Ernemann Heag XII and Ernostar 15cm f/4.5 9X12 Large Format Camera Manual

Ernemann made high-end cameras for high-end users. When this camera sold new, it sold for more than a Fuji 50S II GFX sells for today, adjusted for inflation. One of the signs of how well made this camera was, at 104 years old, as of this video's recording, this camera's bellow had no pinholes. The specific camera in this video included an Ernostar 15cm f/4.5 lens and most of the image controls were built into that lens' shutter. This video manual covers the camera, the operation, and the basics on how to use this model of camea.

Love it. Thanks for sharing this insight. I love these old cameras. I own a Voigtlander Bergheil 9x12 with a Heliar 15cm F/4.5 from around 1920. I'm getting a 4x5 adapter 3d printed for it as I am struggling to find film/glass plate holders in 9x12.

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you! For a 9x12 plate holder, check with resources in the UK or Europe (I'm assuming your in the US because your used 4x5 and not 5x4.) 9x12 plate holders will be hard to find, I suspect.

[@liveinaweorg]

@@DavidHancock Actually I'm in the UK but used the 4x5 for your audience. They are just a bugger to track down as the early models like mine used a different attachment to the later models. I have a bunch of 9x12 plates from years ago, just want to be able to use them and see how they fare. Fingers crossed!

It would be great to see a few photos shot with this camera!

If only I could. The lens will eventually get a full review.
