Я пропустил что Smartflex вдобавок к 4x5-зеркалке теперь делает ещё и 8x10.
Изображение невероятное, надеюсь хлопком зеркала не выбивает стёкла в ближайших машинах.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
A new hand-held (!) large format camera with an SLR finder blew past its goal on Kickstarter within days in the busiest holiday months.
It's called Smartflex: www.analog.cafe/comments/8o4l
Love the idea, but it's certainly not cheap.

Project two completed. I sent out prints to several friends of portraits I made of them with my Smartflex 3445 when we were together in October. All platinum-toned kallitypes.

Okay, I figured out what caused my shutter to stop working (with some not-quite-adequate help from the Smartflex team). There’s a little piece of metal that slides back and forth that activates the linkage. Somehow, at some point, mine slid out and didn’t trigger the shutter any more.

I did NOT back the Smartflex camera on Kickstarter, despite the overwhelming urge. Be proud of me? #GAS #believeinfilm #shootfilmbenice

Found another difference between the Smartflex and th Graflex RB Super D; the Smartflex bellows only extends a couple of inches (50mm, or 1.97 inches to be precise). The Super D is like 3 times that.
Can’t mount my 300mm Fujinon W lens on the Smartflex.

Ok first one is easy. I'm generally really happy with the cameras I have and don't find myself pining for any new ones ... BUT I would buy a 4x5 SLR in a heartbeat if I had the money
