Well-known
Not many posts on the Graflex XL here, so I thought I would put one on. Just purchased the above camera with the Carl Zeiss PLANAR 80MM f2.8 lens + RH-8 (wind on back). Lens had paint flakes in it and rangefinder was off. Cleaned up lens, synchronised rangefinder, and after finding out the 6x9 back only produces negs 78mm wide, put on a RB67 back instead. Shot the first roll on Portra 160 today mostly at f5.6 with a couple at f2.8 + f4. Lets see how it performs.
If the planar is really good, I have plans to transfer it to another camera (scale focus), but with a better 6x8/6x9 back.
