I believe the 450 series is the older generation. The more recent ones are (from basic to high end) LE, LS, LX and LX-C. You get yaw-free movement with LS and LX. With LX you can adjust the vertical...

Here is the picture of the one I build.

I made one myself. I went to a camera junk store, and found an old cable release with ~31 mm long throw but the tip had non-standard thread. I cut the screw and replaced it with the one from nikon...
I agree with Steve. EBAY is killing or killed new camera mfgs/sellers. It's not just LF, but also mamiya, nikon etc. That's why mfgs prefer to sell digital because of the built-in obsolescence. One...
Vincent showed that the height of the film makes a big difference in sharpness. At 3.5mm setting, it outperforms the nikon 4000 and flextight. I wonder whether somebody would produce a film holder...
Photo-i has started his review of the epson V700. It's very very close to Nikon 4000 performance, http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20V700/page_8.htm
I imagine the V750M with...
I just bought an Apo Ronar 480mm f11 MC mounted in Sinar DB (sn: 106XXXXX). Of course, I found a sticker: "Sinar mounted and adjusted." Can this lens be mounted in Copal #3? I always thought that apo...
This was discussed in the past. Many said it will cover 5x7 with good movement, and Kerry said it will cover 4x10.
When I got mine, it did not come with the cable release. To test it, I used a straight steel wire ~1.5mm diameter to push into the shutter cocking-release hole. It worked, the shutter fired. With...
My Minolta 7s has tiny fungus infestation (looks like spider web) when I got it. I exposed it to sunlight for an hour, keeps using it (BTW, it's sharp lens) and stores it in dry environment with my...
There are example scans from V700 here:

He said: "...the V700 scanner is outperforming the 4990 by a wide margin."
It's shown in their website www.epson.com
As with all digital gadgets, good thing comes to people who wait. It's always good to become a procrastinator in digital. :)
My 150mm (sn 130xxxxx) and 240mm (sn 140xxxxx) g claron are free from schneideritis. My componon-s 135mm has slight schneideritis. Both my repro-clarons (305 and 420) and makro symmar hm 120mm (sn...
Look here, lower left pic: http://198.63.62.23/ebay/lg/jan200.jpg
I've never seen schneideritis like that.
because the focal length of the nikkors is not 150mm, then you need to rescale the fstop. You can compare the plots of FL/fstop of those three lenses to help you rescale the fstop.
I bought SK Makro Symmar 120mm f5.6 in barrel. SK also sells it in copal #0. Does this lens screw directly to copal press-shutter #0 without any washers?
I read somewhere that the aperture...
"B&W is another matter. There are already small firms producing emulsions."
I'm a strong believer of this: When the giants go away, little firms will pick up the opportunity. When Kodak and Fuji...
Both barrel and in-shutter 150mm g clarons stop down to 64.
Sinar, Horseman and Linhof now have small monorail view cameras that are designed for digital backs. I guess PhaseOne and Leaf could make backs for those cameras.
For my eyes, the digital images have plasticky color and less details. With the bayer matrix color filter, digital images never show you the real color. I have seen many digital images from dslr. ...
