Thanks eddie

Thanks Bob. I checked mapquest and they are only 12 miles from my job.

I use a Yankee 4x5 tank and I got some spots (airbells) at first so now I presoak the film with a little photo flo. Now I get spots only once in awhile. When I shoot something that I think is...

TSI Photographic in Mamaroneck, NY is no longer in business as far as I can tell. Does anyone know of a lab in the Hudson Valley that processes sheet film?

Dan,
You are exactly right, I forgot about the thickness of the film pack itself. I'll look for one so I can measure the thickness of the front edge of it.

Hi lomomagix,
All I had to do is remove the darkslide and then I cut a ground glass that would fit inside the film pack adapter where the sheet of film would normally have gone. I used some black...

Jim,
The camera is gorgeous. Did you make the bellows yourself?

I have a 2x3 mini speedgraphic that was manufactured pre-Graflok. Mine has a "Graflex" back. The E. Suydam Company made 120 roll film holders for this type of back and I found one on that popular...

Thanks for the info Vinny. I'm using it on 4x5 and with a 6x9 roll film holder.

I recently purchased a 215mm Ilex-Calumet Series-S Caltar and needed a way to attach filters without taping anything to the lens. I guess I got lucky. I found a slide on 63.5mm series VIII adapter...

"If I didn't have an eye for beauty, how could I justify my being with you?"
lol

Haven't named her yet, but I get yelled at by my wife when I sleep with it.

I took the original hand strap off my Speed Graphic because it was falling apart. I replaced it with a black leather dog collar. Very cheap , but sturdy as heck. Although I never shoot hand holding...

This thread got me thinking so I took a fresnel and ground glass from a Polaroid MP-4 and put it on my Speed Graphic and took a 1 degree spot meter reading. I used a light bulb as my light source. ...

Thanks again Dan.

Thanks for the info Dan.

Does anyone know anthing about this lens? I got it for free with a camera I purchased. It's marked "Taylor, Taylor and Hobson" and then it says "Cooke-Kodak Anastigmat". It's focal length isn't...

I was experimenting with enlarger lenses recently to see if I could do some macro shots with a Speed Graphic and to save the costs and time involved with developing film this is what I did.... I took...

John,
The problem you are having with the motor running into resistance and smelling like it is burning may be due to incorrect counterspring tension in the lower cross tube. You can download a...
