Erik,

I use a lightweight case designed for a laptop computer. It holds 4 or 5 holders, is just the right size, and was inexpensive.

Ted,

Instead of racks/hangers, some labs simply use a clip on one corner of the film, so size wouldn't be a problem. However, those labs are probably getting quite rare.

Mark,

I have the 45MCRX with a EL-Nikkor 135mm lens. That setup will do an 18x25 print on the baseboard.

With a 150mm lens, your measurement of 15x19 on the baseboard sounds about right.

As...

I no longer have my Wollensak E.W.A., but I recall it was a fairly simple operation.

However, at the new widest aperture, the image will be too soft for critical focussing. You CAN get a moderate...

Joseph,

Have you seen this article by Richard Sexton on the Ebony website?

Tony,

The Symmar-S will (just) cover at infinity. I have an APO-Nikkor 9/480: a fine lens, but a pain to use IMHO. I've done some church interiors with it, but generally use a Fuji 450C instead...

I've used a C-2N with my Toyo 45A, no problems.

I've used a Toyo 45A for years - never needed the infinity stops. Much quicker and easier to simply aim yer eyes at the ground glass!

I use the older f8 Super Angulons (65, 75 & 90mm). The f8 isn't so bad shooting outdoors in decent light, but dimly lit indoor shots can be tricky. I'm quite happy with them for backpacking.

Yeah, my bellows tend to sag too. Much easier to see through the front of the lens.

Like Tim said: view through the front of the lens. With no film holder in place or focusing cloth covering the GG, it's usually pretty easy to tell if you can see all 4 corners of the GG or not. If...

I was in Moab recently, and Action Shots is just about the only place in town. I don't know how much LF they had - just some 4x5 duplicating film, I believe.

Dave,

I haven't used your formula, but it looks pretty good. I have a recent Kodak B&W Dataguide (not with me, unfortunately), and the enlargement wheel indicates something like what you've...

The above formulas will indeed get you in the ballpark, but don't forget to include bellows factor. If you start with a 2x enlargement, then raise the enlarger for a 4x enlargement, your effective f...

Thank you to all who have responded to this post.

I've done some additional tests, and the lens performs quite well at f22. My first attempts were made at f45 (and smaller!), and I believe that...

40 years old, here in Indianapolis. And I feel younger at 40 than I did at 25!

I've been shooting and printing 35mm since I was 20. I had a girlfriend in college who was good in the darkroom,...

I've purchased this lens on Ebay, and although it appears to be in mint conditio n, my negs come out softer and with less contrast than I expected (center as wel l as edges). I have a variety of...

John,

I was in the same situation. I purchased two #00 to #0 adaptors from S.K. Grimes (www.skgrimes.com), and they're perfect! I seem to recall they were about $30 each. Now, if I ever change...

Marco,

Regarding monorail vs. field camera, I would agree with Huib. If you enjoy hiking and don't want your equipment to limit your "movements", a compact, lightweight field camera is the way...
