Thanks Mike, that's what I hoped as the camera doesn't have any forward tilt. I will only use movements sparingly and only as necessary.

Thanks Mike, that's what I hoped as the camera doesn't have any forward tilt. I will only use movements sparingly and only as necessary.
I have recently acquired a Korona 5x7 camera with a 210mm lens.
The camera only has front rise on the front and some forward/backward tilt and swing on the rear.
Can the rear tilt movements be...
Thanks for the information on the lens.
The PDF file is interesting to read.
The camera that I have came with the lens in the title of this thread.
Can anyone tell me some information about it? I have searched on Google, but not found much about it.

Thanks for all your replies.
I have just bought my first 5x7 camera, a Gundlach Korona with Fidelity Elite sheet film holders and two lenses.
One is a Dallmeyer Perfac f6.3 12 inch lens and the...
Does anyone know how the Sironar-N lens (non-APO) version compares with the Symmar-S of the same focal length? Coverage, filter sizes etc.
The Jobo B&W Manual (Art No. 4191) is very difficult to find. Good luck with your search and let us know if you find a copy.
Thanks for this. The Komura 6.3 may also be considered. Which ever lens I buy, it must be small enough to fold away without detaching from the camera.
Thanks Ian and Ritchie. My 150mm Xenar is a good lens and folds away neatly on my MPP mark 8 without having to remove it from the camera. It doesn't allow for much movement though with rise, fall and...
Does anyone here use one of these lenses? I am thinking of buying one to replace my 150mm Xenar f/4.5.
Where Readyload is mentioned, do you mean that it can be used with a Kodak Readyload film holder? If so, I would be interested.
The type of film are you using would make it easier to recommend a photo-lab.
Are you using colour reversal, colour negative or B&W negative film?
Either ID-11 or D-76 diluted 1+1 will provide excellent results.
I recommend this book to anyone starting out B&W printing in the darkroom.

Someone gets extra film sheets in a box and another gets a 2nd box of film for free. Some people get all the luck. :D ;)
It does say 1500ml on the tank, but when I first used it I filled the tank with enough water to cover the 2509 reel and I found that 1200ml was enough.
I would buy a Jobo tank with a 2509n reel for 4x5 film sheets and inversion agitation.
This will more like what you were used to when you used Paterson tanks for 35mm films....
I expect the new Ilford papers to be a different coating altogether.
I hope that Ilford introduce a new film soon, even if it is an improvement to an existing established film such as FP4 Plus.

Delta 100 already has very good reciprocity, but perhaps not quite as good as Acros.

I suggest downloading the technical publication from Kodak's website and start with what they recommend.
Is it on your negatives after processing?
The Kodak Readyload film sheets were done by Polaroid under license, but they ceased trading, so not Kodak's fault to be fair.
Fuji do (or did?) an equivalent called Quickloads.
What does this formula do what PMK or Pyrocat doesn't do?

Does that also apply to the CPA2? The main cog on mine has a slotted screw holding it.
I don't know much about the Cibachrome motor-bases, but I have found that using a rotation speed that is too slow on my CPA2 will cause uneven processing as does not using enough processing volumes...
Start with a resin-coated paper such as Ilford Ilfospeed grade 2 or a resin-coated variable-contrast paper such as Ilford Multigrade IV.
I doubt if there are any stocks of Record-Rapid worth using for important images, due to aging even if it was stored carefully. It is probably better to look for a current graded paper if that is...
Another option is to buy a suitable weighing scale and mix your own D-76 (ID-11). That will allow you to make as much or as little developer as you require.
The formula for D-76 film developer is...
Thanks for the link. I wasn't aware it was made in China until I read through the thread in the link you posted.
I have not heard of this brand before.

There is also an 8x10 version. Does anyone here use the 5x7 version?
What functions of a view-camera do you consider important when choosing a Camera for photographing buildings and what lenses would you choose?
I want to discuss 4x5 mainly.
Did you mean to ask about 150mm lenses? 50mm lenses are for 35mm negatives.
For the finest grain, a true fine-grain developer and a high resolution film like T-Max 100, Delta 100 or 100 Acros would be a wise choice.

I liked the photographs made by Fay Godwin, but AFAIK, she worked with medium-format rather than large-format.

Who sells this film-format in the UK and Europe?
What films are available in the 18cm x 24 cm format?
The developing times for TMY2 are here.
