See http://www.PaulRoark.com/ and http://www.elverhoj.org/index.html . I'm still using predominantly Leica-M glass, but now on a Sony a7rii that has had the KoloriVision Ultra Thin cover glass swap. At the Elverhoj I'll also have a small exhibit of the cameras I've used, including a working version of the Graflex 4x5 SLR. See http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Auto_Graflex. The old Graflex, with a good enlarging lens substituted for the original optic, made a great macro photography setup for me when I was a kid. This camera, with it's large and relatively slow focal plane shutter, was one that resulted in those old photos of race cars where they are "leaning forward" due to the movement of the car during the exposure. The camera may have been set to 1/1000 of the second, but it takes a lot longer than that for the small opening in the shutter to travel across the 4x5 frame. Paul www.PaulRoark.com
