Moving up to LF?
If you are thinking of moving up to LF, please see this auction for a
beautiful ready-to-go 4x5. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7518084011 One of every ten people who looked have put this item on 'watch'. Might be an interesting auction. Maybe. I hope. http://elearning.winona.edu/jjs/watched.gif |

If you are thinking of moving up to LF, If you're moving to LF then I also suggest you consider 5X7 which has : 1) Almost 2X the area of 4X5 2) The cameras are usually only about 25% heavier. 3) Many lenses that cover 4X5 will cover 5X7. 4) A 5X7 negative is adequate for contact printing. 5) 5X7 enlargers are relatively easy to find in contrast to 8X10. And of course there are many of us who prefer the 1:1.4 ratio to the almost-square 4X5/8X10 format. JD - www.puresilver.org |

When I finally became handy with 4x5 it seemed so _small_, and 5x7 and 8x10 began to look good. |

Oh it's a good format for commercial work (what hasn't gone to digital) but when I hold a 5X7 negative up to compare with one of my 5X7's ....... it just isn't a fair comparison ;)) JD - www.puresilver.org |

Can a hetero do that? Anyway, I was browsing your site and the manual for the D5 comes up 404. But would you know of a source, other than the spendy MFG, for a replacement footswitch and cable? best, the Other john |

Can a hetero do that? LOL ! Is that like "Mine's bigger than yours !" ?? Anyway, I was browsing your site and the manual for the D5 comes up 404. Yeah I gotta get that site fixed back up one of these days. Had someone talk me out of frames and it's been broke ever since. But would you know of a source, other than the spendy MFG, for a replacement footswitch and cable? For the Chromegatrol ? Greg Blank(http://members.verizon.net/~gregoryblank) might know. I believe that he used to work for Omega. JD - www.puresilver.org |
