I have been purchasing Carestream x-ray film from Z&Z Medical for the past 10 years but they no longer carry it. Can anyone recommend an alternative source for Carestream X-ray films in 8x10?

Well done! This is a great idea and is especially good for use with very large lenses for which Packard Shutters are either not available or are too expensive.

I made the bellows myself.

Here’s another image of the camera. 180441

Yes, the viewer has a binocular magnifier in the black eyepiece and I find that I am much more accurate when I focus using both eyes.

Here's my customized Burke & James 5x7 Field Camera with new bellows and an accordion-pleated ground glass viewer.180385

Thanks for the excellent suggestions. This helps a great deal.

I've just purchased an 8x10 Burke & James View Camera and the leather strap is missing. The stap lugs are in place although I don't see an easy way to change them out without messing up the red...

I shoot 5x7 with a Graflex Home Portrait and 4x5 with several Auto Graflex fixed back models and also a Super D. I love these cameras. My primary studio camera is a hybrid Graflex D/Toyo 4x5 monorail...

I use a Horseman inline viewer on my 4x5 Graflex Super D and 4x5 Auto Graflex but I had to custom make an adapter mount for each camera. I use the viewer constantly and I love it. 140776

John, I have this Horseman Bino Reflex Viewer and mine came with an adapter for use on a Horseman or Toyo camera. Without the adapter it will fit on a Sinar back. I don't know how hard it will be to...

The Schneider Xenar 3.5/210mm lens is a good fit on a 4x5 Graflex RB D. It is faster than the standard lens so is easier to focus and isn't a rare lens.

The mirror functions very effectively as a light trap in a Graflex SLR so it would work outside. The flash is triggered by the mirror reaching the top of its swing and simultaneously the curtain...

Thanks for the compliments on this portrait I posted. It was shot using window light in my studio at about 1/30" which is my standard exposure in the studio.

Here is a sample shot with the 2.5/305 Aero Ektar on my modified Graflex/monorail camera.

Thanks Dan. I've generally ended up with Graflex cameras in really bad shape so I've not felt bad about working on them to make them more useful.

Thanks Tim. This is a non-RB Series B 5x7 with a 12 sheet cut film magazine onto which I have mounted a Buhl 2.5/240mm projection triplet lens. I made a shorter custom hood for this camera...

This is a modified early Auto Graflex non-rb 4x5 which has a 7" Aero Ektar lens and is my primary travel 4x5. I stripped the cracked and dried rubber coating off the original curtain and...

Here is a shot of my primary 4x5 studio camera which has in the rear a modified Graflex RB Series B camera and a modified Toyo G front standard. I put this camera together to accommodate a...

I shoot 4x5 and 5x7 with Graflex SLR cameras and for portraiture they are great. I've acquired old beater cameras and have restored the shutters and modified the viewfinders by removing the hoods....

I used to process b&w film commercially on a jobo and we would occasionally see foaming patterns on over-exposed film with even tone areas (skies or seamless gray backgrounds). We eliminated the...

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the announcement of a CL57 5x7 film reel for the Jobo.

I recently acquired a beautiful and functional 3x4 Ensign Speical Reflex camera and while the shutter is fully functional and the curtains are in great condition the shutter is running too fast. Does...

The Kodak Ektascan is coated on one side only so I don't have any issues with processing the film in the Jobo.

This is my favorite image from the first shoot I've done in 8x10. The film is Kodak Ektascan B/RA rated at 100 and processed on a Jobo in Rodinal 1:200 8' -the camera is a Toyo 810G and the...

The image was shot with a 7" aero ektar on 8x10 and was posted on an aero ektar group page on Facebook last week.

The camera in the photos you posted is a 3x4 Series D.

If you are just wanting a lens of comparable focal length to the AE and similar speed then you might look at a Buhl projector lens. They are air-spaced triplet lenses ususally f2.5 and can be had for...

Hi Joselsgil,
Here is a shot of my auto-graflex which is not as old as yours. I've modified it pretty extensively to suit my needs. Are you shooting with yours? I love the shutter release button.

Thanks Jim,
I think I should be looking for a no 4 since my lenses get a bit heavy on the autograflex.

I have a 4x5 Auto Graflex and want to get a wooden Graflex tripod for it but I don't know anything about the different models. Can anyone tell me which tripod no. Would be best for this camera?

I have these focusing screens in my 4x5 and 3x4 Graflex cameras and they are fine.
