I think you will need an expert machinist to do this; Richard Ritter did one for me in the past.
I am pretty sure that S.K. Grimes can also do this.

You can have a cam made custom by R. Ritter; he made one for my Technika a few years back.
Jon,
I use the PDN system currently, and have been carefully learning a new digital negative system over the past year. My goal is to make contact prints with Lodima paper, which I now have...
In the PBS documentary about Ansel Adams he spoke at one point about the sacrifices he made to be a photographer, and spoke about the things in life he did not see, or time not spent with family,...
Now that I have re-organized my darkroom, and found a nice top shelf for my view cameras, it occurs to me that I need a few dust covers to complete the project.
I would like them to be clear, to...
I was curious about how you determine shutter speed for various moving water subjects. Moving water shutter speeds can be difficult to select; I had an idea to carry my digital camera around and...
I have used night vision goggles for loading Efke 100 film and TMY 400 film for many years-no problems.
I am a subscriber for many years. Another reason to keep the paper version is that I like to cut out and save articles in different files in my darkroom-very helpful for referring back to different...
One item no one has mentioned I carry is a knee pad; the type that gardeners use to cusion there knees when kneeling down. For lower shots it helps when kneeling before the ground glass, and keeps my...
The most important thing about photographing the dunes is to get there early to catch the early morning light. It takes longer than you realize to hike over to the main dunes, and you have to start...
Allen, your wallscapes are great! I like #67 in particular.
Kevin, you seem like you have really done a lot of tinkering with lenses! I just sent my first lens off to focal point for a recoat, and am anxiously awaiting the result (surprised that it takes...
I would be curious to see a few examples of photos taken with the P&S lenses, if anyone has any to post on the internet.
Hi Jim,
How do you time your exposures with the Verito? I had been under the impression it is too large for standard shutters.
Does microwaving the print truly duplicate the drydown effect the same way? I have always thought that air drying led to more drydown than microwaving.
I was curious to see if anyone was suggesting any cloth that was less prone to shedding, or leaving dust and fibers in the darkroom. My thought was to have some lintless cloth to avoid fibers on...
I disagree Roteague; hybrids that are coming along in the next few years will be getting close to 80 mpg or more, and will include a Lexus Prius, more roomy and comfortable. Shortly afterwards, there...
I just bought a Camry Hybrid, and am very happy with it; I doubled my gas mileage to 34 mpg! Effectively cut my gas cost in half, saving 1,400 dollars a year.
When I ordered a case a few years back it took a long time, and there was something going on about him moving and the phone was disconnected, etc., but I finally got the case after a few months. I...
I think this is an f8 aperture lens, according to some old posts--there is no aperture listed on the lens.
I found an old Bausch and Lomb lens on Ebay, and need help determining what the focal length may be. Any of the lens experts know the focal length for a lens listed as:
Zeiss Anastigmat Series II...
I have tried the BTZS, and many others, but now prefer the Blackjacket. See my lengthy review over on APUG if you are interested.
I would be curious to see the same photo with each lens stop down a bit, say to f16 or f22.
I have tried the Series V Protar lenses on my 11x14, and although they are fine lenses, I found the f18 maximum aperture a real problem. The image on the ground glass was usually very hard to see.

He has been a very good dealer in my experience. He must be on vacation or off for a break; his web site does say something about revamping the site and being down for awhile. Just keep trying, it...
I believe this is an appropriate place to insert my current favorite Edward Weston quote; taken from Popular Photography, June of 1938: 'Master of Simplicity'
"I have worked 35 years, yet this...
It may be the case, but the options for film and paper in 11x14, my preference, are becoming more scarce. If we can still get Kodak to make a special run of TMY 400 every few years, I will be happy....
They can be removed; I just converted 2 from cog to magnet top. You just take a pair of pliers and pry them really hard, and they will pop off.
Once when shooting in Death Valley in the morning, I turned my camera toward the increasingly hot sun, in between taking pictures, and my bellows started smoking. What I surmise happened was that the...
I do not think that Marflex will make cams for you, but Richard Ritter made one for a new lens I had mounted on my camera which worked very well.
I tried to fix the gears that were slipping, but there was no quick fix. Satter does have the parts-I called them directly. After thinking about it for awhile though, I made the decision to switch to...
I will try that, thank you very much!!
My Jobo processor has served me well for many years, but lately the drum is slipping during the rotation; it appears the white plastic gears that rotate the drum are slipping, because they have...
It is an interesting article. I got the impression after reading it this morning that the plates were not taken by Ansel; there were just too many experts and people that worked with him in the early...
I may be interested in 5x7 holders; forgive my lack of knowledge, but can you explain exactly what the term 'full plate' film holders means? Would this differ from my Fidelity holders? I get the...
Remember, Edward Weston only had four lenses for all his travels with his 8x10 camera, which included a triple convertible; the shortest was 12 inches (300mm); he had no wide angle lens!
Ansel...
I have both the Artar and the Fuji C, and think they are both great lenses. The advantage of the Artar is that it can be found fairly inexpensively in a barrel. The Fuji on the other hand is more...
Although I did find a 240mm Computar and also a 10 3/4 inch Dagor, both for under 300 dollars each. Both cover 11x14 format with room to spare. The real expensive lenses are the 305mm Computar, or...
I am reading this thread and hoping someone eventually can make a 600 mm Dagor or Protar lens; I would certainly be a customer. It may be a complex undertaking, but I am sure that it could be done...
Buying lenses on EBAY--enough is enough!! I did not need that Emil Busch 21 inch lens I just picked up, although it was only 86 dollars. Most important thing is to get back in the darkroom...
