So for mother's day I took the family to FDR's home in Hyde Park NY. Our daughter, almost 2, was snoozing in her car seat so we had some extra time. I saw a couple antique stores and thought I'd stop in. I walked around the place and didn't find any cameras. Then, just as I was about to leave...I saw a 120 folder. I was hooked.

It's an Ansco Viking. 120 Folder. It's also in need of new bellows and a good cleaning. The GAS attack clouded my thinking and I paid way too much for it. :bang: 4X what I could have gotten it off the bay.

Anyway, I got home too late to post pictures for this edition. Stay tuned.
 
Tada!

Okay so now that the initial shock of paying too much has worn off. I am ready to rebuild!

I thought you might be interested in this thread : Hagar the wandering Viking

Some very nice pictures there taken with the very same camera that you just bought. This Agnar triplet is a very capable lens when stopped down to 8-11 and used at intermediate distances (3-5m/10-17ft).

Cheers,

Abbazz
