What is your winter project? Or summer project for everyone in the Southern Hemisphere
I finished up my large format clean, lube and adjustments last night. Even though the bellows on my camera seemed to be light tight, they were in rough shape in a few places and were sticky after being collapsed in the storage position. So I decided to go ahead and strip the camera down, give is a good cleaning and replace the bellows.
I went with dark red bellow exterior vs black because, well, I liked the red/black combination better and was able to purchase in the US with quick delivery
The shots below are with the medium format 6x9 sliding back attached. Called a sliding back, because you actually replace the 4x5 back with this one and it has its own 6x9 view screen. So you position the back, compose, focus, etc through the viewfinder, then "slide" the 6x9 120 film holder down into shooting position.
It was a fun January project, now just waiting for good weather to go out and shoot properly. And yes, rain is forecasted again this coming weekend.
