Welcome Matias! Curious to see you're from Buenos Aires as I've just started to learn tango and BA has become of some interest to me. Perhaps someday I'll get to visit.

No.

I have a couple of variable soft focus Velostigmats which I really like. I like my Veritos, too, although wide-open they're too soft for my taste. But the rear cell of my 11 1/2" Verito is 20" and a...

Does anyone know of a way to adapt spiked feet to a Gitzo G1548 MkII? This one has the plastic feet which are not removable. They're a bit "bouncy" on hard surfaces which I find annoying. Otherwise...

11 1/2" FL. Sorry.

10 3/4" was a fairly common focal length and is very close to the length you're asking about. I believe it was intended for whole plate. They seem to show up all the time. I have a Velostigmat 1A, I...

NPR's piece on Ezra Stoller:

Always nice when a LF photographer gets coverage. That photo...

I thought this was a thread about the total destruction and obliteration of film.

I've posted this image from my home page before, but I think it fits well the overall mood of the pictorialist genre.

Doesn't sound normal. Probably "modified" like this one was.

Depends on if you're buying or selling. If you're buying one, then prices probably begin around $450. But if you're trying to sell one, prices begin around $350. Happens every time...

A bit of a hike, but it would be nice to meet some like-minded individuals.

Thanks for the heads-up Sandy.

Richard K on this forum has a Ries J100 tripod for sale. That's hard to beat for 5x7 in the field. But you'll get more differing replies on this topic than you could ever want.

Nice idea, but the image is right-side-up. Too confusing.
;)

And it's very nice indeed! The textured rubber belt is set into the inside of the collar so it sits flush with the interior surface of the collar. The fit is very nice; not too loose, not too tight....

My understanding is that earlier versions had locking focus knobs; later versions did not.

Posted at the top of the For Sale forum: "The sales price must be clearly stated in the original post. Auctions are not permitted."

I wrote above regarding using a Sinar 4x5. Good idea except you said you wanted to use it on 5x7. It was late when I wrote that; sorry!

OK then, a Sinar 5x7. But that's going to be a more...

The focal length is a bit long for 5x7, but it's really a matter of taste. Some will love it; others not.

My 14 1/2" Verito is mounted on a Sinar board, so a Sinar 4x5 camera would accommodate it....

I'd start by asking the seller if he/she has the locking screws for the rear swing. From the pictures it looks like this camera may have been apart at some point, so perhaps the screws are still...

1. The back swing is working, but not with gears. It's wood scraping on wood, with a center screw to allow this swing movement.

Rear swing on the Folmer doesn't use gears. However, it appears that...

Posts like the one above underscore your point. I wish you the best.

Tap Plastics sells or used to sell a product called P95, which was ground on one side and worked well as a ground glass. Tracy Storer should know; I know he used it. Perhaps he'll comment.

That's pretty!

It's like someone switched around all the knobs on my camera.

Keith,

The thumbnails on your APUG post don't enlarge for those of us who do not have APUG subscriptions. Perhaps you could post them here, too.

Looks just like my first 8x10. Wisner lensboards are not uncommon. Plus anyone who's handy with woodworking can make some very serviceable boards out of Baltic birch plywood. Don't limit your...

It might be worth contacting the museum at the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Kill Devil Hills. When I visited in 2003 they had a display about the Wrights' use of photography and a Korona like...

$2691.44.
It pays to be a writer.

This thread doesn't seem to be large format related, but it touches closely on a subject that has been of interest to me. So let me add that I have a Nikon Coolscan 5000 that I acquired from a fellow...

A pinhole is pretty cheap.

Thanks!

Could some Durst 138 user please tell me the height from the floor to the top of the column? I don't have access to mine right now, but am considering moving it into some new digs next year - if it...

By using an 8x10 cold light for 35mm, you're using only a very small fraction of the light available. If you add condensers of some sort to concentrate the light, it no longer remains a diffusion...

Hmmm.... Must be in a different collections department. The only pictures they ever wanted from me were of dead presidents.

My sense of humor is delicately subtle. Oblique. Warped maybe. Bank of...

Bank of America's been collecting from me for years.

But why should you or anybody else - especially the people who have money invested - have to assume anything at all? Barry's utter lack of communication is the most egregious part of this. People can...

Might as well exhume Winston Churchill while you're at it.
;-)

Well, I may be simplistic, but refractor telescopes I've had were pretty well taxed covering a 35mm negative, at least at prime focus. Perhaps that was just because of internal stops, but I would...
