I was able to find one at a really good price yesterday. So today I put it on a board and tomorrow afternoon I'll shoot a couple of sheets with it & see what...

Are there readily-available thread adapters for putting a lens built for a Copal/Compur #3 into, perhaps, an Ilex #4? (or whatever would be the suitable...

I wanted some sort of shutter for the Nikkor. (That or shoot stopped way down all the time!) So the question is one of mounting. SInce this is a budget/hobby...

Yesterday I was talking to a LF camera shop. They can't get in enough Ebony 8x10 cameras to satisfy demand! And that's no cheap camera, either. (roughly...

I got with a used camera a Polaroid 545 back. It included one Polapan sheet, so I used it to experiment with. Just to see how things work. Can the backs be...

Well, the 2D arrived in great shape. Unfortuantely 1 pin is missing off the 8x10 back and the 4x5 back has finishing nails as pins. I'd like some with a...

The 2D is in nice shape. I got the Ilex 12" mounted last night and will try to shoot some this Sat. My other lenses are an old Fujinon-W 210/5.6, so I'll...

I got a box for myself as well. Midwest Photo finally got in the 4x5 Acros 20-sheet boxes. (They have the quickload as well.) Collin

I recently picked up one of those old Fujinon W 210/5.6 for use with both the 8x10 and the 4x5. The image circle is reportedly a generous 352mm, leaving about...

(I'm almost ready to give up my 4x5 hobby just because of this.) With our favorite and almost-favorite films disappearing from the scene would it be practical...

I'd like to find some other LF users around Columbus with whom to get together. Anyone want to start a little group? email me. Collin

I got my first experiences with it this weekend. It's the 8x10 sheet film. Extremely thin base. Feels like paper. A big change from TMax 100! It came...

The Bergger & FortePan are the only two sheet films I've seen that rate ISO200. But the Bergger definitely performs better with .5 or 1 stop extra, making it...

Looking at my personal processing/printing history (specifically, the characteristics of negs developed differently over time) it would seem that one might...

I was looking @ a used Symmar 135mm the other day. It was cheap because ... .... when looking straight through it there was a dust on the elements. But the...

I got one cheap (as always). Just requrires replacement of the end spindle. Not a big repair. Anyway, I'm just looking for on-line instructions. Shouldn't be...

I realize the equipment cost is almost exponential. :O But is 11x14 more or less work than 8x10 in these respects ... 1. Dodge/burn contact prints 2. General...

I'm looking @ one @ Midwest and am considering trading up from the Busch D. The reasons for this would be (a) weight I've got a lot of copy work to do and will...

Does anyone make a stereo adapter other than the collectably-priced Pentax unit? I'd like to the the 4x5 & have some creative fun with it & create images for a...
