I'm new to LF, brand spankin' new. However, both of my Nikon and Mamiya RZ67 are loaded. The former with NPH and the latter with Provia 100F. The Nikon is mostly for snap shots of family and...
I shot my first Polaroid two days ago and two yesterday (one didn't turn out because I was stupid enough to insert the pack with the side facing the lens facing the back of the 545i holder!). They...
I am a student, so I don't actually have an income. I have student loans that include a living expenses budget which include money for dining out, fun activities, clothes, etc. I spend less on...
Although the bag is vinyl, it has two side vents that allow air to circulate in and out of the bag. However, that might have been inadequate. I bought the camera new from Jim. I am not worried...
I spent the last half hour chipping away at the 545i holder with a small kitchen knife, whose small pointy sharp tip I used to carve away some of the hard plastic that forms the notch on the side of...
Donald, thanks for the input! I am not going to file down the ridge on the 545i because of the exact reason you stated, but I might reduce its width a little. Before I do that, I am going to...
Thank you everyone for your input!
While I’ve no desire to start a fight, I disagree that storing the camera in a cool, dry place protected in a bag for a year is neglect. I can’t help but think...
I bought my Shen Hao 4x5 at the 2nd Annual Large Format Photography Conference in Monterey, CA last year. It's my first large format camera (I've been using Nikon and Mamiya RZ67 before that...
I am considering filing down the ridge on the Polaroid 545i film holder. I doubt that it is the issue with the camera that is out of spec as my Lisco holders, all eight of them anyway, fit just...
I just got a used Polaroid 545i film holder for my Shen Hao 4x5. The film holder easily slips onto the back like a regular two-sided film holder, but there is a slight problem. I disassembled the...
I am using a Bogen 3221 with either a Markin M10 ballhead or the Bogen 3047 3-way pan head to support my Shen Hao 4x5. The 3221 with the M10 is the lighter setup of the two, but it is still quite...
Refering to the post above, why does the fresnel screen have to be 1/16th of an inch thick? What will happen if the thickness isn't as exact? I have a Shen Hao 4x5 also and have been considering a...
This is great stuff! Thank you!
Thank you for the quick answers!
I bought a Calumet 7X loupe to help with focusing on the GG. The rear element can be turned one complete circle to lengthen the overall length of the loupe. What is the function of this feature?

Do you use a rangefinder (Bushnell Yardage Pro, etc.) with your view/field camera? I'm asking because I always find it annoying to have to guess or approximate the hyperfocal distance when the...
Everyone seems to rave about the 110 SS XL. I have only one lens now, but will get another (probably a wide angle) for my Shenhao 4x5 in the future. What characteristics make the 110 SS XL f/5.6...
My parents call me Nghi and so does everyone else. I'm a second-year medical student at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. Before moving to San Francisco for medical...
This article and the comments are valuable to me and humourous as well. I'm new to LF. To avoid the equipment acquisition syndrome, I am limiting myself to a Shenhao 4x5 and one lens for the next...
Okie! The Rodenstock APO-Sironar-S 135mm/5.6 is by far the most attractive lens for me right now. It could be considered the wider end of the normal range or the more telephoto end of the wide...
Good morning,
This forum is incredible! Full of awesome people! Many thanks for all your inputs thus far.
Let me elaborate on a bit more on my subject matters. I plan to use the Shenhao for...
Hello,
After some research, I have decided on the Shen-Hao HZX4x5-II A. The Shenhao fits my budget of roughly $1000, give or take a few hundred dollars more, for a kit (already have tripod and...
