My new baby! & a new forum :)

hola hola!!!

That's a real beauty.

BTW, you didn't steal those images from eBay, I presume? You only bought the camera :-)

Sean,
just a quick tip - I have a half plate Lancaster of similar vintage which is fitted with the TP roller blind shutter. The blind on mine is quite porous, but otherwise runs at 1/30 quite happily. If you find yours leaks light it shouldn't be too hard to replace the blind.

There was a thread in the camera mods forum which gave details of a japanese seller who could supply suitable cloth and he even shows how to rebuild a shutter curtain. I'm yet to order anything from him but will get around to it soon as I have three TP shutters that need rebuilding.

BTW that is a beautiful camera. I try to buy cameras that will be used, if only occasionally, and I'm sure that using that one will be a very pleasurable experience.

Looks like a dandy glad you got it! Have much fun and share it with us!

Hey Sean,
that looks like the one that I sold to the Camera Exchange in Melbourne in 1990, even down to the three holders.

Congrats, she looks lovely.

Is this an example of the camera you said you would mail to each APUG subscriber as a way of thanking us

Sean, that's one beautiful camera. Congrats on the snag.

If the trip back to Kiwi Land from the conference is too long, you could always stop over in New Mexico so I could fondle it, too.

Great, now we'll NEVER get any work done. You know what a talking point that'll be out in the field.

So does this mean an impending change in avatar ... ?

Sweet axe, man.

[colrehogan]

Cool!

[roteague]

Awesome .... I wonder if it will shoot Velvia
