I've scanned all the prior posts and can't be certain if a 65 lens is useable and can be brought into focus (infinity to about 3 meters) while remaining on the tracks (bed dropped) with Toyo's 12mm...

The board still available has a 12mm recess as opposed to the 25mm discontinued board.

Thanks all for the wisdom via the written opinions offered. I like the idea of an Epson 4990 scanner (a device I've not used) and even the Horseman VHR with a 6x9 back...is this rig still...

I recently bought a new Toyo 4x5 and some extras. My dilema is wether to pump the money into building a complete system, considering the following concerns, or just dump the 4x5 format altogether and...

Having used roll-film and 35mm gear for decades I've always had a fisheye or 20-21mm (35mm-format equivelent) in my lens arsenal and found these rectalinear and fisheys lenses quite useful in certain...

8x10: 165 angulon from 1948

4x5: Still need glass, probably will be a Rodenstock 135 sironar-s

Thanks for all the input!

I think Dave has some very relevent points that relate to my situation, especially the sturdiness vs weight consideration. I got the Green Monster, for now anyways. I...

I plan to get an 8x10 for both indoors and occasional road trips involving a minimal amount of hiking, maybe 1/2 mile at most.

I was going to use a Cambo SC combined with a custom short rail...

This is good news! Being somewhat of a newbie to the wonders of LF gear, I was under the impression that these shutters were long since discontinued.

Does anyone know the approx price of a #6 in a...

Does anyone use a light meter to measure various locations directly on the gg of a given scene to come up with a useable exposure? I have digital spot meter that I thought may work. I'd do some...

How does a linearized aperture scale differ from a non-linearized...(What is it?). Yes I did get it from Andrew and intend to use it for closeup work, so it should work fine. Thanks for all your...

I just bought a Rodenstock APO Ronar-CL 300mm and was told by the seller that it has plenty of coverage with movements for 8x10. I'm starting to have my doubts since I came across some info on a site...

Michael is correct when stating that the Fresnel is plastic and seperate from the Cambo brand Glass gg with its grids. The Fresnel is rather beatup and I'll eventually replace it. But for now, it'll...

Probably a newbie question, but should the fresnel lens go in front or behind the gg in my newly aquired Cambo 8x10 Legend. I received it with the fresnel on the lens side of the gg but I'm thinking...

Thanks for all the answers.

Now I'm wondering what the outside diameter of the barrel threads are, measured where the lens threads into the mounting flange as well as the outside diameter of the...

Does anyone have any experience usning a Nikkor APO 610 copy lens at infinity on 8x10 and 11x14? I've heard that this symmetrical lens doesn't perform well at infinity as does the Red Dots.

I just bought one of these on ePay and was hoping it covers an 8x10 at 1:1. If it doesn't it may be up for sale for what I have into it, which is less than $50.
