right now i am shooting on an 8x10 dorff.
in the next few months, i plan on going to the next level to 11x14 or 16x20.
i can't decide if i go with a dorff v11 field camera or go with the chamoix 16x10 which allows me to shoot 11x14 as well
i shoot portraits in studio and on location but want to take it to the next level.
any pros or cons for either.
take out the money factor because i don't want that to be a issue right now
it will be later but for now. just the camera.

thanks

I am looking for a wide angle bellows for my TFC45 - IIB Shen Hao.
https://www.badgergraphic.com/store/..._detail&p=3165

I used to have a HZX45, which I used for two years with good results, then switched to TFC, which is the lighter model.
I compared the bellows on these models, and they are different in the dimensions for the back.

On TFC45 the back is a lot bigger than the one on HZX45.

The dimensions of the metal parts on TFC45 are:
- front - 98 x 98 mm
- back - 173 x 173 mm


I did a search on Ebay and on other sites but nothing came up.

Did anybody here encounter the same problem?
If so, does any of you know where to get the proper bellows?


Thanks a lot,

I forgot today to take away my cable release from the shutter when I did put the camera back to its bag.

Do you know if it is possible? I can but it back but it fell of very easy.

I'm stepping down(or stepping up, let's call it meeting in "the middle" :)) to using 5x7 as my primary LF format from now on, from using 4x5 and 8x10. I shoot color film primarily, this has been the core reason, due to budget and the rising cost of film :eek:. I will still continue to shoot b/w 8x10, but right now I'm bent on shooting color, but 5x7 B/W is fine in the interim until another 8x10 camera is acquired down the road.

So, I'm looking at my options here. I've essentially narrowed it down to either a 5x7 Deardorff or a Canham woodie. Both seem to be solid, and since I haven't really read anything negative about either, I'd assume both have very happy users!
I'm asking this because I DO NOT want to continue "trying this, trying that". I want to make pictures. Simple enough. I'd like to find the core differences between the two, and if you can lend a hand with some knowledge, I'd be very grateful!

Here is what I NEED in the camera:
1. Front shift
I do know that the DD doesn't have "direct" shift capability, but has to use swing on the f+r standards to achieve it. Not ideal, but not a deal breaker since I don't use shift THAT much anyhow.
2. Center FRONT tilt.
I cannot seem to work efficiently with base tilts. I need center(axis) tilts. 'Nuff said ;)
3. Ability for a wide variation of lens FL's.
My widest lens at the moment is a 90mm Nikkor-SW, I'd love to be able to get a bit of rise potential out of it.
My longest lens right now is a 450 Fujinon-C, I'm not sure if I'll get another 600mm(24") lens again...

I don't plan to shoot with a roll film back, even though I know the Canham has that capability. Just sheet film.

Is it possible to change the flat "bar" style knobs on the canham to round ones by chance?

Ideas/thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

1. Is there a third party/cheapish viewfinder option for the Toyo 45CF (will modified polaroid MP4 work?)
2. The cambo monocular finder can be attached to super graphic via removal of the super back and attaching a cambo groundglass back, I'm just wondering if the configuration of the Toyo 45CF back would be similar and allow the same option?
