don't know if this helps, but it does fold for me with a rodenstock 135/5.6 sironar-N
Hi, Did anyone used this lens ? It sounds interesting as a long lens for 4x5. can it be used on a shen hao 4x5 with 300mm or so of bellows?
Andy,
I already own the 135 el nikor (the current model). What do you mean when you say 'barley acceptable' coverage? that the lens doesn't cover the entire 4x5 format? (it does, from my...
P.S - from 4x5" negative
does this lens is good enough for 30X40" b/w prints (beseler MXII enlarger)? any opinion will be appreciated.
matthieu, Do yourself a favour and AVOID sodium bichromat: a know carcitogenic agent, very nasty stuff.
Greg, crown-graphic with a rodenstock sironar-N 135/5.6 folds perfectly.
Hi all,
I hope that this is not totaly off-topic, but did anyone actually seen any of Ba silico's images on exhibit somewhere? I know and admire his work only from books(the one I own is called...
"i once "repaired" an old ektar 127mm shutter/lens and had enough springs and ge ars and wheels left over to make a cute little music box"
If we take this theory to the extreme - if you'll take...
I once field stripped a washing machine down to it's chasis to find that it was not hooked up to the socket..
I have a very warm place in my heart to the "new Topogrphics" guys like Joe Deal , Stephen Shore, Robert Adams,Frank Gohlke and Lewis Baltz. I guess they were the photogra phers which influenced me...
One of my favorites is Gabrielle Basilico
I own a Shen-hao with black metal fininsh and the fininsh is not so good on that too. I didn't get it from the US importer- maybe that's the reason.
Anyway, I second all that reccomended it over...
Paulo, this is a good lens for landscape, but for perspective control you need something with more coverage.
Matthew,
from my experience with BPF200 and PMK, I can say that it was not as sharp and quite a bit more grainy than FP4+. Also, for me, the difference in tonality compared to fp4+ in tge same...
Mark, A good option for you would be the Caltar II-N 135mm/5.6 from calumet www.calume tphoto.com this is the same lens as the rodenstock sironar-N, even comes in a rodenstock bo x with a big ...
Robert,
I think that this forum is healthy enough so withstand a few wisecracks from tim e to time. I truly see this forum as a community, an interesting and useful place that people from all ...
Larry, just rotating the back woun't do -- you have to rotate the whole camera - i.e put your camera on the ground, then attach the tripod to the camera so that the legs form an upside-down...
The shutter is Synchro compur - it has no other designations.
Hi everyone,
I just got a new shen-hao 4x5 camera. very nice machine, although the finish of the metal parts is so-so. Camera is solid and good, as been metioned several tim es here so I don't...
Hi everyone,
I think that this question had been asked before, but I can't find any thread ab out it, so here we go: can I fit my linhof angulon 90/6.8 on a copal #0 linhof/wista board, or do I...
2 thumbs up for the initiative! If anyone needs help in Israel, drop me a line. Be advised though, that 8x10 stuff is a special-order down here, but I have good contacts with both Fuji, Ilford and...
Wow, too bad it's the last camera available! this is the first time i've seen/heard anything about this camera, and from what I saw so far this has to be the closest camera yet to qualify as my own...
I'm thinking on getting a Walker titan. If you use one, I would be happy to know one more thing about the way it opens and closes: what is the opening and closing sequence and what operations you...
Josh,
One lens that you can look at is 90mm Schneider Angulon. It is very small comparing to newer designs of wide-angle lenses, cover entire 4x5 without movements and sharp when closed down....
Hello to everybody,
I'd like to get some advise concerning folding 4x5 field cameras that can be fol ded with a lens (specificly my favorite 135mm/5.6 Rodenstock sironar-N). If anyo ne knows about...
I use these tans a little differently than what Jobo says: I fill the tank all the way to the to with 1350ml of solution and agitate by turning the tank upside down like I do with the steel tanks I...
My favorite lens is my Caltar N-II 135mm/5.6, which is identical to the Rodensto ck sironar-N 135.Its a very small and sharp lens, and I wind up using it about 8 0% of the time. If someone have any...
Pete, I've been using pyrocat HD for 6-7 months for all my work (4x5"). It replaces PMK, quit well I might add. My method of processing is the jobo tank for 6 sheets. I use it 10cc A+10cc B +...
