Like Daniel, my experience getting back orders from View Camera was frustrating. I ordered six about two years ago. I had to call three times, deal with a rather curt employee (or maybe he wasn't...
Thanks for the response so far. Terry, I'm in the states. Do you have a domestic recommendation?
I'd like to replace the bellows on a Deardorff 8x10. Besides making it myself, which I am loathe to do, what options are available? Can anyone recommend a rea lly good source for camera bellows?

I'm upgrading my motley collection of film holders. They're about 40% Fidelity Elites and 60% Lisco Regals.
Does anyone have a preference between Fidelity and Lisco? If so, why?
Do you prefer...
I've been fedexing my film to and from locations. I usually send it to a friend's residence or to the hotel where I'll be staying. It's a hassle and everytime I ship a box off I wonder if I'll...
ABC+ pyro (a/k/a rollo pyro) from the Formulary requires a presoak with a dilute base solution. When I use my home made BTZS tubes, the presoak solution usually does not get to all of the film...
I suggest adding the following indemnification to protect the Wishor in the event the Wishee?s merriment exceeds legal limits or causes injury:
WISHEE agrees to indemnify WISHOR from, against,...
I use the Nike Triax 26 watch. It sells for around $100, has a countdown timer that chirps twice and then starts again (great for agitation intervals) and a chronograph. Plus, it has a button to ...
Yes. TMY shot at 200 ISO developed in Formulary's ABC+ pyro diluted 13:26:1000 for 16:00 @ 75 degrees in BTZS tubes. Strong yellow stain. Prints well on Grade 2 to 3 1/2 paper, depending on the ...
I use a silicone lubricant that is designed for bicycles. It's clear and doesn't leave a heavy residue. The only problem is that it's an aerosol, so I spray it in a teacup and then use a dropper...
My Deardorff 8x10 from the late 1950s weighs it at 12 lbs., 3 ounces. That's without lens board, and with the 8x0 back and the round metal base plate at the bottom. I suppose earlier models that ...
I have a rather thin 8x10 negative that was developed in ABC+ pyro. It prints o n grade 4 paper and I'd like to intensify it.
Does anyone have a good method for intensifying pyro negatives?
I've been shooting 8x10 and contact printing in my tiny NYC apartment for the la st year and a half. Now it's time to make some enlargements.
Any suggestions for a high-quality lab that can make...
I've tried different things and, when canned air or camel-hair brush doesn't cut it, what works best for me is Q-tips and Kodak lens cleaner. Put a drop of lens cleaner on the Q-tip. Clean a...
Has anyone tried the Phil Davis' ExpoDev Palm Pilot program? I've used the Casi o version for a while and am considering upgrading. However, I'm curious as to what, if anything, I would gain.
I'm stumped. I'm trying to compute the bellows factor for a 12" Dagor shooting close-ups and I'm using one of the usual formulas: x = bellows extension/focal length. I know I measure from the lens...
I have the same problem with my 12" Gold Dot Dagor. It looks like it needs something around 57mm (or 2.25 inches). The simplest and cheapest solution was to take a 62mm filter, flip it so that...
