Is that a Crown Graphic with an Aero Ektar on it? That is a really neat camera!

Yes it is (unless you want to get picky... its a speed graphic, but I usualy just hold a film holder over the lens instead of trying to use the focal plane shutter) (-: Held together with pipe clamps and electrical tape.

Very nice! I couldn't quite tell from this angle if it had a built in shutter or not. That focal plane shutter on the speed graphic certainly has some mass to it XD. I used to use a century graphic and really liked using the shutter, but it really was unique using that weird weird winding mechanism with the duel number chart to make it work. I still have a Crown Graphic so that is usually what I assume if I can't quite see the shutter or the little name plate XD. That is a really cool camera, I have been trying to get my hands on some cheap aerial lenses for awhile, they tend to be really spendy XD. I am happy you have some really neat cameras, I am sure they are a blast to use!

Here's a picture I took with the aero ektar:

I got it before they became really popular, and mine doesn't have an aperature, so slightly cheaper... I too enjoy my crown graphic, its the camera I've been using the most lately. Someone described the focal plane shutter as window shade technology.
