 and 1/4) were better than expected.

Some more of my first shots with the 45PS:
