Does anyone know if the Maxwell focusing screen for a Linhof Tech IV will fit on an Arca-Swiss F Classic 4X5 without any problems. The set-up looks the same. Ho wever, I notice that the Arca-Swiss...

Geoffrey, it wasn't the camera it stressed, it was my wallet. Seriously, vibration does not appear to be a problem with my Linhof Tech IV. I don't know if the fact that it has a die cast body as ...
Just a word or two of praise for SK Grimes. I recently purchased a Rodenstock Si ronar S 300 5.6. The lens takes 100mm filters !! No one makes them. Steve made m e a 100 to 67mm step down ring (nice...
Michael, I missed that one completely. I ordered the lens mounted on an off center board (as are all of my other lenses). Since the lens is so large I did not notice that the board is center...

Kerry, I have been considering the Fuji 240A and was intrigued by your comment that at F22 it beat the 210 Schneider. How does it compare (the Fuji 240) at infinity to your Nikon 300M as far as ...
Does anyone know if any significant weight reduction can be acheived on a 4x5 ca mera by replacing the original factory bellows with one of a different or lighte r weight material ? If so does anyone...
