don't forget about vignetting, which you'll get when adding stuff to the front of that lens.
Larger filter system than the lee like the cokin z pro or whatever.
Roger,
Shen hao bag bellows also fit the chamonix 4x5, go to 210mm easily, and are ir safe. Standard chamonix 4x5 bellows are not. I'm also using standard shenhao bellows on my 45n-2 because they...
Pa-145 holder or polaroid 405 holder. That's all you need to know. Every major retaoler sells the film. $8-10/pack.
I use distilled water for everything I can.
you'd be looking at some loooooong development times with those dilutions...
not the lens in question, it's a sironar-s.
Anyone with a lathe and mill could make that part pretty easily if you took them the proper chunk of brass or whatever it is.
I got mine for $500 in mint condition 3 yrs ago. I can tell you right now it'll be about double that to get the front element replaced.
just make sure you're sitting down when they give you the repair quote.
shoot with it, if the results aren't what you like, start shopping for a used replacement lens
unscrew the elements, put it...
Welcome to the forum.
Several have offered to help but just don't follow through..........
still looking for a pic of the back removed, and measurements of the bellows frames (just to varify that the ones I have are...
I've made a few adapter boards. Send me your large board and I can make a new sinar adapter. PM me
no, but there might suddenly be a demand for 8x8 inch cameras:)
Stick it to 'em!
after you win go to http://poopsenders.com/ and get them something nice.
more $$$ than........
i use a black piece of card that's the same length as the filter's transition line clipped to the filter. easy
nope. thought about it a bit though.

Nice work. Why didn't you just have shen hao send you a replacement wood piece? or aluminum?
nothing, unless you're using a grad filter or if shooting a side-lit scene where there are clouds overhead. Avoiding extraneous light is a good thing:)
I'm awaiting bellows for my new 8x10 from him as well. I'll be machining my own frames. You could search out an online cnc shop and have a friend draw them up for you.
still looks like there's nothing keeping light from striking the back side of the filter though.
the other thing I used to do with motion picture camera mat boxes/filter holders was attach a flap of black felt in front of the filter slot that laid back towards the camera to cover that open area....
Mark, they're typically cut from neoprene.
darken light lettering and chrome with a black dry erase marker.
as Gem said, use a compendium shade if you aren't already.
Many of those chinese plates are cast aluminum fyi.94497 This one is made in my garage in grand rapids michigan and can be had for much less than $75. It's 2& 15/16" long and is tapped for a 3/8"...
Yes jim. And i've never had an issue with the adhesive on mine.
he's a nice guy. always quite cheery, but how can't you be when breathing those vapors all day in your camper/wet plate darkroom?

Boom!
2nd vote for clearbags.com. Get the ones with the adhesive on the bag, not the flap. That way nothing will stick to the work when removing it.
I don't use a bag. Just a thick wool hat. What's the bag for? Air travel? I remove the head on flights.
Jobo
Why not trays if that's what you know?
Just a wildass guess but ground glass for a large format camera is probably it.
4x10 or 4x8?
Splitter board is what i use. 4x10 film holders are available too. Split darkslide is what others use. Search split darkslide.

I bought one item from him that I wasn't happy with but had already modified it before I discovered the issue. My bad.
why hasn't bob from hp marketing chimed in on this?
yes, frank petrino and others have and posted info about it here.
