Waterhouse stops in the cap? Or did you mean "make yourself a lens cap AND interchangeable Waterhouse stops"?

I am not one to pass up free stuff! :D

Everything about this camera says it was hidden away until recently. There are almost no signs of wear and tear. It's almost too pretty to shoot with!...

I found another post using "Carol in Whittier" and found flutotscamerarepair.com. I've reached out to Carol for help, we'll see where that goes! Thanks a TON for the name Lezek Vogt!

I assume that holders of the same dimensions, but are Tachihara won't be the right fit for this camera? Those Tachihara holders look pretty badass though!

"Carol in Whittier"? Not much to go on... can I get a bit more detail please?

The front element says "Wollensak 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 Rapid Symmetrical" and the shutter says "AUTEX". The plate above the aperture slider reads from f/4 to f/256, but I just noticed that it has numbers...

Not sure how I'd tell the difference between US 4 and f/4. There isn't much information on the lens. The issue this camera has (the only issue) is the shutter does not close once opened (any...

I have acquired a new (to me) Improved Seneca View 6.5x8.5 camera in fantastic condition, with the only exception being the lens shutter.

This camera has the original Wollensak 6.5x8.5 f/4 lens...

Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you for the detailed info, I'll definitely look into the Commerical Ektar. By the way, that is a wonderful portrait!

I am shooting indoors with strobes. I am more concerned with getting a fast lens at a reasonable price than I am with any specific brand, or even a super sharp lens. I am considering getting a...

I plan to make full 8x10 portraits using glass plates. My goal is to be able to shoot anything from a 3/4 portrait to a head & shoulders shot.

Hi all,

I just acquired an ANSCO American Optic 8x10 Studio camera and I need help in identifying what lens choice would be good for doing wet plate portraits. I would imagine something in the...

Dont you mean they should improve the "Dust and Scratches" filter in Photoshop?

I like the gift idea too.

Check out a site called "Massive Dev Chart", it has all the info you need! I use the mobile app all the time!

It's not your fault, I misunderstood.

I got it in my head somewhere that all 20 prints were to be mounted - so I did that... Now I'm concerned they won't fit in the specified box. What should I do?

I have the keys printed and stored in my safe deposit box, just in case I lose the USB drive. Can't be too safe!

I do something similar to this but I create and store my keys on my IronKey thumb drive. Its encrypted and requires a password to unlock. Enter the password too many times incorrectly and it fries...

Oof - the Chamonix holders are expensive!!! They're beautiful, but expensive! I got two Graflex 1234 holders and will modify them to hold plates. Thanks @ghostcount for the video!

I'm looking to get into wet/dry plates on my 4x5, does anyone have recommendations for pre-made holders? I've found a few sites that show how to convert one, but I'd rather not experiment with the...

I need an octopus!

Great images! What's the exposure time with that film? How much artificial light did you use?

I'd like to participate, but I don't have the required posts yet...

I am by no means suggesting that RAID is an alternative for backup. But RAID is a valuable part of my backup solution. My setup is this:

Copy from SD card to directly attached SSD (manual)

RAID has saved my bacon on three separate occasions. Having an enclosure with 4 drives in RAID 5 configuration makes sure I never lose data from a single drive failure. I don't have to swap drives...

Nice, I'm working on speeding up my setup. I'm currently at around 15 minutes.

Wonderful! How long did each shot take to setup and capture?

YouTube and various posts on the internet.

Thank you for sharing this article. I found the section detailing your setup for the flatbed scanner particularly interesting. I'm in the process of familiarizing myself with my scanner and...

Wow, that's awesome!

I rushed a little with this one and it's a bit underexposed as a result, but I'm still happy with it.

Thanks to the wonderful contributors to this forum I've begun shooting portraits with my 4x5 and studio strobes.

Update:
I developed a batch of Delta 100 with the suggestions and recommendations from a number of posters here and I am pleased to say that it was a HUGE success! I changed a number of things, but...
