I spoke to fuji UK a couple of months ago. The (quite savvy) saleswoman told me that 8x10 was 'discontinued' in the UK. When I told her it didn't seem to be the case outside of the UK she didn't seem...
I've used 'contact cement' to successfully attach bellows to a (metal) bellows frame. not sure wood would need any different...
I just figured if I could find a used Ebony then what the hell, I'll get that and can sell it later.

I have not seen a used Ebony 617 in the last 5 years.
Have you contacted Richard Ritter for a quote?

My thoughts exactly...the background and light doesn't look right for the UK...
Thanks Andrew,
much appreciated.
Max Height and Model please (of the tripod ;) not the 2 yr old)
Not a picture i'm afraid, but kinda fits with this thread;

I had a four designs 110b. I had to let it go, but they are great conversions. I didn't ever notice any framing issues, but then i'm not sure I really expect absolute accuracy from a RF. John is...
If interested, Allan Sekula's 'Meditations on a Triptych' touches on many aspects of the snapshot, along with his excellent 'Reading an Archive'.
Available - yes. In production - No. Ebay have it listed at quite hefty prices occasionally. I'm sure there will be some that will chime in here that use it. The impossible project have plans to...
I believe there is one on the auction site.
Thanks,
as soon as I arrived at the site, I remembered I had already stumbled upon it a while ago...and then subsequently ruled it out, as i'm based in the UK :(

Maybe i'm just missing something, but when I google them I get only Acura csx results. When I google csx xray film all I get is threads here and on APUG. Any help?
I seem to remember Fuji were working on an agar solution for film many years ago, but i'm not sure anything came of it....?
I think I have an example of this from a colour ad in VC mag somewhere. I will try and find it and scan just for illustration.

look really interesting...haven't quite saved enough/ got enough need to justify at the moment but they look ideal
I'd start by removing the back from the camera, so that you can get full leverage on it without damaging the bellows etc. should you slip.
Sorry just noticed you're new to LF and this camera. If...

I met an Ilford employee last week. He had some samples of this paper that had been shot (by some students) on a Sinar 8x10. The result was impressive (really good tonal range), and looked fantastic...
I used some bookbinding tape (thin, cloth, bloody strong) to re-hinge some film holders. I would assume it is light tight enough for bellows repairs. Can be cut into smaller strips, and isn't as...
I've considered many options, and am still saving/ deciding, but came across these while on my search. It is currently my favorite in terms of choice and features. Not the cheapest option however......
There are many boards out there (as i've discovered) that are sinar sized apart from thickness. Some you can still squeeze in, others are impossible. On some the (powder coat?) is too thick, making...
Weird! mine were glued - glad you sorted it though
Pretty easy, although saving the existing bellows isn't quite as easy.
Work from the front first. Remove the lens. Then the retaining screws on the inside of the lens plate (working with front...
Speak to HM Customs in the UK. They told me a while ago exactly what to do (Sorry forgotten exactly what they advise) and how to mark any paperwork - this was, however for sending a camera for repair...
For the record, the knobs on Ebony cameras are actually Aluminium - unlike the rest of the metal.
Try Williamson Carson & Co. Ltd. (& Williamson Carson Financial Services Ltd.). They always seem helpfull on the phone. They are also affiliated with the AOP, and I think you can set the value of...
Dean can occasionally be slow at responding...but I think that comes with the territory for a one man operation (he must get loads of emails), and he is always really helpful. I had 2 Razzles...one...
Very helpful, thank you. Although I was primarily looking at Vacuum conversions, `I may well try a tape solution in the meantime.
Thanks Peter,
I have seen Vacuum holders in 8x10 that have more holes drilled than this holder I referenced, and have a rough pattern, but am more interested in if anyone makes/converts them on a...
Hi all,
I tried a few searches on here and the net. Found a page where a guy had converted a 4x5 holder:
