Hi, I've been shooting 4x5 for the last 4 years using a Chamonix 0451H and multiple lenses. I have noticed that on my last 2 batches of film I am getting vertical lines on my prints / scans (I can...

I bought a new 045H-1 from Hugo here in the UK last month. The VAT I paid on customs was the same as I paid on a second hand lens from Japan - this was down the helpful description Hugo put on the...

Too late! I sold the Nagoaka, and I am very very happy with the 045H1. It is only slightly bigger than the folded NS but far more rigid and able to take my 210mm lens without sagging. I've shot this...

I have shot my 045H-1 a few times now. The ground glass is excellent in my opinion (although I have only shot with an old 70's Nagaoka Seisakusho previously and in comparison it is night and day)....

Thought I would share my new Chamonix 045H-1. It's a beautiful camera.

Once again thanks everyone, I just ordered the 4x5 H-1.

Thanks all, comments appreciated. I have to say I am thinking of the 4X5 H-1...

Hi Guys,

I wondered if I could get some advice (or at least confirm my research) - I am trying to choose a Chamonix 4x5 camera. These I believe are the different choices available to me:

4X5 F1...

Bring enough clothes and weather gear for 4 seasons in 1 day. Especially in the coastal areas. This is when our better weather comes in but it can still be cold and very wet. If you're lucky it will...

Thanks for the heads up about dust - I have read about this so will take it seriously. Thanks for all comments thus far, I guess I should let you know that I have bought a complete Nagoaka kit for a...

Thanks for your replies. I will continue to think hard (and see what kit present itself to me!).

Thanks for your comments. Leaving an instant print with a portrait subject is great idea! - so thank you. I am 32, so not sure if that qualifies as young? I may do as is suggested and dip my toe in...

Already sorted :)

Thanks Ari - appreciated.

Please don't get me wrong, I would still be setting up and composing the image. I just wanted to give some idea of how I would be using the camera. After reading many 'what should I buy posts' I...

Thanks for the swift replies! And yes, both would be good :) I would be planning quite a few pictures in order to make a series. That said, there is something deeply appealing to shooting landscape...

Hi Guys,

I am a new member, joined a week ago and since then I have been reading many interesting posts here. I have a few questions and wanted to gather opinions. I don’t own any LF gear but have...
