Joel,
What you need to find is an old luggage repair place. I took my camera to one and the woman there wasn't even fazed. I don't know how she did it, but for about 30 bucks she installed a new...
I don't see any reason not to have it a Photo.net if it's free and it works, which it probably will. If not, I hereby pledge 50$ for the next year's service. Please don't go with advertising if you...
Linas,
My 1907 Bausch and Lomb Catalog says the "Bausch & Lomb-Zeiss Series V Extreme Wide-Angle f-18" lens in the 8x10 size has a 7 and 3/16 inch focal length. The lens has a 9/16 inch diameter...
Clark,
Just fyi in case you do not already know this, you can make your own black and white contact prints at home with ease. All you need is a sort of dark room, a few plastic trays, a sheet of...
Hi Richard,
I got in to 8x10 the same way you have, and boy did I make a lot of mistakes. The one thing to keep in mind is this: 8x10 film is very expensive, and the time spent on each shot, from...
Doug,
On one of my 8x10 lenses I kept getting vignetting and could never figure out why, because I was judiciously looking through the (cut) ground glass corners before every shot. Then I figured...
The 9.5 inch will offer modest room for movement. Some have said there is a slight focus shift from 6.8 to 22. Contrast is good for a classic lens as there are only four air-glass surfaces, and...
Hmm, what's the matter with the D5500? I have one and like it, but I have no experience with other 4x5 enlargers, except worse ones. I find it very easy to use and have no complaints.
Well, Gary's comments about putting the 90 mm on the hinge on the focal plane shutter models was gnawing at me, as a little wisp of a memory of maybe having to do that after all started to come back,...
Hi Gary,
Ah, the light bulb finally went on. Yes, if your camera lets you switch the back into portrait mode, that would likely make a big difference. I never thought about that - those Super...
Okay, that makes one more person who says you get the bed in the image with a 90 mm lens focused on infinity on a speed graphic. No matter what I do, I cannot get my lens to do this on either my...
It completely mystifies me why, when this question comes up, as it does from time to time, people always say you need to drop the bed with speed graphic and a 90 mm lens. I can't figure out why...
"Don't you already have two 8x10 cameras?"
I was shooting pictures of Seattle's Kingdome before they blew it up and while I was waiting for a cloud to pass an extremely intoxicated homeless man staggered up and wanted to look at the...
Merklinger's book, which I read and enjoyed (his other one, "Ins and Outs of Focus" is even better), would be totally unnecessary if it weren't for the fact that EVERY other large format book that...
Tony, I know what you mean, but the awful truth is that you do not know photomasochism until you have built your very own 4x17 pinhole camera that uses what you think might be some kind of X-Ray film...
Here is a copy of correspondence I had with Schneider on this subject. Start at the bottom for the first message, from me to Schneider. The top message is the last. The short answer is that...
Wayne,
I had one of these once and got rid of it, and I'm sorry I did. If I remember it didn't offer much in the way of movements but it was really quite sharp and still pretty okay on the edges,...
Ian,
I used to have this lens and I made a few 8x10 exposures with it. You could get an image all the way to the corners of an 8x10 plate if focussed at infinity, but the image was really bad out...
Hi Mike,
You might go here for a few boxes anyway:

I'm not affiliated with the seller, just found it while surfing around.
Matt,
I go back and forth a lot between Pentax 6x7 and my 8x10. Every time I get a good shot with the P67 I take a look at the print and think, "you know, that's a good picture, but it's too...
Ah, hmm, yes, very good. I did go to his site, but he has no link from www.thalmann.com to his lens page. It looks as if the answer to my question is shrouded in black mystery, however. Oh well. ...
Hello,
Anybody know the difference between these two f5.6 lenses? I can't find anythin g on the web except an indication that the cw is "newer."
Erik
Adrian,
Hmm, those are odd light leaks, such confined lines. I am assuming they are not contrails . .
Lensboards can indeed cause light leaks. I have to tape up my deardorff boards each time....
John,
You can save yourself an awful lot of money by using paper negatives, at least to start. I'm not sure there is any single weight paper available in that size (it would be worth calling...
John,
I think you are pretty much stuck with the f18 protars (hmm, did they make an f18 protar wider than 90 mm? Maybe not) and the, um, hmm, well, non-Schneider? Was there a goerz wide-angle...
Hi Matthew,
This is actually one of those experiments anyone can do at home and quickly disprove the conventional wisdom, which is that image circle gets larger with a smaller aperture.
What...
As a card-carrying TMAX-hating, readyload-eschewing, film-tent-owning photographer, it pains me to say this, but wouldn't the readyloads make a whole lot more sense? Sea-kayaking and camping =...
It sounds like it's worth a sheet of film to run the experiment: pull the holder out of your fridge, go outside, pull the darkslide, and take a look.
Steve,
I shoot 5x7 once in awhile, but I go the other way, with a reducing back on my 8x10. Or pinhole box camera. And I don't shoot color. However, I found this on...
Hey, I did a google search and found the BW printing section mentioned above, (it's at http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=B%26W%20Photo%20-%20Printing%2 0%26%20Finishing ) and it looks...
Ed,
I have a crown graphic in front of me. Not only that, I also have one of those dial angle finders carpenters use. I am going to do an experiment with my camera and the dial gauge. First, I...
Hi Dan,
My primary 4x5 camera is a crown graphic. I use the 8x10 more these days, but have used the crown quite a bit. I shot a 65 super angulon on it many times. It is very difficult to focus...
David,
I've only played around with a Holga a little bit. You can get them at www.freestylesalesco.com. They use 120 film and cost about 30$ US.
There are several sites on the web devoted to...
Daniel,
Yes, it is in fact not possible to make a large format photograph with a traditional lens shade. You must use a compendium shade. To get one, simply send a whole lot of money to...
I prescribe a 4x10 pinhole camera that has to be taken apart to be loaded, five sheets of film, and a 7 day backcountry trip.
"This is both a contractural *and* copyright issue, and copyright is the much bigger club to swing. When someone agrees to terms in order to use your image, failure to live up to those terms is...
It sounds to me like a contracts claim, not a copyright claim, and thus would not be in federal court. My advice is to bluff. Why not find an attorney who will draft a letter demanding payment and...
