I use the same Calumet View camera - perhaps I've overlooked its strengths and speed! :p

Crown/Speed Graphic maybe but just how and why is he using that camera for that shot? Gotta take your hat off to the bloke for trying though!:)

Or even your strength and speed. ;) Maybe the photographer just likes a challenge?

Indeed! At first, I thought it was a joke. I'm not sure now.

Doesn't David Burnett still use a Speed Graphic for his work from time to time?

I believe so, but he is using the camera for it's intended purpose. The guy in picture earlier in this thread is really making the process difficult.

Looks just like a Calumet, I recently bought the same on Monorail.. Apparently Calumet bought all the molds and such from Kodak a long time ago. Calumet was making only darkroom sinks at the time.
