Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, and Woodford Reserve would be on my list if I were going to Lexington.
Maybe contact a member here named "Bush". If you check his posts you'll see he had an old 5x7 Linhof that he says takes one sided holders. He even had a photo of them.
I LOVE TMY and wish that I could afford to buy several boxes. I hope it happens and maybe one day I can buy a ton of it. There is no better film made today for contact printing.

Window in my home. Palladium Ziatype on cot320. 8x10 Efke 100. Printed about 6 years ago.

I found some Azo postcard stock from 1921 and was able to print on it, which amazed me. This was 5 years ago.
The Korona deal has better bellows and a newer shutter. That's the way I'd go.
Yes, the 5x7 back takes standard film holders.
You might be able to find a G-Claron in 210 or 240 for that price. It's a sharp lens and will have lots of coverage for 5x7. I don't know how well it would suit portraiture though.
Hi Luke. Welcome to the LF Forum.
I think maybe we've met before. Did you come to Cambridge to buy a Canonet from me a few years ago?

Thank you Marko & h2oman.
I am familiar with Plowden's work and do enjoy it.
After going back & forth between 4x5, 5x7, & 8x10, I've decided that 5x7 suites me best. I contact print & just love the size. Big gems.
Either that, or develop at 98.6 :)
A bigger tray, rotating the negatives, and developing more at once will definitely help. Your instincts are right on. If you must use 8x10 trays, you can rotate the whole stack 180 degrees now and...
This is how I've done it too. I've successfully cleaned two Ilex shutters this way, with Naptha, and they're running beautifully now.
I use a standard Gralab timer. I don't understand why you'd want to do the counting yourself.
Good for you! Lenswork is my favorite.
I agree completely. Paypal sucks, especially for the seller.
You can develop 4x5 in a 5x7 tray without issues, though some prefer a larger tray. For developing by inspection, try a red safelight (very dim) for TMY. Green just doesn't work with this film for...
There is a much easier way. Use trays instead of that drum.
This is the system I have and it works great for very little money. Once you take a few minutes to let the hot & cold temps stabilize, it stays surprisingly constant.
Are you serious? You developed film for only 9 seconds? Never heard of such a thing.
I've owned and used one on 8x10. It will certainly cover, but not by much. The corners looked fine to me without movements, but seemed to get soft pretty quick with some rise.
Beautiful shot of a beautiful camera. My first 8x10 was a Korona with a C-1 Ground Camera tag on it, just like yours. Wish I still had it.
A spotmeter is most definitely not required. That's ridiculous. If you know what you're doing, you can use any meter. There are plenty of people that do not use a spotmeter and get consistently...
I had a fuji GW690III that needed a rangefinder adjustment. I read online that Frank Marshman was the guy for that. I called him about it. He told me that it would be more expensive to ship it...
I don't understand. How does the screw head make a difference?
In this article Sandy King says: "If you choose the two-tube holders the tubes will be separated by about 3/4” whereas the use of the individual Bipin holders and external ballast allows one to space...
I use the ATN Viper model too. It does have an IR light built in. I see no visible evidence of fogging either, though I have not tested this with a densitometer.
You could pull the back off, insert the holder, and put it back on. I do that sometimes when I have a holder that won't slide in smoothly.
To simplify, it's the long focal lengths.
Mine's been posted now. Thanks to Paul for the scan.
It's amazing to me how many of us used a 210mm for our shots. It seems a very popular focal length, no matter the format.

I had a Wista 6x9 back that slid under the ground glass. It worked beautifully that way. I have some...
I received the Group 2 package today as well. What a treat! I was able to spend some quiet time with all of the prints today. I love that. Good job group 2.
Thank you Darr for your masterful...
Absolutely. What you see on the GG is what you get on film.
Mine are on the way. I shipped them today, USPS Priority from Iowa.
Same here.
I'd like to join.
