I've got a new toy. It's an Eastman No. 2 view camera for 7x11. I really like this format. I've been using a lot of 7x11 paper, and now I've got real film holders for that size! Using a well made holder is such a luxury compared to my homemade contraptions!

Today I made this first photograph with it, a paper negative. The negative was a bit overexposed, but I had fun using the camera and I think it's going to be great for making paper negatives and calotypes for salt printing.

The camera was made sometime between about 1914 and 1921.
Lens is an 11" Wollensak velostigmat that I've been using for some time.
