This is a good thread. Can anyone remember the name of the movie that was set in England about a photographer who was obsessed with photographing fairies. It was avery good movie. I am surprised...

Looks at first blush to be pinholes. These could come from your shortstop being too strong (too acid). Others will chime in.

Since I also use a 4x5/5x7 Deardorff, I have put all my view camera lenses on 4x4 Deardorff boards and had adaptor boards made for all my other view cameras. I have even mounted #5 shutters to the...

Chris Strobel, can you tell us more about how you took this picture, the sharpness over the whole flower with a 300 MM lens on (4x5?) is outstanding. Love the image.

For your information, Dick has sold his house and is moving to Texas this weekend. I am not sure of the exact day. His area code is 989 not 517. I am also not sure if the phone is still active. ...

The 178 f2.5 Aero Ektar is a neat lens. I was lucky and have one in a Synchromatic Alphax shutter. I think the shutter in a #5. Since I put all of my lenses in 4x4 boards, i put this lens in a 4x4...

If I am reading your question correctly, what I have done on some lenses where the lens flange mounts to the front of the lens board has been to cut the lens flange down to be within the lens board...

Since this thread is about 4x10 cameras, see http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?t=23134&highlight=4x10+conversion this is about the 4x10 Lotus/Arca-swiss Hybrid by Kerry...

I was lucky to find a 4x10 back that had been made to fit my 8x10 Phillips and my 8x10 Deardorff. I use 4x10 holders and can use either 4x10 film or cut down 8x10 film. I am happy with this...

Joanna,
I hope you can get this project working. While I do use some 4x5, my main camera is 5x7, with some use of 4x10 and 8x10. Please include them and the many other sizes that people are...

All of my lenses are mounted on 4x4 boards. I use a DD 6x6 to 4x4 adapter board for the 8x10 DD and have adapter boards to hold these 4x4 boards on my Sinar, Phillips and Arca Swiss cameras. I put...

Dan, I have too many lenses and too many cameras. To use this lens, I need another camera. What would be a good selling price for this lens. It is in great shape,EX+.

I have a 38mm f/4.5 Goerz Aerogor, coated lens in a synchro-compur shutter in ex++ condition. I know it is a WA and I was told that it was made based on the Biogon formula. I have not been able to...

Thanks to all. What a wealth of information. Glad you are both here. Mike, did you keep the 1000xl?

Thanks to all. Michael and Amy, good to hear from you both. I got in touch with Microtek and was told that since my scanner is less than 4 years old, I could get a replacement for$485.00. The rep....

This is a good scanner for the work I do. I got it because Ted Harris suggested that it was the one to get. It has been excellent. Now the Bulb for the top (flatbed scanning portion) has burned out....

Thanks for the responses so far. The lensboard is wood for a 4x5/5x7 Deardorff. I have reducer boards for all of my view cameras to take the 4x4 boards. I should be able to remove 1/4 to 3/8 inch...

The hose on my pump broke so I cut it off. I fill the tank with water and blow in the hose and sufficient pressure releases the top without the lid jumping off. Glad you are ok.

I just purchased a Model A/B (C) Arca Swiss. When I read this thread I put a 4x5 holder in and it works fine. Post a photo of your back from the top in both the the landscape and portrait positions....

Monty these are outstanding. Love the swirles in the first picture. Your daughter is a great model. What lenses did you use?

William, There has been a question of the possibility 4x10 film being offered. Could you check to see if Kodak would also cut that size and the cost.
