With the introduction of Harman/Ilford Direct Positive Paper, photographers are now able to make extremely large one-of-a-kind portraits without the need to enlarge a negative. Huge mobile cameras are being incorporated into a vehicle (van or trailer) and direct photography on a scale unimagined suddenly became possible. The plea was also for affordability since current prices for “big glass” is beyond the aspiring ULF and Historic Process photographer.

This lens was born out of repeated requests for a lens with an image circle large enough to cover 24x30” and larger wet plate/collodion photography. Many of the historic photographic processes use extremely low sensitivity materials, so a lens with a large aperture is very desirable.

A front-mounted Packard pneumatic shutter is an optional accessory using the simple and reliable Cokin mounting system. Choose from either the #5 shutter (“bulb” time only), or the #6 (dual mode type: ’instantaneous” or “bulb” timing).

Bullet-proof, rugged, and almost timeless, many RB67s are battle-hardened veterans. These rugged and durable medium format cameras are very popular. Choose from either a 120mm f:2.1.RB or a 135mm f:2.3.RB Wollaston Meniscus lens. They are a direct fit on a standard RB67. and do not “click” or “lock” into place. Three machined flange “lugs” and three adjustable nylon “tension” screws provide easy-on/easy-off, secure lens mounting.
