    Re: Schneider-Kreuznach Super-Angulon 90mm/8

    I'm sending the lens to Flutot's for a CLA. Unfortunately, there's a two month waiting list. Looks like I've got plenty of time to think about what camera to mount it on. So, what would be some...

    Thanks, everybody!

    @venchka: I'll keep you in mind about the boards. Not sure what camera I'll get to mount it on, so we'll see if I end up needing it or not.

    Beginner needs camera advice

    I got started in LF recently when I had a Polaroid 110a converted to 4x5. While it's great to be able to give an old camera a new lease on life, I've found I'd like something a little more...

    Re: Polaroid back for arca swiss 5x4

    Are you looking to use the 4x5 Fuji Instant? If so, the 550 will work as well Fuji's own PA-45. If you're wanting to use standard size Instant film, you'll need the 405.

    Re: Epson v700 film holder problem

    I haven't had that much trouble with the 4x5 holder on my V700. Yes, it's flimsy, cheap, & won't hold the film entirely flat, but it's miles & miles better than the 120 holder.

    Re: Polaroid 110a converted to 4x5

    Arthur, the back is made from wood. What type I couldn't tell you as I didn't do the work. And yes, the RF was swapped. It came from a Polaroid 900.

    I just use my watch to time it. As for the temp, just check the weather online for your area and use that as an estimation.

    Re: Entry level 5x4 neg scanner

    What's your opinion of the Microtek's quality? I've heard horror stories about them being crappily built and not good quality at all. And apparently Microtek's customer support is the pits.
