Well the HF3535 (35x35 inch) view camera is on its way from the Czech Republic. As you can see from the ratio of Fed Ex van and camera box, this baby is HUGE. The box weighs over 150 lbs.
THANK YOU so much to Filip Harbart from HF camera for making this beautiful, wonderful tool for me. I hope to use it into my 70s for the photo project AMBROTOS KANATA. I will set it up for the first time about the time of my 57th birthday in Edmonton, Canada. NOW THAT'S A BIRTHDAY PRESENT, the best of my my lifetime!
Lots more to follow. I plan on starting up a YouTube channel that deals with AMBROTOS KANATA, this camera and other adventures over the 15 or so years I HOPE the project will run.
