   I am curious what differences there were other than using
flash. The flare in the original looks a little like
spherical aberration. What were the stops used for the two
images? And what lens?
   BTW, the camera appears to be an early 4x5 Anniversary
Speed Graphic. I have a very early one, maybe even
pre-production. It has a shallower box than later ones. A
Graflex type solenoid can't be used on it because the front
won't close over it. I asked Roger Adams about this but he
had no idea. The serial number puts it around 1939 or 1940,
right at the beginning of production.
