Seattle Folklife 2010

We spent some time at the Seattle Folklife festival this year. Among the characters, there was this guy offering to take a punch in the gut for $5. Donna was excited about this but after watching him take a punch, she decided to give him $10 and just kick him in the nuts instead .

Aero Ektar

I finally won an eBay auction to get one of these classic lenses which led to the second problem. How do I mount this beast on my Graflex Speed Graphic. I considered a few options but decided to go with a custom manufactured option from Jo Lommen. I am impressed with the quality of this lens board and worked perfectly with the lens and camera. I got my son to sit for the first test shot, on Fuji fp-100b, with this winning combination. Unfortunately 1 shot is all he could give me before he headed off to work.

For more information visit Jo’s web site and learn more about this historic lens.

Here is a picture of the lens so you can get an idea how large this beast actually is (compare it to the nickel right beside it).
