A lot of people are mixing up the Kodak Commercial View with the Master View KMV. The Commercial View is effectively a metal 2D made with magnesium alloy. They can be found at a much lower cost...

Time to revive this thread.

I don't shot much LF these days, having gone the route of MF/Scan/ink jet. However a few weeks ago the car club I'm a member of set up a visit to a major restorer of...

Ah another Gummikuh. :D
My last ride was a 1987 R100RS
Now I’m seriously coveting a R60/2. Missed one at ~$11K and now there's antoher one listed at ~$17K:eek:

Hi Andrew,
How about another trade for one of your carbon prints:)

Dare one suggest a digital approach at least for proofing to a larger size?
For example a EPSON 700/750 scanner and 3880 printer would let you print to the size you mentioned. This would let you...

I've only had my 9000 for a couple of months as I bought one of the last ones in Canada.
My impression of Nikon Scan 4 is that in the area of selecting the scan area it is far to restrictive. ...

Just got mine from the Camera Store in Calgary. Bit higher than your price but lower than Vistek. No one on Vancouver/Victoria had one.
Merry Christmas to me:D

I used one of the ebay Hong Kong bellows for my 45A. Price was right and installation not too difficult but...The material is not too thin in fact it is too thick.

I can not compress the...

Yes and apparently paradise can be bought:

I agree that for dramatic views "Outside" is better than "Inside". However for cruising "Outside" sucks (rough seas, high winds, no anchorages) compared to "Inside". In fact the Inside Passge...

Scott,
This is a little embarrassing as I have lived here for 50+ years and been boating for 20+ years in this area and I’m having trouble coming up with suggestions :) .

I mainly photograph...

I'm a rookie here so take this a large grain of salt.
Assumption: The fall off is a function of the physics of the lens design and not unique to a specifc manufacturer. This means you can mix...

If Nikon batch builds the LS-9000 (a likely scenario given volumes) they might also run into the issue of RoHs compliance (no lead solder). If the LS-9000 was designed before 2006 and they didn't...

Andrew this is our little trade looking a little one sided...sorry about that...but you're not getting the print back:D

A belated update on the Dell U-2410...
I finally had time to install after receiving it about 2 weeks ago. Has pre-configured and tested setup for sRGB and AdobeRGB. I checked the AdobeRGB and got...

As a quick check I opened an .xmp file from an image I processed in PS CS2 from a digital camera in Notepad. It is all text base, "human readable" (ie not machine data) similar to xml.
This means...

Do NOT get the Dell G2410 (or any LCD made with a TN panel). I did that as the TN panel types are relatively cheap. Even after calibration it is "weird" and gets "weirder" the more off angle you...

Here is another one from the German Car Club Show. A little more attainable than the GTO :)

My cheapo wireless units will miss fire about 20-30% of the time. No big deal when shooting digital but it would get expensive fast with LF

I've got mine on a Fotoman 617 right now, generally shooting transparencies so I tend use a center filter. Next thing to try is an IR film so I've picked up a couple of rolls of SFX to start with.
...

Yeah, but wait to you price the center filter :eek:

If this is the case in the USA (I checked the Canadian WEB Site) then you would need to either replace the power supply for one rated at 220V 50Hz or a transformer 220-110V as noted. Sounds like...

I checked the EPSON website and the V700 uses an external AC > DC power adapter.
This indicates it is a “Universal” switching power supply which is most common these days. These “Universal” power...

In a (failed) attempt to control my GAS I've spent less on LF than the other formats. I bought a Arca Swiss A/B/C for ~$200, light weight with full movements and a Schneider 150 mm for ~$200, 10...

There's someone over at APUG, PE (aka Ron), who worked at Kodak for years and before that was in the US Air Force. He might be able to give you reliable directions regarding restoration etc.
