- WAJDA PHOTO: Real World Experience - Seneca 5x7 Camera
My experimental photo with the 5x7 (I didn't have a cable release long enough or a self-timer that would work, so I tripped the shutter, ran into the shot, held still for a few seconds, ran back and closed the shutter.): images.squares...

I have a Century Cirkut 5x7 and love it.
Nice. I looked it up. Very cool.
That's an interesting point about 5x7, thanks Kenneth!
Thanks Dmitry.
The Seneca looks a lot likethe Kodak 2D. I have one on the way to use to shoot Harmon direct positive paper.
I've never used photo paper. Maybe one day soon.
@@kennethwajda Under natural light it’s fairly easy. Studio strobes are a challenge I’ll be taking up. ISO is 3!
@@rafriedman Nice. Report back, please!
Love my Seneca Improved black enameled beauty - Although they had another model Seneca they called "Black Beauty". The most advanced 5x7 field camera designed in my opinion. Do you shoot green or blue x-ray film? Ps: The 8 1/2" commercial ektar is an absolutely wildly sharp lens.
It's the Kodak so I think it's blue and double sided. I've gone to film more these days. Arista 400 or Ilford HP5.
Beautiful Camera. Is that cherrywood? I once didn't buy a 5X7 camera at a pawn shop because I didn't have an enlarger large enough. Did not think about contact printing. Your comments of the perfect size with a wide white border makes a whole lot of sense!
You can find them pretty inexpensively. I really think it's an ideal size. I would guess it's mahogany, but not sure.
nice review..is it possible to move the back of the camera to the front? or only the front standard backwards..greets
The back does move forward, too. Hi!
I have an improved century which is for all intents and purposes the exact same. I agree with all of your points. the 5x7 is a perfect play camera since it is big enough contact printing for cyanotype, salt printing, etc. I have had mine a year and only had to tape up some bellows to ensure light tightness. Mine has a Packard shutter which is a hoot to use. I think I'll have to invest in a filter system to deal with my limited shutter speeds. Great thing about the Packard is the barrel lens options! All part of the fun.
