I just got this camera and I need to purchase some film holders. Does it take standard ones? Here is a shot of the film back. 107505

I wonder how to meter for paper negatives. I found a large thread about paper negatives here on LF but I fell asleep mid way. Do you meter for those or do you just guess the exposure?

The board is 4x4 with 1-3/4" Dia hole for the lens. The lens itself is mounted on to a flange. There is a slight light trap on the back of the board.

I will measure all out tomorrow as my camera stayed at the office. The lens mounts to a flange that is mounted to the board.

Yup! You see I am not crazy YEY!!!!! I have never encountered one like that though. The lens is from 1901 or thereabout, so I guess they were shooting plates with it. One question remains, Why go to...

here, check it out, the glowing "problem" it only shows up when I point strong flash light right at the lens few inches away or if I point the lens directly at the Sun. this does not show up even in...

It doesnt glow. The shutter leaves are see through (red) when pointed at the sun or very bright light. Otherwise they are opaque. I removed the dumper cylinder from the shutter and cleaned it up, now...

The closer I look at the camera the more stuff I see. I noticed that my Wollensak lens cannot be used with modern films. When the lens shutter is closed and bright light is aimed at the lens the...

does anyone know if calumet 4x5 board will fit this camera? I just found a nice lens from a calumet camera, but I am unsure if the board will fit my camera.

I will just keep the Wollensak lens and see if I can get it repaired. Thank you for the tips. Now off to the 'bay to get some film holders

Yes. I know how to load LF. I use Graflex RB ccamera. This one is a little different animal that's why I have been asking all those questions.

no, this is what I got, and the more I look at it the more I want to get the lens fixed, Its shutter is slow and the lens has some edge separation. 102174

I am now actually re considering fixing the lens. Its slow at all speeds and it has a bit of separation at the edges.

this is what it looks like. 102173

The camera came with Wollensak lens, but I'm eyeing a nice Nikkor 210mm.

now how about a way to mount those? Can I use the board from my current lens or do different lenses call for different boards? and how do I know one will fit my camera and other will not?

Hi
I just bought a RHS Model A 4x5 LF camera and have several questions. I bought it with a damaged lens, so the price I paid reflects that. I need new lens not too expensive 150 dollars maybe?...

Thank you that sounds prominsing. I will look into the plastic holder.

Hi, I am trying to buy an Agfa Ansco 5x7 camera. It comes without a lens or plate holder. My main objective is to use it to try out wet plate process, and this camera looked like a good deal. Few...
