    Big Bertha /Baby Bertha by Daniel W. Fromm Contents 1 Big Bertha As She Was Spoke 1 2 Dreaming of a Baby Bertha 5 3 Baby Bertha conceived 8 4 Baby Bertha’s gestation 8 5 Baby cuts her teeth - solve one problem, find another – and final catastrophe 17 6 Building Baby Bertha around a 2x3 Cambo SC reconsidered 23 7 Mistakes/good decisions 23 8 What was rescued from the wreckage: 24 1 Big Bertha As She Was Spoke American sports photographers used to shoot sporting events, e.g., baseball games, with specially made fixed lens Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras. These were made by fitting a Graflex SLR with a long lens - 20" to 60" - and a suitable focusing mechanism. They shot 4x5 or 5x7, were quite heavy. One such camera made by Graflex is figured in the first edition of Graphic Graflex Photography. Another, used by the Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Telegram, can be seen at http://www.lurvely.com/photo/6176270759/FWST_Big_Bertha_Graflex/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/21211119@N03/6176270759 Long lens SLRs that incorporate a Graflex are often called "Big Berthas" but the name isn’t applied consistently. For example, there’s a 4x5 Bertha in the George Eastman House collection (http://geh.org/fm/mees/htmlsrc/mG736700011_ful.html) identified as a "Little Bertha." "Big Bertha" has also been applied to regular production Graflexes, e.g., a 5x7 Press Graflex (http://www.mcmahanphoto.com/lc380.html ) and a 4x5 Graflex that I can’t identify (http://www.avlispub.com/garage/apollo_1_launch.htm). These cameras lack the usual Bertha attributes of long lens, usually but not always a telephoto, and rapid focusing.

Throughout the world the leading Commercial, Illustrative and Industrial Photographers not only welcomed this series of cameras but proclaimed them the Standard of perfection in their field. The extra size of this series and the extreme double swings at the back and front and the raising, lowering and sliding lens board permit making repro­ ductions of the desired size, showing detail and sharpness of definition, with depth of field control, perspective control, and last but not least image distortion control not possible with the smaller view type of cameras. The use of extra long focus lenses permits making the desired size of image from the correct point of view of even the smallest objects. Freedom from distortion plus superior lighting effects, made pos­ sible because of the greater lens to subject distance, has greatly improved the work of the illustrator as is seen from a study of the results coming from many outside sources.

Image Circle The size of the circular image that lenses project is called the image circle. It is large enough to surround, or cover, the frame of the final image on the film. If you take a lens intended for 35mm film and use it with a larger-sized film, its covering power will not be exten- sive enough. As a result, vignetting, which is the dark- ening of the image’s corners, will occur. In a situation in which the covering power is extremely inadequate, a LARGE FORMAT LENSES LARGE FORMAT darkened circle appears around the image.
