Veriwide 100 or Lomo LCA-120 anyone?

[Huss]

I like this camera. A lot. Using old Fuji Pro 160





And crop from above:



It's actually quite a bit sharper than what is shown, there's that wonderful Flicker resizing algorithm again!

I have 2 of these through luck alone. 1st version and the 2nd one with multi levels. I shoot both regularly as ultra wide angle photos are best viewed as LARGE prints.

This is in the Santa Monica mountains; it used to be a combination of trees, bushes and chaparral. The recent fires destroyed everything.

Amazing camera. Very pricy! What did this camera cost back in the day? And when did it go out of production?

I've wanted the original Veriwide for a very long time. Still contemplating. I could sell some stuff I'm not using and get one. Just haven't found the right deal.

Need a Veriwide strap?

Yep that's the one I have. It is such a beautifully made camera and so silky smooth to use. I much prefer it to my Fuji 690. My last roll - image above - was shot on Ilford 3200 as I was curious to see how to expand the shooting envelope as the max aperture is f8.
With ISO 3200 you in essence have an f2.8 lens at iso 400 exposure-wise.
A min aperture of f32 makes things very useable with ISO 3200.
I was surprised at the lack of grain in the image - perhaps from overexposure then dev the film at box rating, which is how I shot it.

Thanks, but given up in using that as the strap lugs are very small and I've seen a few cameras with them broken off.

Yes in my experiences with MF slow lenses, high speed film is the answer for handholding. I am also doing the same thing with 120 Delta 3200 with my Plaubel Makina IIIR, and the 73mm F6.8 Plaubel Orthar. I really like this one but I want WIDER. This camera will complete my Plaubel systems.

Not as wide as the 47mm Super Angulon, I am a huge fan of that lens. I have a copy already in a shutter, that I use on my Sinar 4x5 Norma, with roll back. The Veriwide is a very small package for what it is.

If I can find a good one at a good price I'll grab it.
