This is my Kodak Master view camera, in a shot taken by the previous owner.

In front of the camera I have a 450mm Nikkor in a Copal 3, and a convertible set consisting
of 9 1/2-inch Gold Dot Dagor and 14-inch Red Dot Artar glass that share a Copal 3 shutter.
(I also have a 19-inch Red Dot Artar in an Ilex 4 mounted on a Horseman board, if you
need one make me an offer.)

Behind the camera I have 8x10-inch film holders that carry sheets of Ilford HP5
(ISO400 black and white negative film). I use Kodak's HC110 as a one-shot
developer, then archivally fix and wash. High resolution scans produce images
interpreted in Adobe Photoshop and printed on an Epson inkjet printer on archival art paper.

It all packs away pretty neatly ... backpack, film cooler, two tripods, a monopod ... in the boat
when there's water, behind my sled when there's not, or an old newspaper buggy when
there's nothing but asphalt.
