Hi everyone.... does anyone know how to remove a commercial ektar 14' lens from a deardorff board. I bought it like that and used it on a deardorff. Sold it to someone in Ottaws and he can't seem...
My experience was that with the canham, the 9V battery doesn't last long and the motor seemed to drag even with a fresh battery as if the motor did not have enough juice to keep tension as well as...
The canham back is twice the dollars and a serious pain in the ass. Don't know the dayi...... but have a shen hao 617 camera and the back looks great. I think it is your best bet .
86237HO, HO AND HO.... almost forgot to wish happy holidays to all the gang on large format forum.... thank you all for inspiration and humour..... cheers from the cold white north .... Richard.
I bought a new back for my 50 year old Deardorff and the folks in tennessee were great.... there was a slight delay because I wanted splitters and they had to modify
the back.... beautiful work and...
Gesundheit!!!!!
Hey everyone.....I am so tired of everybody praising this guy..... whatever happened to acknowledging crappy service????? what about those folks who ignore inquiries, are rude and condescending????...
The Lab Works...Winnipeg and ABC Photo in Vancouver...
ABC still has an 8x10 enlarger and wet prints and so does lab works i think....
Best prices for processing are still toronto image works.
No...
A question for Robert and his 6x17 holder.... are you referring to the anti newton glass for the medium format holders or that variable height holder where you have to cut out
the masks? I have used...
I used a fujinon 90 f8 lens on an art panoramic 617 metal camera... the edges were mush and the same with an f8 super angulon.... changed to a nikon 90mm f8 and edges
were sharp. The art pan is...
I have the ebony 45s and use Bruce's case... it doesn't have thick padding but has been safe dragging it through France and up here in the mountains. I use a gg protector like
the Canham, leave the...
If you don't necessarily want a folder but rather a very sturdy monorail.... might I make a suggestion. I posted my Fatif 8x10 camera here... and was asking $700. Since there are members here that...
I gather that the Shen has improved its product quality and it does get good reviews. I have a toyo 45A and as Frank says,it is a great metal (yet fairly light) field camera which I have always found...
Fascinating that so many people have so many favourites. At one point, I had three 90mm f8 lenses and I was trying to see which one was the best (re: image circle) on an art pan 6x17 camera. The...
I have an ebony 45S for sale on the forum if you decide to get a shen hao back. I have seen the shen hao cameras and really prefer the ebony's quality which you do pay for.
I also have a Canham 5x7...
leave.......
Oh Lachlan..... if only I had known that you had commissioned and, it would seem, designed the shen hao..... well I would never have considered suggesting that the ebony was a great camera... what an...
I would recommend you get the extra $$$ together for an ebony 45S... took mine to france this spring and loved using it as usual. Just bought a deardorff 8x10 and a canham 5x7(for its panoramic back)...
hey pete.... let us, the locals, know when you are coming to visit and maybe we can break bread or share a brown pop! Or take you to a couple of great places for autumn
splendor in the rockies.......
Beat me to it.... Tony Hauser is not only an excellent portraitist but a gentleman and a humanitarian deeply involved in our world. If you are ever in Toronto, Ontario be sure to stop into his...
Better yet, buy a Canham 5x7 with his motorized 6x17 back and then you can shoot those big 5x7 images AND have all those lenses to use on 617 as well. I did it and love the combo but use the 4x5...
About 25 years ago, I had a chance to buy a lovely toyo 45A camera and funded it by selling my practically new nikon F3.... I was so excited to call my friends in Canmore Alberta to tell them I had...
Back to the original poster.... so glad to hear you bought the nikon f8 90mm.... i have a couple of 617 cameras and the fuji 90 had the optical characteristics of toilet paper out at the edges and...
Hi Ron Miller.... here is an offer... there are a few mad-about-film large format shooters up here in the Canmore/Banff area right smack dab in the Canadian Rockies an hour west of Calgary, Alberta. ...
hi craig and welcome to the madness..... i live in canmore and there is quite an interesting group out here that loves film and shoots mainly large format... just had a great show here in town in...
I am exhausted.... sitting in the south of france near aix en provence with a ton of gear or at least 50+lbs..... and loving it. Using my D700 digital most of the time but last night there was this...
Have to say that I have bought from this seller and he is great. We should all take lessons from this gentleman. And not be so silly. Happy Valentines Day you little sweeties!!!

Hey everybody... if anyone is in the vicinity of southern Alberta Canada, please check out this amazing month long celebration of photography. I organized...
Hi Rob.... wish you could have this out here by Banff.... on Jan 28th we are having an opening in Canmore (at the local public art gallery) for a show dedicated to the use of film. This is part of...
I can't believe that i just blew away half an hour of my life reading these dumb posts...
and now i have to waste more time trying to figure out which negs were done with an
artpan617, which with...
Who the hell is this frank guy????
I look forward to getting a copy up here in western Canada and have to thank Frank
and the folks like him that encourage me to enjoy large format photography......
Hi Ornate.... and enjoy the large format world.
That price is way too much... the woodman i sold for $500 was in nice shape but i found it too wobbly... didn't lock down that well but an okay...
I have a Toyo 45A that i got 20+ years ago and at that time, i was fortunate to find the toyo sliding back for roll films... two models were made, one taking mamiya press backs and the other graphic...
For large format C41, there is no place in alberta.. try ABC in vancouver or ColourGenics in toronto.....
But E6 is still being processed at Vistek in Calgary.. 35mm to 8x10 last i heard from Sam...
I got my 45A over 23 years ago and it has travelled through italy, mexico, guatemala and around north america.... best basic camera and tough! Still use it but tried a calumet woodfield which wasn't...
sorry for the late post but just back from vancouver island..... I live in Canmore which is 20km from the Banff townsite. There are a bunch of us large format and film fans here and if you let me...
i have a copy of this lens and so does my buddy Peter.... he tested both copies with a lens resolution chart and both were the sharpest lenses he has tested. in fact, sharper and better contrast than...
when i bought a horseman 6x12 roll film back for my older toyo 45A, i encountered the same problem. the early toyos sometimes came with a standard non graphlok back so i had to hunt around and find...
hi and question for dave, what was the name of the lab that stopped processing 5x7 C41???? Here in alberta, there is no large format C41 processing, period. Please dont tell me ABC lab in...
