Thanks to all of you for your answers. I was definitely meaning that I wanted to process 20-30 8x10 in a developing session and obiously not in a "shot" by dipping them altogether in a tray. Although...
Michael, I had the chance to meet two years ago the owners of Lotus. They are a wonderful couple of people an the products they manufacture are outstanding. In my opinion, since you are few hours...

I am in the market for a monorail view camera and I found here in Italy a Linhof Color 45 s in excellent conditions. I played around a bit with the camera and it seemed a very good camera despite its...
Ole,
Thanks for the suggestions. I think that a 121 Super Angulon should do it fine but several people say it does not cover ..........
Then how much shall I expect to pay for such lens in...
Sorry for the late reply but I could not get access to Internet in the last two days. Thanks to all for the kind suggestions. I think I will get the Fuji 600 C. By the way, any suggestion for a 8x10...

I wonder if the Wisner Technical Field 4x5 and the Wisner Expedition 4x5 use the same bag bellows. Can you help me ?
Ciao Don,
I second the opinions of the people who have suggested you to remain in Sicily. As a matter of fact, this is one of the most beautiful regions in my country and two weeks are definitely...
Does anyone know what type of lensboard are these cameras taking ?
As an international purchaser I found B&H, Badger and Midwest to be excellent LF equipement resorces. Anyway, I must say that I prefer to deal with Jeff at Badger since he is a very knowlegble...
Just checked the Strand site. Well, it ios really amazing! Thanks to all of you for the suggestions !

I will spend few days in Ney York city late in April and, being an avid collector of photographic books (above all B&W large format photographers), I would like to have some suggestions regarding...
Another vote for the Wehman.

Your are getting flat negatives since the liquid inside the tank does not get enogh agitation. Note that these Jobo tanks have been conceived to be used with an automatic machine and the gratest...
David,
As Sal proprely indicated, the two black plastic pieces are designed to prevent the film from sliding during the rotation of the tank. My impression is that you really need them...
Thanks to all of you. I have received an offer for a bag bellows and i will answer privately to the offerer on next Monday. It remains anyway unanswered my main question:
"A Linhof style recessed...
Grazie (thanks) to all of you.
Luca
The 4x5 Wisner Technical Field is notoriously a non "user friendly camera" when using wide angles. Can the problem be overcome using an adapter for Linhof lens boards coupled with a recessed Linhof...
I would like to purchase something from Misa's Outdoor and Camera Store based in Colorado ? Anyone of this forum made any transaction or had any experience with them in the past ?
Ciao
Luca
I already own a G-Claron 150. Do you think I will get a great advantage (above all in the bellows draw) if I also order a Macro 120 Nikon. I have been also informed that you cam mount a 4T lens in...
Marc,
I tried to get one directly from Shen Hao China. They quoted it for me but they informed me they did not have any one in stock. They also said they would have contacted me when the...
Thanks Marko. The HZX57-IIAT has 610 mm bellows, is 1 kg heavier and more expensive than the other model. On top of that the focusing gear is different. The HZX57-IIAT has a focusing system similar...
Ciao and many thanks for the answers. The Fuji 450 was not bought for my 4x5 Shen Hao but for my Wehman 8x10. I am still wandering if the 480 mm bellow of the Shen Hao FCL-57-A is enogh for...
Richard,
Amund is really too modest ! Congratulations to Amund :o for the review and for his camera. I am an happy owner of a Shen Hao 4x5 (with 90, 135, 150, 200, 300 and 450 mm lens)...
Thanks to all of you. I think that a difference in weight of 0,5 - 1 kg is not so bad afterwards. Many people are only considering camera weights without thinking about lenses, film holders and...
Has any of you ever used this camera ? What are your opinions about using iit with a 4x5 reducing back ?
Ciao Jim and ciao Ken. Thanks for the advices. Jim you consider lucky to have purchased a 600 USD a Wisner. As far as I know they usually are fetching much higher prices on ebay. These high prices...
Grazie Marco (excellent site and very good pictures by the way .......) and thanks Struan for your kind answers. I now really start to think that Struan and the all the other people that kindly...
I was not thinking to bring the attention of so many people with my question and I wish to thank you all for the very kind advice. It seems to me that while view cameras are still holding their value...
Hey Ragazzi,
You have be doning a very good job. :) Some of the photos are really very good. When will we see some LF photos ? Please keep us updated.
Ciao
Luca
I own a 4x5 Shen Hao camera and I am satisfied with its performance in the field with the exception of its limited bellow draw that is limiting the usage of this camera when above all when using my...
Ciao Domenico,
If I show up in California I will definitely take you some Pecorino di Fossa (another super Italian cheese) from Solignano and your well deserved bottle (I would say fiasco) of...
Eric and wife are enrolled for our meeting in Luzzara (see my post). We owe them one since they live Colorado (fantastic !) and they got married in Firenze. Who else ?
