@HEMIDAV Hello, Ever wonder why some of those old photos are so clear after almost 77 years? A large format camera with a negative that is 15 times or larger than the ever popular 35mm film camera? A sheet of 5×7″ film has almost twice the resolution of 4×5″ film, and 4×5″ is almost 16 times larger than a 35 mm film image (24×36 mm). This added negative size not only allows for more detail, but the large format polyester film is also far more durable than acetate 35 mm stock. Note: Ansel Adams used all sorts of cameras, but an 8x10 super large format becomes crystal clear in most photos taken on a tripod. Who the heck holds the camera in their hands? The 4x5 camera was heavy enough and used by pros and news photographers… in the photo: Malibu Colony area... early So Cal The photo shows a down view Graflex 4x5 or 5x7 camera. The advantage is the down view gives full shots from ground level or lower levels for a different look than eye level. How heavy? Look at the strain on the right hand and it is even leaning towards and on the body… Jnaki Our dad had an old Graflex camera with a hard shell case that neatly fitted the equipment. It was a heavy case when fully loaded with film, camera, flash, light meter and lens shades. Cannon shot flash bulbs were the best!!! One press of a button and it shot across the room... but, very hot! The full case was too heavy at times and he had the two brothers carry some photo stuff in our hands, as he took photos or carried the loaded case. 1948-49 Westside of Long Beach, small Craftsman House
1937 British Ford, Model 62. It was a V8 60 car, and they had a larger automobile that had the typical ‘37 Ford look and the 221 V8.
