A few years back I had this bright idea that I would have a
go at large format photography. I bought
an Ansco 5x7 camera body and then intended to buy a lens and film holders, but
I never did. The problem is the larger
the format, the more hassle they are to operate, though the better the pictures
become. Compared to a 35mm camera, a
medium format can take quite some getting used to, and the same goes for large
format. Recently I dug it out of our
basement where it has sat there collecting dust for several years and decided
to offer it up for sale.
Ansco does have an interesting history as it has strong
connections to Agfa, despite being made in upstate New York. There was even a digital Ansco camera
released in the late 1990s.
Apart from my Leica gear, I am moving towards being almost
totally digital. I sold Nikon FE2
recently due to lack of use, and so the only real film camera I now have that
is younger than 40 years old is my Nikon F100.
