Duh! The answer appears in another post on the same general subject just a few threads down the list!
Gene, if the 545i will work with only the Fuji darkroom developing films, but there is a Poloroid (used) model holder that WILL work with the Fuji INSTANT PRINT FILMS, what is the model of that...
Good cameras, lenses, etc. are carried in various backpacks and camera bags. B&J Commercial Views are wrapped in an old quilt and a dark cloth and tossed in the back of my pick'um up truck . . ....
:eek:
Is that also known as a Kiev 88? :D
I have always considered myself a user rather than a photographer because the latter title tends to suggest that I know what I am doing . . . and that's highly doubtful.
I have carefully bought...
Al, had I not provided some space in the queue blow the maker of vacuum cleaner cameras, we might never have had the joy of seeing the Boy of Blue cameras (?) that Evan brought to our attention. ...
There are a number of labs the do B&W and Color LF processing, all sizes up to 8x10, where you can send it out as David Karp suggested.
I have used Photo Arts in Hattiesburg, MS and Collier Drug...
Golly, al, I figured that would be self explanitory. None of us can identify the very worst view camera of all, so by saying one is the penultimate, or next to last, camera maker when we are trying...
It appears that most of the manufacturers (even Bender) and repair shops use the same clips, probably obtained from the same source(s) . . . it seems that it couldn't be too much of a closely guarded...
Well, at least this troll asked a question that is of interest to any newbies who happen to be in the area. Though the same question has been asked and answered a zillion times before, it's a good...
I have both, too, and since Neal gave up on standardizing them I guess I might as well get the woodworking tools out and make separate types of boards for each, then buy more lenses from Galli to...
Sorry guys, I was just overcome with an overpowering urge to puntificate. :p
Nathan, I used to live in York Village, and I remember those big old flies . . . thought they were buzzards. I was...
Aw, heck, just fit it with a Goerz Ursa Dagor, then grin and bear it. :D
Oh, almost forgot, 6x18 using Kodak No. 1 Panorams.
Golly!!! :eek:
. . . the Jabberwockys are slain, the Klan models their latest crimson robes, the fly fishermen network, the freedom of speech debate continues, the "straw bosses" hide in the wings, and the dying...
... .- -.-- .-- .... .- - :confused:
Though the environs were a bit lewd, crude, and rude at times, a visit here used to be a great sociological experience. Now all we can do is compare black and chrome cameras! :(

Drew, I don't know about others, but I would gladly pay $20, maybe more, for some step by step instructions with pix and/or drawings that show your modifications to the 545. Some of us are just...
WoW, Evan, I hadn't seen all those "cameras" (?) . . . guess it's a good thing I said penultimate, as I was trying to leave room for someone even wackier, maybe the devil himself!! After seing those...
OMG, here's the penultimate LF camera fabricator! :eek:
Read the write-up that accompanies the vacuum cleaner camera thing (#270277464298 on FleaBay) . . . like, this guy makes cameras out of...
Gosh, I like my old Bunk & Junks!
Now, John, I gave up trying to use a frozen turkey . . . just couldn't get the film holder to fit in the hole correctly. But, golly, I newer thought of using...
Thanks, guys! You answered my question plus some, so more thanks for the links to Dean Jones' Razzle site. Maybe if I get enough shekels saved up, someday I can get one of those (but not one of...
Oh, so a Razzle is a Poloroid 110 folder converted to 4x5? :confused:
Ash, I was trying to figure out the camera in your picture, but my memory of older Poloroids is worse than fuzzy. I would...
OK, guys, I've tried searching for "Razzle" on the forum and found a lot of talk about it in many threads, but no definition. It sounds like something between a noogie and slamming a guy on the mat...
I think Galli is the guy that has been skulking around Cape Canaveral lately . . . maybe to stow away on the next moon shot? :D
"A pinhole camera I made from a frozen turkey--baaaad idea!"
Wow! And I though a 126 SLR was a bad joke! The Blue Ribbon goes to John . . . nothing can top that "camera"!!
Frank:
C'mon, be nice, now . . . some of us are masochists and need some space to fulfill our inner cravings. Among the truckload of LF cameras around my place I keep at least 3 Calumets to help...
My worst were:
Leica IIIf - a pain in the butt to use in every respect; even an Argus "brick" would put it to shame.
and
Ricoh 126-Flex - the biggest joke in photography, a "pro SLR" wannabe...
B&J Commercial Views in 4x5, 5x7, & 8x10. Also 2D and Deardorff in 8x10. All the others I will toss out one at a time to occupy and distract the wolves as I retreat with the afore mentioned...
4x5, 5x7, 8x10. only 2 of the 5x7 and several of the other 2 sizes. Making a film holder and back for 4x10, but I'm so slow that it takes me 6 months to shine my shoes! Use 4x5 mostly because of...

The fellow at the Brilliant Ground Glass store is Steve Hopf, and his e-mail address is hopfsteve@gmail.com
You can't ever get him by phone as he is located in a rural area that has...
Wow! A Super Ikonta and Panoram pale by comparison to many of the above . . . I can't complain.
I have enough problems with those spammers on my e-mail site and certainly don't want to roll out the red carpet for them on the LF Forum. It might be a bit of extra work to get to the FS/WTB...
Back in the mid 1990's I got into a money bind and sold my mint Super Ikonta A with Syncro-Compur and a special order Zeiss lens (not the usual Tessar). I was in the DC area at the time and folks...
Brian & Scott:
I have enjoyed reading this thread, and do hope you guys can get a nice little group of LF film burners together to shoot the scenes in the area, swap/buy camera gear, do darkroon...
Allen, that spring, which you see lying limp on the right end of the silver lever in both pictures is not under any tension when the shutter is in BULB operation . . . as it is in your two pictures. ...
I'll be 62 next Monday, and all I'll get is a lousy T-shirt!
Maybe I can borrow it, huh? I'll treat it like the little old lady who only took it to church on sunday. :)
There sure were a lot of Kogakus in Japan, whatever they were.
Mi no ROO ta? Say WHUT?? Since they are *dead anyhoo, I think I will keep calling mine by the pronunciation Mi NOL tuh

Peter mentioned the bellows making book by Ed Romney - it is a good bellows making manual and is still available. Ed's widow, Sara, now sells his camera repair manuals, tools, etc. at...
