Have a look at a material called Translum, made by Savage. It's a translucent plastic, about twice as thick as a shower curtain. Easy to cut, cleanable. I really prefer it over paper.

OK,
I've just had the top off the camera again and confirmed that the rangefinder is unable to be calibrated. if I adjust it for infinity it is increasingly out at closer distances and vice versa....
Hi Mick,
Yeah, it's easy enough to remove the top and get access to both horizontal & vertical rangefinder adjustment screws. Only the horizontal one is reachable through the rubber cap. These...
Hi gentlemen,
Well, feeling pretty pleased with myself. Happened to have a round file of exactly the right diameter and filed a small amount out of the ends of those channels. Seems I took the exact...
Update: Attached picture shows the adjustment that Dean built into the front standard.
He seems to have glued the bellows on front and back, so I don't want to mess with that. And because of that it...
Hi Mick,
Thanks for your input.
I should have added the lens is a 150mm f5.6 Caltar II N (http://jafaphotography.com/affordable_largeformat_standard_lenses.htm).
Dean advised me to get a 150mm,...
Update 2:
I just processed the second sheet. It's a considerable improvement over the first but still not what you'd describe as crisp focus at 100m.

Hi again Bill,
I assumed true infinity was 'the norm'. All of my smaller format gear can focus to a more or less true infinity. And no, I'm not shooting stars but I think a crisp subject, wide open...
Hi Bill and thanks for your response,
I was just about to update when you replied.
Yes I can remove the screw and get the necessary extra movement to infinity but like I said, on mine this makes...
Hi all,
I unsuccessfully tried to sell my Razzle after having persistent rangefinder calibration issues.
I spoke to Dean some six months ago and to his eternal credit he offered to look into it.
I...
Jobo?
UPDATE.
I received some info & pics from Bryan which helped to identify how to remove the top cover and reveal the two adjustment screws.
The vertical alignment is OK.
The horizontal alignment is...
Corran, thanks. Will PM you.
Alex, likewise I hope he is OK.

Hi,
I'm going to be listing my Razzle 900 for sale shortly.
It needs the rangefinder to be re-calibrated. I emailed Dean seeking directions but haven't heard from him.
Is anyone familiar with...
Definitely try Drew's method first, you don't want to waste time, air or water with the other methods until you've tried it. And your wife will thank you for washing her pussy.
Yep, that was it gentlemen, thank you. I wonder why I can't remember manually resetting that before?
And I do remember the darkslide being a bit of a squeeze at times [emoji16]
Thanks,
Jon
Really sorry to post what might be something very simple but...
I've just cleaned, lubed & loaded 3 Grafmatic 4x5 film holders.
I've no used them for about 2 years.
After loading each in the...
So did you come to Oz? How was it? Where did you end up going?
Mine is obviously a later model as it doesn't have locking knobs on the fine focus. Wish it did though.
Agree, test and test again until you get it right.
+1 for the Super Angulon 121mm. Loads of room to move on 5x7. Tie the thing in a knot.
Not a small lens though, and mine's in a synchro compur (I think) which is a bit more finicky than a more...
No malware here since Frank was banned.
Hi Dan,
Let me know if you'll be in the Newcastle area and we can meet up. It's about 2 hours north of Sydney.
Good processing close to down town Sydney can be had at Vision Imagelab. Film can be...
Michael,
For what it's worth, I once saw a small reference to Richard Sullivan, of B+S, soaking a dried Pt/Pd print in a weak solution of Liquitex Acrylic gel medium.
"After 25 minutes in an...

Careful Otto, you start another interminable 'bring-back-Frank-thread'...

Problem solved, thanks Henry.

Hi,
I have done a search and PM'd a few people from the board but if anyone else has a copy of the manual for an ESECO Speedmaster model TRC60D densitometer I'd sure be grateful for a copy.
Many...
Sounds like the OP needs a Razzle....
Jon
Maybe mine is a 3006? Takes 4x5 & 5x7 - six sheets.
There is an app for iOS called Viewfinder that has similar functionality.
Jon
There is a previous and rather extensive thread on the subject in this forum.
I use Rollo Pyro. 500ml for a full tank of 6 sheets. I roll mine on a modified upturned skateboard. Pre soak is highly recommended. No problems here, my negs look snappy & clean every time.

No, not Frizza but I'm sworn to secrecy...
I had some cibas printed a few weeks ago here in Australia by the only printer I know who still does it. The remainder of the roll is mine, all mine bwa ha ha ha ha ha...
Jon
Joking right? There were heaps of pro photographers that covered the Boston bombings, you can see them running in right after the blast, and I think their images will stand the test of time better...
I'm not sure what you mean by 'part of its circumference'. It's adhesive backed flat sheet. I measured the 'walls' and the flat portion of the groove on my SINAR and cut strips to that width. Peeled...
My SINAR Norma had disintegrating black string in that groove when I bought it. I replaced it with this stuff and its easy to cut and use and works great.

I doubt it. We had a Federal Parliamentary inquiry into it a few months back. Adobe basically said they saw Australians as being able & willing to pay more and charged accordingly. Adobe then backed...
