I have the Chamonix 045N-2. I use a Nikon W 210mm 1:5.6.
Are there any drawbacks to a reflex viewer? I'm sure they're not as good as peering at the glass with a loupe, or is my assumption incorrect? I'm considering one and wanted some...
That adhesive was a mistake.
Hey, for very basic still life, and maybe some portrait work, what is recommend for under 5 bills? I see a lot of cheap kits on eBay... are they just garbage?
...
I just received a cover for the 045N-2 and was surprised to find a adhesive on the inside of the cover. It looks like it's meant to make the cover somewhat permanently affixed to the camera body. ...
A little manual would have been nice.
I have to second that. The levels are working perfectly on mine. I just received it yesterday. Really a fine instrument; well engineered and a bargain at the price in my opinion. If looks and...
It's arrived this morning; teak and black metal. Really a beautiful, and beautifully constructed camera.
Reciprocity failure with black and white requires longer exposure correct? how do you determine how much longer time is needed? Is bracketing the answer?
Can reciprocity failure be corrected adequately in post with PS?
10 essentials for shooting in NYC:
1. Starbucks coffee card.
2. A small but solid wrench for the creep who's been eyeballing your camera bag for the last thirty minutes.
3. Favorite tunes on...
How often do you dodge & burn, particularly in Photo-shop, and to what degree?
I'm reading an interesting article (during work :p) illustrating the use of D&B to adjust exposure in areas to...
I know how to orient with map and compass. All I need is my Silva, a good map, and a Rosary, and I'm good to go. ;)
Need to know true North from your part of the country though.
I'm like a kid waiting by the mailbox.
Trius- I'm waiting for mine too! It's sitting in NY as per EMS...

Earl-
Yes, definitely looking forward to more! Thanks so much for sharing the technical data; it's very appreciated. I always keep my eye out for what looks like masterful work, and try to learn...
In my opinion, I think for someone just trying this format out for the first time, it's probably a good idea to get your hands on an old Super Speed Graphic or any Graflex camera for that matter. ...
Hopefully this problem will be corrected in this next batch.
I think I agree Jay. It does have a very nice feel to it. It's just a nice image.
I've been looking at some wonderful work by a photographer on flickr. I'd like to post a link to one of his images and ask a few technical questions. I wasn't too sure if this were appropriate or...
I am on the list also. Teak with black metal.
I can't wait. It's really a beautiful camera.
Over priced in your opinion?
This looks like a nice one: http://ladewigs.com/Gallery/v/Mel_family/etc/RRR_20080328_04.jpg.html
I have to second this sentiment very strongly. Harley's work left me a bit speechless. Your Rocky mountain series is amazing.
Harley, if I may ask, which of those images were made with the...
Thanks for all the input thus far, really appreciate it. This camera sounds as good as it looks it seems.
So nothing out there at that price point worth considering against the 045N-2?
Get a good loupe first before anything else.
I'm looking for comments/observations from owners of the Chamonix 045N-2. Is there better at that price point?
Thanks in advance.
Justin- great image here. Love the train yards by the park. You can also grab some nice train shots by Citi Field. I have a Chamonix 045N-2 on order myself. Maybe we can meet up for an hour or so...
Very beautiful.
I was wondering the same thing as well. Maybe someone can explain the principle.
From Chamonix' website:
In my experience and from what I have learned from test results, it seems that lenses of different structure and lenses of different focal lengths will have different focus...
Where I get?
Can Groo and his little pals pass for pixies?
Super Speed Graphic and 135mm Optar lens.

The only Quickloads I can find are the Velvia. I think I'm just going to jump in feet first and buy 4x5 sheet and load my mint condition holders that are collecting dust.
What color film is most...
I'm using Fuji Quickloads Velvia 100F. Daylight 100 ISO. It's all I have. I try to correct the yellowness I get in Photoshop.
I've read that if the EV range differed by more than 5 stops between...
In a situation where the difference between the lightest portion of a scene and the darkest where you want detail is more than five stops apart (say eight), would you consider that scene to be too...
This is really, really interesting. Very nicely seen and created. Love it.
All cool shots. I nearly wreaked my cars suspension last year in that street in flushing, Queens.
Looking to shoot some LF in NYC area.. let me know. I'm looking for someone to shoot LF with...
This is beautiful.
I love the muted colors in these images. It really adds feeling and atmosphere to them; old and new.
