    great shots. I was looking at getting a graflex. Can you tilt the back plane?

    @kangiha I have a really old rough up one I manage to get off of ebay for less then $80. It's missing lots of parts. The front slides "Left and Right" also "Up and Down". You could drop the door all the way down and slide the front of the bellows all the way off if you really wanted to move it around. The back on mine isn't the Graflok. I haven't pegged what year it was made yet.

    @clownshoes cool, love the shots you're getting . Are you shooting 4x5 or using a 120 back?

    @kangiha 4x5 Sheet film. I have about 3 holders. I get about 6 shots. They are a pain to load, unload, then load into my Jobo 2500 series tank. After that they are a breeze to develop. Then Scanning is another issue. I take an old tracing light box, remove the lid off my Canoscan 8800 and put it on top of the negative. Then in Vuescan I have it do about 12 passes; if not you get these weird lines. I bought this camera in preparation for a dark room I'm building; not necessarily for lomo. But it's good practice.
