Testing a Graflex XLSW 46A 3-12-2021 #2<\/p><\/div>\n

This shot is made with a Graflex XLSW. I was testing it out here at the house. There are a couple of cameras built around the Schneider 47mm Super Angulon f8 lens. Brooks made two versions of the Veriwide, and Graflex made a special version of their medium format XL camera that was designed for this lens. I\u2019ve posted a lot of shots I made with a camera I assembled out of parts of a Brooks Veriwide and a Graflex XLSW. This is actually a whole Graflex XLSW. I wanted to see if it\u2019s significantly different from the camera I\u2019ve been using. The test negatives from both cameras are very good. Not sure what I\u2019m going to do with two such similar cameras, maybe get one of them ready to sell\u2026 I really like the lens and having a small, super wide camera that shoots 6X9cm film. If you’re interested in a Superwide roll film camera send me a message at john@siskinphoto.com. Thanks for your interest and support!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I did a large show when I was still in Indianapolis called Courting Chaos<\/a>. The link will take you to the pages which describe the work and its evolution. These images are, well, chaotic and many of them are nudes. I hope you\u2019ll find it interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
