Do you have to wind it up Tony ?

 

and has it been treated against woodworm ?

 

What a cracking looking piece of equipment, what are the advantages of using that over a modern camera and is that turny knob bottom middle at the back the FL adjustment ?

Hi Dean the main advantage over over most modern digital cameras is quality. you put a 5 inch x 4 inch sheet of film in the back and you can blow it up to a five foot poster without losing any quality. The turny knob at the back is how you focus the thing

 

Have a look at this site he's a mate of mine the black & white work is outstandinghttp all taken on a 5x4 field camera ://www.virtuallygrey.co.uk/
