It's a Shen-Hao 4x5 large format field camera :)

and it's a thing of beauty.

Now the hunt is on for a film supplier and processing lab until I can get my own darkroom setup

Wow...it is a thing of beauty. If you are going to shoot b&w I encourage you to learn how to do your own developing. It will provide you with the ultimate in creative control as well as satisfaction.

As I have never tried color processing I can only say it is expensive when you can find it. Good luck and I look forward to seeing some results.

Best regards,
