EQUIPMENT & FILM
The majority of the photographs for this project where created with two, approximately 75 year old, Speed Graphic 4×5 view cameras, using various lenses. All film images were made with black and white silver gelatin films.
I also used a Mamiya C330 medium format camera, a Nikon F2 35mm camera, and an AGAT 18K half frame Russian camera.
Lenses ranged from 65mm & 80mm for the Mamiya, and 50mm for the Nikon. The AGAT has a built-in 28mm lens – about equal to a full frame 35mm’s 50mm.
Photographs for a future book with be all from the Speed Graphic 4×5 cameras.
All film was hand processed by me in a home darkroom using Kodak HC-110, Legacy Pro L110, and Diafine developers.
Some images on the website are digital image made with a Sony a6000.
