Has anyone ever brought replacement film holders for the epson 4990.. are the film holders the same as for the 4490. Do Epson sell them, i can't see any mention of them on their site.
I know you...
Thanks Ron, I thought as much on the DOF, should get more familiar with a DOF caculator, i take it you guys carry them in the field?
The next issue of what Steve? View Camera i take it? I'm in the UK and have never seen it :(
Thanks for the tips guys. The models were just family, and sadly they were standing which i think is the problem, i think someone in a pose more easily held with precission would be a better subject,...
Hi folks.. I've still not used my camera enough, i have a few days off work so hopefully i'll be able to shoot something!!
I've just got back a roll of 120film that i shot in my horseman 6x12cm...
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.. I'm thinking too that these holes may not be causing too many problems at the moment.. for one i think they're only as visible with bellows fully extended which...
I've discovered that new bellows will cost £100, if they are the same as the ones for the current model.. sadly this model of camera doesn't offer easy bellows replacement as they're glued on, the...
I've been having some problems with the photos i've been taking with my first large format camera, an older Shen Hao.

mainly leaks...
I've had a look inside the bellows with a torch in a dark room.. annoyingly there seems to be a lot of pinhole leaks in the corners of the bellows.. I was wondering if the bellows SHOULD be perfect...
I continue to try and scan with my 4490 scanner.. here's the latest lot

I've abandoned photo merge and try to stitch them myself.....
I have some latex gloves that i do use whenever handling chemicals.. on one hand only usually with minimal contact with the other hand... they're powerdered on the inside, not sterile but seem to do...
light levels were very low for all of this... it was approaching dusk... i need to give the lens a good clean to perhaps remove any possibility of problems..
i'm following ilfords instructions,...
Keith, you're probably right on the classes front but finding the time and money at the moment (to get up to scotland in this case) is a bit of an issue..
I'd certainly appreciate the hands on...
I took some test shots this weekend..

buze, how intermittent is your agitation.. perhaps i should turn on and off the base whilst i'm doing it in a similar frequency..
Thanks to Pete Watkins, I'd had a go at modding the orbital processor as he had with the small beads on the base.. i ended up just using the adhesive they came with.. I guess I can super glue them if...
Definitely.. thanks a lot guys.. i yearned to take some more test shots this weekend but it just didn't pan out that way... it will be happening this week(end) so i'll try to take in all your tips......
Thanks a lot guys.. i've dabbled with doing an aperture compensation as i noticed it was continuously adjusting.. good to know.. this information i think should be on the page that describes large...
Thanks guys.. real big help... just one query.. semi related... the shutter dial on my only lens so far just seems to have full stop marks on it.. its not clear if trying to put the dial between...
Actually quite interestingly, all the light leaks occur on the opposite edge to the one with the ridges in, which puts them at the top of the film holder near where you insert and remove the dark...
I just received a set of Hitech filters, a holder, various adapter rings to suit different lenses, and a Heliopan Käsemann Circular Polariser which will also fit it..
I've got the "Using the View...
Thanks for all the pointers guys.. you're all so far ahead of me that its great to read your discussions on the subject..
I've wrestled through and scanned the film that I was talking about.....
I just received my black jacket today.. reading its instructions it encourages you to keep it on the camera when making an exposure..
I took out the camera and had a practice fitting with it.. I...
Now that I've found out all E6 development is the same regardless of ISO, or film.. I'm ready to send my first 7 mixed sheets of transparency film off to peak imaging for developing.
I've found my...
Interesting Pete.. I'll amend my details with my location.. i'm in Nottingham anyways.
Don't suppose again that you have a picture of your mod?
I'll do a search on the nearest hobbycraft.. what...
ohh great.. that way i can develop another 4 exposures then and send them off together, thanks for that.
Barry.. it'd be great to know the name of the book with this mod described in it..
Also if anyone out there has a modded patterson orbital processor could you please take a picture and upload it...
The seller of the camera i recently brought gave me a variety of films already inside the set of darkslides i brought off him... there are a load that are E6 ... some at ISO 100 (presumably velvia)...
ahh thanks for that.. i thought robert white would only do equipment... cheers
Thanks guys... food for thought.. importing from the US does look good although it does look expensive after delivery and potential VAT import duties..
I'm looking for quickload film and there...
Doug, didn't realise you were responsible for the alternative film holders.. i was very interested in considering this at one point.. and may do in the future.. right now i'll need to be looking for...
Thanks for the info Doug.. any more you can elaborate on that would be appreciated.. do you have a picture of something similar that you've made up before?
Is it important that the neg is...
John, the 4490 only supports medium format natively.. lucky enough its wide enough for my 6x12cm negs, and that is about wide enough for 5x4" ...
The first scan has come out ok..
...
Thanks Brandon I may have a go at that.. i've got one of my first scans online here

Its come out pretty well.. i had a...
Guys, i'm trying to scan my first set of negs and hitting the problems.. the biggest one seems to be that i HAVE to use a film holder for it to even understand what its seeing.. luckily the medium...
well i have the negs in a sleeve... there are some lines of varying tone where clearly something wasn't even during development, or fixing.. also the negs still have a very clear purple tone to...
Thanks Brandon.. thats kind of what i thought i just didn't know of its name, or if it existed.. i'll definitely be looking into the modding of the base..
Anyone else ever have similar troubles...
Ok, I've just tried my first home development of Ilford Delta 100 in fotospeed chemicals. This is the delta 100 that i wasn't sure if i ruined by opening the pack not in the dark..
I took 4...
thanks for the suggestions guys..
I'll look into why 7dayshop may be bad but any suggestions.. I've ordered quite a lot of things from them and never had any bad experiences.. films, holders,...
