I just came upon an Eastman 2-D. It was my great-grandfather's, and it's in great shape. I've never shot large format before, so what do I need to know?
It's a full suitcase-style kit with tripod, film holders, flash, etc. It's a 5x7 with a Wollensak Velostigmat Series II F4.5 Focus 7 1/4" (see image No. 3 below) and a Wollensak Velostigmat Series III Wide Angle F9.5 (image No. 4 below).
The 7 1/4" lens doesn't have the same sort of shutter speed selector switch as the wide angle lens. It doesn't appear to be broken off or missing, rather it looks like it never had one.
Also, what is the metal contraption in image 5?
Thanks for any help, and I can't wait to post some photos.
