My Sinar f2 is really bright. I use it with the reflex viewfinder. Your ground glass looks to be a Sinar original too?

Hey martin, yes it’s the original Sinar ground glass. I’ll live with it as the pros out weigh this minor thing. Not having to lock the movements, having rise/fall, shift and focus all on the rear standard not affecting perspective is a blow my mind moment. The depth of field scale is going to be gold also.

I would love to try the reflex finder. The misses loves the ease of use and logical process of movements. Also not having to focus after every movement amazing.

It looks a great bundle and in nice condition which isn't always easy to find.
It's just coincidental, because I had my f2 out for a play today.

I didn’t realise you had a f2. I take it you used it indoors? Lol

Yes, and I'm using it in combination with a Sinar autoaperture shutter and brass/historic lenses.
That's one of the major benefits of the sinar system.

Smart combo. Sinar has many benefits

I bought this half-plate camera at auction last week, but neither the camera or lens has a maker's name on it. Does anyone have any suggestions of what it could be? I need to buy some small screws to re-attach the front standard to the hinges at the front of the camera.

It's a Houghton The "Queen", I think.

Looks nice. Good job you got holders with it.
