A top-hat lensboard can also be used to give a bit more reach beyond your bellows limit. (Apologies if that was already stated; my quick scan of the thread didn't see it.)

I have Nikkor 300M on a...

Another vote for Chaco.

Be aware that in Monument Valley, you'll be limited to the public road for photography, unless you hire a guide.

If you do stop by Valley of the Gods (dirt road, don't...

Norm, there at least a half-dozen Colorado LF photographers active over at the Rocky Mountain section of NaturePhotographers.net. If you happen to be in the area on January 19, the group is having...

Thanks, guys. Pardon my inadvertent use of the term "element" there. Not sure where that came from, but it scares me reading it... :eek:

I'll unscrew the front half of the lens from the shutter...

Thanks, Richard. I've not taken the front element off a lens before. I'll check that out.

I have a Nikkor W 135 that I bought used a few months ago. It's an older version, with a chrome speed ring on the Copal O shutter. Not the oldest "sawtooth" chrome ring, but the more recent...

With no offense meant to anyone.... I was always told: "There are no stupid questions, but there are plenty of inquizative idiots.";) I'm firmly in that category myself.

There's not much to choose from in the Springs. CameraWorks on North Academy at Union will have a few used lenses and such. I saw a Crown Graphic there once, but that's about it. Last time I was...

Looks like you have some good advice already. If heading from the Springs to Grand Canyon, consider taking the shortest (milage) but longer (time) route through the San Juan mountains in southwest...

Henry, I've not been to Dinosaur, but my friend Darren has a page about it. It may give you some ideas.
Check it out here.

In three weeks, you could walk to the nearest city that has a good 4x5 lab. No matter where you live.

< shameless plug > If you decide on a dark cloth, and like the BTZS version linked above, I have a nearly-new one advertised on APUG and Photo.net. < /shameless plug >

The C2N instructions are the same as the C2. I believe the only difference is something about the gearing mechanisms. Nick, if you can't find it, post again. I believe I have the instructions pdf...

If you shoot nature, then you're probably familiar with John Shaw's excellent books. He also has a "Photoshop Field Guide" that's quite useful. Available only from his website, I believe.

Sure do.

To anyone else, it's just a landscape photograph. To me, it's a memento of a hike, a reminder of a great trip, or the culmination of several attempts to 'capture the image'. Everyone...

I'm here about every other day - more if work is slow, less if it's hectic.

My combination of Tachihara 4x5 and Nikon 300M on a flat board will focus to 16 feet. I suppose it might get closer in cases where tilt is used. For landscape photography, that's good enough for...

The Luminous Landscape has a lot of digital stuff.

Tuan, I'm curious. You spent money on E6 processing but not film. Do you have a big freezer full of film, or what? I see by your website that you're shooting far more than I.

J.P., on my father-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary, he told me:

"I never knew what true happiness was until I got married.

But then it was too late."

My wife does try to keep some of my...

Did my wife put you up to this? I'd prefer she didn't read this list.

New:

Nikkor 200 f/8 M (couldn't find a used one)

Gnass Gear lens case and film holder cases

Kelty Redwing backpack

Sorry to hear about this. It wasn't always this way with Gnass. I ordered from them about a year ago and received my order very promptly. Hopefully, it's just a temporary glitch.

I haven't sold or purchased anything from Rick, but I've interacted with him over on the Colorado Nature Photographers group for several months. He's a solid citizen; I wouldn't hesitate to enter a...

Analog Photography Users Group

You might also ask over on the APUG group. Or maybe you have - I haven't been there for a day or two.

Sorry, Scott, I can't help with a local printer. I did vote for that image over on the other forum, though. Very, very, nice work!

If size and weight are considerations, then the Nikon M 200 can't be beat. I'm no expert, but I'm very pleased with the image quality that mine produces. Nikon lists it as having a 210mm image...

A few recent ones here.

I searched the B&H site for 'jalapeno cleaning solution', but couldn't find it. Is this a proprietary product that must be ordered directly from Pizza Hut? I'm going to add the Pizza Hut website to...

Did anyone see the film "What the Bleep?" (an independent, I believe). In one of the early scenes, the main character is using an 8x10 to shoot the interior of a train station. I'm not educated...

Quoted from above:

""Remeber that to get a one stop increase in exposure, you have to increase the exposure time by 1.4."

You mean by 2, right? One stop is... twice as much light? Or am I...

I have different problem with the B&H "air pillows". I'm sure the boxes are fine when they're packed in NY at sea level. But when they're delivered to my house at 6,500 feet elevation (Colorado...

I have a 60" Logan 760. I'm sure it's not as good as the C&H, but it works fine for me. And it's $1,000 cheaper.

Disclaimer: This is the only mat cutter I've used, so I don't have anything to...

Darin, that's certainly true for me. I made the 4x5 jump a little less than a year ago, but would have never done so without the information available on this site and a few others. Although I've...

Every time I sell a lens, I'm convinced that the bottom has dropped out of the LF market and there's no demand left. Then I try to buy a different lens and I quickly become convinced that there's...

Gee, Scott, I could point you to two other forums where a similar topic is being discussed, but I would only embarass myself further. Hope you have a safe and productive trip.

RRS lists a plate for 4x5, but they don't mention the Tachi in their descipition. They mention the wooden Wista cameras and a couple others, as I recall. At any rate, the RRS plate works great on...

Oops. No need for the 'www' on the address above. It's just http://colorado.naturephotographers.net

Rick -

If you shoot landscapes and nature at all, check out the forum at www.colorado.naturephotographers.net. There are at least 6 or 8 of us there who shoot 4x5, and some portion of the group...

I flew with my 4x5 gear for the first time just a couple of weeks ago, from Denver to Calgary and back.

In years of traveling with 35mm and MF, I've never noticed an effect on my film from the...
