I used this tripod for years in my studio. One day I saw this face smiling at me and started laughing. This is the head of an aluminum Saltzman tripod that was manufactured in the 1950s or 1960s and I bought it when I bought a color laboratory in Florida in 1978. I kept this piece of equipment for over 23 years and sold it a couple of years ago when I realized that I’d never photograph with large format - 4×5″ or 8×10″ film again. Other photographers have had their photograph taken with this tripod and camera head combination. This is the best platform for a photographing with large format cameras in the field that was ever manufactured and it will still be around when most of the equipment that was used with it has disappeared.
