    Re: Ruins

    Very cool, Joe. I spend some time with LF in the Pinelands. Any idea how to stabilize a tripod on a sphagnum moss bog?
  2. Re: Affordable less desirable alternative to Aero Ektar, does it exist?

    I'm very new at this so I may be missing somethig. When I run the DOF #s on my 15" Wollensak 5.6 I have HALF the DOF of a 7" Aero both focused at 20 ft. I realize it's a bit of an apples/oranges...

    Re: Crown Graphic advice

    You should post a good photo of the back of your camera so we can see exactly what is missing. I assume it's the entire back; focus panel, frame, everything. You need to buy a back and you have...
  4. Re: Advice on auction site purchase please! (Graflex)

    Thanks j.e. I've tried to track down the contact info and the best I've found is a phone#. I work in a cabinet shop so cobbling together the equivalent should not be too hard. I bet I have a chunk...

  6. Re: How musk risk / danger have you taken for a photograph or access to shoot?

    A digisnap of me at Bellows Falls this summer. First outing with a Crown Graphic. That's about the steepest rockface I will scramble around on with a 4x5 and tripod in one hand.

    Re: Post your wacky lens ads, auctions, sales!

    Wish that was $50 instead of $300. I would buy that in a hot minute. You could epoxy a glass beaker inside and drink you coffee from classic Voigtlander glass every morning.

    Re: POLAROID 4x5 Conversion !! A new project !!

    This is not a good idea. Please do a long and thorough search regarding patents on 4x5 Polaroid conversions. I'm sure you will find lots of interesting information on photo board archives.

    Re: Prime slr lens on a crown graphic??!

    Won't it be almost impossible to stop down a DSLR lens on 4x5 as the aperture is controlled by a linkage on the mount?
  10. Re: Question about Format Markings on Ground Glass

    I would never pre-mark a GG without the camera and back in hand. I've marked off a few with a drafting pencil by opening the back and using the mask as a template. Sometimes you find that the...

    Re: Epson Film holders How to make my own .

    Bob-might be easier to put the film holder on the platen and scan the entire platen as reflective. Pretend its a document. Instant image file that would provide the perfect template for the DIY...

    Re: Ross No.10 WA Symmetrical 16 in.

    Thanks! The separation is VERY mild. As for the value, I paid very little. It just looks too cool to be a paperweight, so I'm hoping to get some use out of it or pass it along to someone who will.
