I got my Speed Graphic Kalart rangefinder working and adjusted for the 152mm Ektar, and I figured out the problem with the Graflex "22" roll film back - it needed a lube with lighter fluid. And then I got the shutter solenoid working with the "light saber" flashgun - no flash, but it makes using the lens shutter much easier.
The 152mm on 120 6x6 is quite a nice portrait lens, and is perfect for the coupled rangefinder.
Now all I need is the Kalart rangefinder extension viewer as the roll film back makes it hard to use otherwise. And a Sherpa to carry all of it around of course. Ergonomic these things aren't.
Old picture, but it still looks the same !
Some of my favorite model - who does not like being photographed !
Also some two-year old pictures taken using the ground-glass. That is a big pain in the bottom. And it looks like I missed some dust, ouch.

These pictures really show off the good points of med format in portraiture. Such a long tonal range and depth. Eg. the arm in the back in #2 is wonderfully out of focus.
