Dan, You probably have heard this already, but I thought I'd chime in. JdMvW's Camera is correctly oriented. Note the strap (on the R), the 4x5 wire frame and the metal eyepiece for adjusting distance. The hood is over the lens end, not the ground glass. I carried a Super Speed Graphic (made by Graflex Corp) in Vietnam in '68-'69, Heavy piece of gear compared to the Nikon F. See my Crown Graphic attached.

<p>I have had both my IIIC, and M3 repaired by Youxin Ye. and I must add my praise to the accolades he has already received. My 1947 IIIC needed the split image replaced, and both camera and lens were in need of a CLA. Camera looks and functions as when new. The M3 was lost in a flooded home and when found was considered destroyed. It was covered in mold and dirt in and out. When Youxin was finished with the M3 you wouldn't have believed it to be the same camera or lens. I use it as my daily shooter and it's perfect. The man works miracles. I have also purchased an M2 and two lenses from him and his prices are modest for what he delivers. May he live long and prosper!</p>
