For a long time now I've been reading about some owner users of the Travelwide, that have had problems with the action of the helicoil being tight or freezing up. I don't recall any complaints on...

Scott,
I used mine with the Helical and the supplied rubber mounted pinhole plate. I shot Arista 400 with aperture of f/128. It was mid morning in a Riparian park almost no clouds. Exposure times...

I lubed my helical with a tiny bit of natural woodwind oil for cork on musical instruments. So far so good. Has anyone tried dry silicone spray lubricant? You spray it on and it dries instantly. I...

Dang MOZ,

I was just thinking about making that same shot, over near the riverside in Tempe, but now you beat me to it. Oh well, you did a great job of it; very dynamic!. You could title it, "Lift...

Great! Just in time for World wide Pinhole Day on April 24th.

Hi Soonerpa,

I hope you'll have your TW ready by Worldwide Pinhole Camera day.

Greetings to all,

Hi Kuzano,

I was just reviewing old post on the TW blog for "fix it Up" ideas when I came across you're above entry. I just wanted to say I've been buying and selling cameras and lenses on...

Corran

Nice shot; was it on a tripod or handheld? I've already posted how I cut out the TW focusing screen and put an acrylic GG in the cutout. It was a bit of a pain but works great. Others have...

Thanks Peter,

You are right about the Linhof quality. It's all about the quality control and selection process. The lenses were taken off the Schneider production line in the final stages and a...

Damn Daimocow, those images look great! Tonal qualities are strong and I see very little lens distortion. What was your F/stop? The depth of field is very good too. I have that lens also, except it's...

Augusto,

Like the handle; are the top and bottom plates metal or printed also? I'm most impressed though with the great job you did in improving the distance numbers. I filed notches into the edge...

Hey Vinny,

A couple of people have done that already. All of my film holders have metal septum's and I don't have the tools to cut it cleanly. Would like to see some photos of that method.

Jon,

See my last post to Drew Bedo. I left more info and the merchant address. The GG is highly crafted, bright and easy viewing. You can order the grid to different sizes. I chose 3/4 inch for a...

Drew Bedo & et al.

More GG talk- I almost wish you had posted your GG modification sooner, before I had ordered an oversize acrylic GG. I'm curious to the cost as it took me a couple hours on two...

Thanks. I wasn't thinking of it as a do it yourself at the time. It was intended for a more narrow reader group - The Using and Modifying the TravelWide folks. I used the LF Image sharing...

Tim,
Thank you for your advice. I rarely shoot digital, just with my pocket Sony Cybershot. I do have friends who use cloud storage and guess I should learn to do the same. Is Photobucket a good...

The posting process is too difficult so I'm quitting with 8 photos for now.

Derw Bedo & others on the "Using and Modifying the 4x5 travelwide camera..

Below are shown my efforts at modifying the TW GG. I am posting about 12 photos . Since only four images are allowed per...

Chauncey, and et. all,

Sounds like a solid effort. Look forward to seeing those photos and hearing about any difficulties you may have in the process.

I just finished modifying my GG focus...

Drew,
I have bid on ebay five times in the last month for a Grafmatic back with no, out bid each time. But I read on an older post it was doable so I'm gona try it once I get one.

Happy trails,...

Drew & et.al ,
The photo I attempted to upload in my below reply are posted on the Image and Sharing forum in the Wanderlust Travelwide 4x5 thread. Many of the photos posted on this forum by others...

Rm,
Incredible beauty! A fast moving landscape and you caught it at just the right time and from the right place. What luck you have.

Happy trails,

I've always wondered what it felt like to get up that early - haunting!

Very nice images Frank.

I like alternative image processes alot. Where I rent lab time, the Art Intersection.com, they have several nice galleries which hang the work of analog and alternative...

Hello to Everyone, but mostly to the followers of the Travelwide camera by Wanderlust and the thread:"Using and Modifying the Travelwide 4x5 Camera".

Yesterday I posted a reply to a post from Drew...

Ah,ha Drew. So you've come to see the folly of your off hand, or should we say left handed humor. Guilty of hijacking dull moments with comedy.

Back to Photography with the TW. Over the...

Randy,
A one meter pile? Really!? I use old military foot lockers, they're so much neater. They hold alot and you can slide them from spot to spot without digging inside. I haven't used my...

Why Drew, why?

By the way, I had hoped to be the 1st vision impaired photog to show photos on the LFP site but you beat me to it. I visited your web site and must say it is excellent.
Look...

Ben, Sounds great. Looking forward to your new GG. I think I will continue my mod effort as it is good therapy for my hand & eye coordination. Setting up Wista 4x5 with all the adjustments is eye...

Sounds relaxing. Did you meter the scenes ? Record your exposure? Looking forward to seeing them.

Happy trails,

Hey, Plywood, Jim & Kellog,

I received my notification email for shipment on Oct 24, with a tracking number that did not execute. But the 24th was a Saturday, on Monday the number was good.

When you get to the "Backed projects" page you may either click on the blue circle with a plus at its center OR the picture of the Travel Wide camera at the left hand end (home) of the...

Pssst....

All's quite on the western front. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Happy trails,

Gadfly & et. al,

Damn it! #517.

Oh well, what's a couple more weeks. Just hope my bus's don't get theirs first.

Happy trails,

Ben,

A pocket size booklet of field camera use would be great. The hard part (the way of the TAO) would be in selecting what topics would or would not be included. There's so much out there. The...
