Repairing & Shooting With A Classic 4x5 Film Camera

After five years, I’m revisiting one of my favourite cameras—the Crown Graphic 4x5. Head to https://squarespace.com/kylemcdougall to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code KYLEMCDOUGALL The first ever 4x5 camera that I shot with was a Graflex Crown Graphic. Since then, I’ve been working with a Horseman 45FA. But I have had a Crown Graphic project camera that’s been sitting in my closet for the past year. So, in this video, I’m finally fixing it up, and then I head out for a day to shoot some film with it, including some environmental portraits. It’s a good reminder about how much I enjoy these old cameras and why they’re a good choice if you want to dip your toes in the world of 4x5. *Archival images by Nesster.
