Unknown photographer showing his Speed 45.
Actually the SG is upgraded from 4x5 - 8x10 Exceptional innovation turning the SG in a 810 novelty!.
I'm pretty sure if this man would hear or read about the Aero Ektar, it would be no problem at all to mount the Aero Ektar.

David Burnett is a very successful photo journalist whose work you will have seen someplace (like, for example, on this site). What's interesting about him is that he uses a Speed Graphic with Aero Ektar mounted. He also uses a Speed Graphic with a Ernostar 125mm .
Actually David inspired me to publish this Site..

You've met John D. already as the author of this Site (see Whois JohnDesq) " The Master Site of the larger camera"
Being a LF photographer for quite some years, now thanks to David discovering the potentials of Barrel lenses, especially the Aero Ektar (Must I mention this again?) Where I came from...

This is our second combo with the Aero Ektar mounted in the latest lens board Mod IV by Jo Lommen.
As a view camera user also, I am still playing with the thought to mount it with the back barrel complete inside the front standard.
Mounted like modern lenses on view cameras it would minimize vignetting while using movements. This will be a major operation as the front standard must be adapted.... Actually I did on my Son's combo...

Jo Lommen is known to readers of this Site already. Jo managed already to mount an 7 inch Butcher Aldis f3.4 on one of his Speed Graphics.
Yes, you've guessed it the next step was also the Aero Ektar. Eventually he became an expert on mounting Aero Ektar lenses. Making a flat lensboard with adapted hole for the AE has proven to work allright. Ask Jo if you are in need of a custom board.

Sebastien is an advanced amateur photographer. Here is his statement:
I got bored from plastic-looking digital pictures with their huge DOF. First, I bought a MF Fuji G690 (the old model with interchangeable lenses), but the result was not as good as expected. Then I bought a Linhof 5x7 with an old Xenar f/4.5 210mm. Great camera, but I was not entirely satisfied with out of focus rendering in the pictures.
So I just bought a 4x5 Speed Graphic and an Aero Ektar on eBay to try the Aero path...

Georges is from Ferrières in French-speaking part of Belgium, 25 Km south of Liège.
Georges owns a very fine 4x5 Pacemaker Speed dated 1953. It is in near perfect condition, having been used as a demo-camera only by some Graflex representative in the US.
Once a CLA is done by Jo the camera is ready for the Aero Ektar.
Georges wants to make the jump to the Burnett Combo soonest.
In between acquired a nice Anniversary, as already known the Anniversary does not have a tilt option like the Pacemaker.
Not mandatory, but a possibility to narrow the depth of field even further, Georges made up his mind and now wants to mount The AE on a Pacemaker instead.
As a pending member, Georges found an alternative set of images to present himself... Refreshing indeed!

Resume of Mael Bilquey:
" I was born in 1976. I spent my early childhood in Mauritany and french Guyana. I live in France now. I learned photography with my father and his Nikon F2, and enjoyed it through the hundreds of Kodachrome slides he took in different countries. I develop and print my own pictures since I'm 15. I did several jobs, like auto or airplane mechanic. I then worked in an aeronautic technical office, but my growing passion for all types of cameras made me left this job. Now I am creating my own business, an online vintage camera sell, buy and repair shop, as my personnal experience had tought me repairing over hundred types of cameras. I discovered the Aero for the first time on a well-known auction site. I did not know what to do with this lens, but it seemed kind of cool lens. I did not have enough time to plan a satisfactory project with it, so I decided to resell it, and Jo Lommen was the guy who bought it, and gave me all the clues for what to do with this lens. I then realised the Speed Graphic was the perfect camera for it, and I bought a beautiful anniversary, and another aero. I ordered someone to custom-machined shim and retaining rings, I adjusted the Kalart rangefinder to the lens, and now I have a perfect and strong combo. As the anni does not have sufficient movements, I put shims under the Speed Graphic front door and the tripod head to obtain this spectacular thin depth of field. I hope you will enjoy this kind of combo like all of us did ! "

Resume of Tudor Owen:
I picked up my aero lens on a whim while browsing ebay early this year. The speed caught my eye, and it was only a few pounds so I bought it. I have since found out a awful lot about the lens and Graflex cameras, (which is how I came to this site) as well as moving towards large format and away from my preferred 6x9 for film work. It's acquisition was a kind of punctum in my understanding and practice of photography. I am at the moment what's called a 'House husband' - I was a student when the children happened - So photography is a hobby for me until they have grown a bit. At the moment I have employed my bodgit & bashit diy skills to fit the lens to an anniverary graphic. Using one of the old bakelite type lens panels with a 76mm hole screwed on to the thread of the AE - like a self tapping screw! Sounds an awful thing to do but works a treat. Once I manage to get hold of a retaining ring I'll fit it to my pacemaker. For now I'll just get on and make some pictures.

Profession: Business Process Consultant
Analog Photography since: 1978 Completely switched to digital Photography: 2005 Abandoned digital photography (except for my cell phone): 2006

Favorite Cameras: Small Format: LOMO, Konica Hexar RF with Leica 50mm Summilux 1.4 (old version) Medium Format: Minoltacord TLR, Diana Large Format: Speed Graphic Burnett Combo with AERO EKTAR, INKA Large Format with Rodenstock 135mm Apo-Sironar N, Wooden Pinhole Camera

History. I did digital photography… 2 or 3 million pictures, which are rotting on hard drives or DVDs…. I sacrificed the fun of photography to what is called „progress“. It comes with the daily fear, that there is a better, newer version of the digital camera that you just acquired, with a better sensor, faster menus – so that you can buy yet another camera that is obsolete by default, because “important features” are missing… And the industry tells you “your pictures are better with a new camera.”… Is that fun?

Scene Change.: The world is crazy… my uncle gives me his darkroom and starts with digital photography. He is now is annoyed with compatibility problems and his printer… while his 40 year younger nephew sneers at him… and goes back to the basement and rediscovers the alchemy of analog photography.

Vari-e-ty. Analog photography is not necessarily slow – we know that from the „Dianas“ and „Lomos“. While the digi-cam auto focus still tries to find out what is going on, the Lomo users already made a couple of shots. Or, being slower, one tries the meditative approach and uses a large format camera – and rediscovers the art of photography. Analog pictures are alive. And each camera has its own personality. This is especially true for cameras that are hand-built and use genuine components – like the Speedgraphic Burnett Combo with the AERO Ektar. Not necessarily the easiest to carry, it comes with “lot of soul”.

Movement and Repose: To rediscover photography by going back to the source is not only fun, it also comes with the artistic satisfaction, which no upgrading-madness can ever achieve. The group of those who rediscover that repose is progress, grows daily.

John Lawrence:
I would like to join the group and can submit both a resume and photos, I'll look into how to do that on your site. Inclosed please find some very lo-rez photos of one of the Super Graphics I modified for use as a wide angle close up camera. I started with a Speed Graphic and wanted a rotating back so I went with a SuperG and have made a few, always adding a little more with each mod. I have a website with floral (cactus )taken with the SuperG at: johnlawrencephotography.com I live in the Los Angeles area of California, so lots of desert, lots of spiky things, so most of the photos were taken within 50 miles of home. I wanted to do very close work, mostly inside or close to inside of the plants, trying for a different look. I used the very wide angle XL series of lenses, in 38 or 47mm, sometimes I'll use a 65, kind of gets me a better standoff, typically with very out of date Kodak Technical Pan in Rodinal 1:100, which I love. I have visited your site before it went private, just got an Aero Ektar and will use an old Anniversary body as a mount, and I'll keep you posted as to how it goes. Thanks again for the excellent site and information.
P.S
Do any of the group ever get to Los Angeles? Please extend an invitation for at least one days worth of shooting, site seeing to the group if they are in the Los Angeles area.

Regards, John Lawrence

I already owned a Master Technika, but after buying the Aero Ektar, I felt the need to own a Speed Graphic aswell...
I have been an aerial photographer till 2001 and retired since.
Experimenting with lenses and adapting accessories is one of my hobbies. I'm looking forward to try the Aero Ektar as soon as possible. On the moment I have made the AE operational on my Linhof Technika.

I am a news photographer and work for Getty Images based in Washington DC. I am a new comer to large format photography. My company supplies me with all the latest high end Canon equipment. I work in a fast passed environment where there is a deadline every minute since the advent of the internet. LF lets me slow down and smell the roses. I happen to have a boss that loves the old school large format look and from time to time will send me out on LF projects. We always like to be different than the other guy and LF gives me a chance to be real different. I found JohnD's awesome site while goggling David Burnett's work with the Aero Ektar. I am in the process of building my own AE/SG combo. After looking at the site I learned that every question I had about AE's or Graflex products in general can be answered here. I recently built my own very light and portable rangefinder 4x5 camera using an old Polaroid 450 which already had a Zeiss rangefinder. I used a 127 Rodenstock lens off a Polaroid 110B and trimmed down a Graflok back and attached it to the back. I works great! I also use a Crown Graphic and should have my AE/SG Combo in service soon.

I own Aero Ektar EE10943 mounted on an Anniversary Speed Graphic.
I sold my first news picture when I was 15, a traffic accident, taken with a Speed Graphic of course! I worked as a news photographer for 20 years after University using Nikons, as the Speed Graphic news era had passed. My last full time news job was as director of photography for the Edmonton Alberta Sun. I live in Richmond Hill, Ontario Canada, near Toronto,and since the mid 1980's have worked as a database administrator.
Now I shoot mostly for fun, live theater, headshots, urban landscape. Some digital, as well as medium and large format film.

Working on it..

Jump to Gallery New entries are temporarily halted!

I have been a professional photographer who shoots mostly digital for four years now but my passion for photo began by buying a old Ciroflex TLR and running a roll of Tri-x through it. That experiment with a classic camera got me hooked on film. I would never dream of giving up shooting film in any format, large or small. Shooting film hones my skills and photographic instincts and 30 years from now I will still be able to simply hold the negative up to light and see what has been recorded, no computer necessary. Though I am fluent in the use of digital editing software, I still crave the artistry that black and white film and the Aero-Ektar combo gives me. Its something which is so direct, simple, and visceral. Like a friend of mine once stated "There just something about working with a large negative that is magical". The Aero-Ektar/Speed Graphic combo gives me that and more!

The picture of me and the camera is taken with the Speed Graphic. Although a digital version of it. I attached my Nikon D70 on the back of the Speed Graphic, thus turning the Aero Ektar into at telephoto lens. As you see, I have the top rangefinder version. I was hoping to have a really versatile camera, with a lot of lenses with corresponding cams. I managed to find a P88 cam that should fit with the Aero Ektar. But of course, the camera has been calibrated for the original 135mm, and the P88 cam won't tune into infinity, as it's slightly lower than the 135mm cam. If I understand it correctly, the rangefinder is calibrated at infinity with the aid of a master cam, and then all other cams are adjusted according to this. At the moment I'm really not sure what to do ... Would you have any idea? Now. For me. I was educated as a photographer/visual artist at Konstfack in Stockholm. I earn my bred and margarine by teaching photograpy at the Bergen National Academy for the Arts here in Norway. In the evening, after the kids have gone to sleep, I write children's books. My fifth is due in May.

Resume:
=======

My first photo class was in high school in 1994 and from there I was a staff photographer on our award winning yearbook. Throughout college I didn't take many photographs but after college I started getting interested in it again after I bought a Nikon N80. Since then, I've enjoyed doing a lot of travel, street, and landscape photography. Currently, my interests are in using toy cameras (holga, lomo fisheye, etc), stereo 3d cameras (loreo, realist), and using my speed graphic/aero combo. I first got interested in the speed graphic/aero ektar combo after seeing David Burnett's pictures of the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in the National Geographic Magazine. I loved the effect and quality of his images. I contacted him about it, found Jo Lommen, and bought a speed graphic and ektar lens on ebay. I've been shooting with the speed for a little over a year and it's still my favorite camera.

I don't believe in photography I wrote in my thesis at the academy of arts where I gratuated on painting in 1998. It will not surprise you that a lot has happened in a decade.
Many of these events, such as the digital era, strongly emphasized this believe. However the event of getting my first Aero Ektar ( I've never believed in Sony either) made me somewhat of a charlatan.
In my defence the Aero Ektar does not make photographs but can, as the only machine I encountered thus far, really capture the moment. It leaves no hesitation or doubt nor room for the interpretor. The man behind the camera saw something and shows it to the world.
As he blinks his eye, a moment is transferred into reality.

Background experience is as I mentioned in my application.
I am a professional landscape photographer working in black and white, with some still life work also. I also run my own gallery which sells my and other photographers' work too. Lately, I have been working with toy cameras in addition to my normal range of (mainly) rangefinders, and found them to be successful commercially, as well as gratifying to use for their image qualities. Having now bought two Speed Graphics, the latest with an Aero Ektar, I will be expanding my range of work I started with the toy cameras, and am very excited by the prospect! (My camera with the Ektar used to belong to Matt Bigwood, evidently).

User experience: Free lance, my first contact with photography takes me to the fifties at age of seven years old in Lima, Peru my born country. I use to go often to the "portrait studio" of a Japanese photographer who taught me the first rudiments. Years later, around the seventies I met Minor White. I took my first steps into the Zone System and keep in contact with him until his death in 1976. Later, I move to France to continue studies. In the eighties I enter the Pasteur Institute to manage the photomicrography lab and teach photography through the microscope at the "teaching center". A growing interest in psycho-analysis and the study of dreams took me back to university to study Art-Therapy. I do some work with Maud Mannoni at the Bonneuil school and introduce camera work for creativity and therapeutics. My photographic has been show in Madrid and twice in "Primavera Fotografica" de Barcelona.

JUST addicted, sinds JULY 2008.
For the moment busy acquiring the Machine... I was born in Italy in 1977. I am living in the Netherlands since 2004. I always wanted to try so many cameras as possible. I have been exploring my passion for photography for almost teen years. After many years of work in fashion photography I decided to switch my work to landscape/architecture and portraiture; more to a documentary side. I work with digital flow but not really with pleasure. At the moment I am working almost only 4 x 5". After I met John d. de Vries , in summer 2008, I understood the unicity and the expressive power of the Speed Graphic/Aero Ektar. Thanks to John and to David Duhan I am now able to express my self at f 2.5.

resume: I live and work in Italy, photographer since 2000, I'm very attracted by social reportage. My photos were published in various newspapers, magazines and websites. I have several reports of travel in Asia including Tibet, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand. I still haven't try a Speed graphic but i hope to do it soon for my next projects. Some of my works can be viewed to www.fabriziorossiello.com Regards Fabrizio

resume: My first camera was a Mamiya Ze 35mm that was back in 1984. Since then I have moved on through Yashica, Minolta, Canon Analog cameras up to the digital EOS 1D. For the last several years I've been shooting mainly with the 1D but also medium format with a Pentax 6x7. Recently I acquired my Speed Graphics and also now own a Kodak 2D 8X10. I am not a professional photographer but photograhpy is part of my daily life. A day without a camera or making a photo to me is a lost day. I really love the large format cameras and I'm setting up to print my own contacts. I am from Texas, but have been living in Germany now for over 20 years. I'm excited about the next few months and years with the Speed Graphics and Aero combination.

resume: The SG/AE combo can be a key/tool leading every user through that special door into an astonishing new photographic world. However once there and returning to your own photographic world, you have to realize, not only the tool can create great images, you will need passion, love and creativity. Like Ansel Adams once said, "The most important part of the camera is the few inches behind the Camera." It is clear then the SG/AE combo is not only a fine tool/instrument, but a camera that enables you to translate and make visible the images that come directly from your heart!

I like to shoot wide open. The aero ektar is my dream-lens.

Thank you very much for your website, it was very helpfull for achieving my SG/AE project !!! That's done now, by the way of a beautiful Anniversary with Graflok back.
Still photographer living and working in the south of France, my first camera, thirty years ago, was a rangefinder one. Principally interested by portrait and fashion, I accord a great importance to BOKEH, so the "Burnett Combo"is the nicest choice, do you know what I mean ?

Herewith is my resume I am a young Editorial and Documentary Photographer who is still in school for photojournalism. I have just recently discovered the SG/AE combo and bought my first 4x5 and aero-ektar. I have shot projects in central America and Israel as well as domestically in the USA. Right now I'm working on an essay about cowboy culture and a story about about the lack of Guatemalan medical care for poor children. my work can be seen at Redphotogroup.com.

Herewith is my resume: 69 yrs old, retired Dutch studio-photographer. I love my Aero Ektar f:2.5 178mm. This lens is a real beauty. I started using the AeroEktar on my 4x5" CrownGraphic. On the CG I was missing the possibilities of the fast SpeedGraphic-shutter. For that reason I temporarely used a large (although simple) Gitzo shutter. I could use this shutter because it just fitted over the AeroEktar. This shutter was only capable of 1/25 sec and T or B + flash!
But it is very difficult to use this slow shutter without a heavy tripod. Finally I found a nice SpeedGraphic on the Internet. I had the Kalart focusing of this SG specially adapted to the AeroEktar. Now I could use the complete range of my shutter. And it was possible to shoot without using a heavy tripod. Nevertheless the SG + AeroEktar-combo is heavy!
But it is a pleasure using this unique "combo". In the meantime I also gave the AeroEktar a "sunbath" because the glass had a little bit yellow discoloration. The yellow color in the lens (caused by a Thorium-componet in the glass) disappeared after a couple of days in the sun. It was an improvement of about one stop! Now my f:2.5 AeroEktar was really f:2.5! and not something like F:3.5 or F:4.0

The wonderful lenshood and filterholder for the SG can be ordered at Jo Lommen. The lenshood gives an improvement of the contrast of the lens (less scattering of light). And now I can also use standard 77mm filters on my lens. I am not anymore limited to the (very rare) original yellow and red filterset for the AeroEktar.

User experience: I am a Fashion, Beauty, Portrait & fine art Photographer. After working three years with digital equipment, I switch to analog with the venerable Speed Graphic/Aero Ektar Combo. Just got the camera in and I felt in love immediately. Very, very soon I will upload my first results.

Why switching?? On the moment I use a Hasselblad H & Phase One P30 system that will be for sale shortly. Most of my images are done with the Hasselblad/Phase One combo. The Lighting I use is only one Profoto 600 unit with a beauty dish mounted, that's all I need.

I am a photographer for only three years now, so I'm quite new in the scene. I loved to shoot Polaroids and was always looking for lenses with extreme Bokeh. As I came to learn, digital equipment and Photoshop can not deliver what I want in my images. The irresistible and appealing Bokeh I am looking for can not be done in Photoshop.

That is the main reason of my jump to this beautiful Combo. Took some Polaroids with my new camera and the results were just, just .....Magic. No corrections were needed, no more hours in Photoshop, back to the Darkroom and to real Photograhy!

I was born in England 1980. I spent five years on Tanegashima, a tiny island in southern Japan. Returned to England in the summer of 2009, keen to pursue a career in photography. Long live film!

John Austin has very recently retired from commercial photography and now devotes his time to photographing for himself and developing his sales and gallery representation as a fine art black and white photographer. His photographs are in many collections including the Australian National Library, the National Portrait Gallery, the Art Gallery of Western Australia and Curtin University "John Patterson, friend of mine, has asked me to cleanhis Anniversary Speed Graphic for him. The camera obviously has had a lot of rough use and very rough repair. By "clean" John means strip the black leather covering off and turn it into a pseudo wooden camera with polished metal fittings, but I have decided to leave the original leather on it let it show its battle scars

The first time I saw this camera in 2008 I looked at the focal plane shutter mechanism out of curiosity. First slit A and the lowest shutter tension of 1. It worked, then I tried slit C with a tension of 3. The camera had a heartbeat! As the sound entered my conciousness I was hooked. I realised this is a camera I should have taken seriously over 30 years ago, but having lived my large format life in the rarified atmosphere of Gandolfi, Sinar and Linhof I had never really considered the Speed Graphic

I owned an f2.5 Aero Ektar in 1962, but sold it to a colleague in 1963. In addition to the Aero Ektar I am interested in using other barrel mounted "lenses of character" on it. My other lens interest is using very wide angles, which with the Speed Graphic's hinged focusing rails is very easy

What I find difficult to keep in mind is that I am only working on this camera for John Patterson

David Burnett was so kind to answer my e-mail about the special lens on his speed graphic and directed me to this wonderful website. Finally I'm ready to start shooting pictures with my combo thanks to Fons the Vries who supplied the yellow dot lensboard+ring and made the necessary adjustments to my Speed Graphic in order to fit the Aero Ektar lens. Working as a mentor at the fotoacademie I noticed how most students always keep buying new digital slr camera's with the latest equipment available meanwhile I found myself romancing towards an era of old flashbulbs and mechanical photography on a much larger scale . . . 4x5. Now let's find out what this Aero Ektar Speed Combo is all about.
Currently I'm working as a mentor at the fotoacademie and freelance photographer in Groningen.
