Well having dealt with MF for i while i decided to go the full Hog and go to Large Format....well actually just big medium format. So did i spend Thousands of Brasillian Zemolions getting out fitted with a Linhof, or Schneider field Camera , i hear you ask
Well, No!
i have spend around $20.00 and picked an AGFA Clack. built ithe mid 1950's in Munich.
Actually for what they are i think a lot of people turn theis nose up at them probably because they are so simple. The various agfa models came 4x4, 6x6 and 6x9 and this is just from some superficial research that i have done. Well the camera that i have aquired is a 6x9, fised shutter speed and 2 F stop settings. Thats it. the only thing more basic would be a pinhole camera. And you would be shooting film at around iso 50 or 100.
But it's a dirt cheap way to explore the possibilities of what one can do. you would really have to work for your photo in terms of forethought. Execution is rather simple.
I guess it's the Zen approach to capturing images........OhmmmmmCLACK.......OhmmmmmCLACK
