The photo was taken with the lens of a Graflex Speed Graphic, a slab camera produced from 1935 to 1939, and used mainly by photojournalists of the time. The size of the plates is 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches, i.e. 82 x 108 mm.

The target was set to the A7r via a bellows and duct tape.

I'd say the old target is doing very well.
Beautiful, good job.
Congratulations! Sergio ;-) :-P

Actually the old lenses sometimes reserve pleasant surprises 8-)
Good appetite!

Nice result where you recovered the bellows? You have to do the same thing with a Ross xpress that was used for aerial reconnaissance during World War II

Thank you Durden!
the bellows is still what I used to be... or rather that I never used... OM1.
The oM lens adapter attachment.
The Ross xpress unfortunately I don't have it... :-(
Good day,
Roberto

Proving that sharpness, microsaercosy, 54 lenses in 15 groups, ED glass, aspheric lenses, stabilization and autofocus are not everything

Thank you Renato ;-)
Thank Durden ;-)
The credit isn't the 54 lenses, but the painttape I used to attach it to the machine :-D
Have a good day for everyone!
Roberto
