Bob is right, it doesn't work that way. If it did, a Linhof Technika would have about a third as many parts as a Honda Civic (it costs about a third as much) or the car would have only about a few...
Actually, the JPY has fallen from about 101 to the dollar in Feb. 2000 to about 126 today, almost 25%. It is unlikely you will see prices fall though, as this is a profit making opportunity....
Josh:
Agree with you 100% about Fuji Frontier prints and their unnatural appearance. What keeps me going back for more is the superior masking and exposure/color control, though.
The...
Since its being distributed by Mamiya/Sekonic in the U.S. you can bet your boots it will be sold at a high markup in the U.S. market.

Check out http://www.odyssey-sales.com/ for the Devere 507.
The Durst L138 is supposed to be of similar quality... Look at http://www.photomall.com/gedurst.htm
I see an Arca-Swiss 4x5 Compact goes for the equivalent of about US$ 2000 plus shipping at www.robertwhite.co.uk these days.
I'm only a long-term prospective, not actual, user of large format but...
Kerry & everyone-many thanks for the quick feedback. That info about no movements steers me away... The slightly heavier model seems very versatile, and a good price too, for what it is...
Does anyone have any experience or information on the Toho 45 Mini, a $1000 view camera weighing under two pounds in the Toho line?
I'm looking for a simple, lightweight 4x5 do individual...
Nick: I recall the exhibition notes mentioning that he did his work on 4x5. But that might have applied just to that show, of course, and I cannot say if he has used 8x10 previously or since, of...
I saw one of his exhibitions in London about two years ago. His style may have evolved, but as you say, the pictures are not to everyone's taste (though perhaps more because of their blandness than...
A friend who successfully captured St. Nick on film (though sadly, not processed archivally, and hence now lost) says that the only way to get him on film is by using a camera he brings you...

There is only one slide projector at present that will do this, the very expensive Noblux 4x5.

Take out all carpeting in your darkroom if by chance you have any.
Learn to vacuum and then wet mop all surfaces, at least twice a week.
If you have active ventilation (i.e. an extractor fan)...
One occasionally hears disparaging remarks about Western Landscape photographers following "St. Ansel's tripod holes".
It is delightful, then, to see that Ansel Adams himself excitedly followed...
Sure sounds awful, Bruce, and not particularly innocent...
As for access, I stand by my point. Even if you have a policy of no- trace, given enough time, there will be some proportion of Michael ...
Bruce: In response to your dissection (ouch!) I should say
1. I don't know Michael Fatali from Adam, aside from what little I've read. I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he seems to have...
Well, I'm really glad I took photographs while I was at Delicate Arch!
Yes, there will be more restrictions, because this incident shows that the more people who have access to wilderness, the...
I saw a near identical (maybe one lens was different) kit auctioned on Ebay for US$ 3700 about 5 months ago. $7000 used seems VERY high.
I'm considering doing a project of casual/environmental (non studio) portraiture using a LF camera, principally for the ability to get high resolution, larger f ormat enlargements; the portraits will...
Noblex make a 4x5 projector. You may wish to check Http://www.cameras-scanners-flaar.org/html/Noble_4x5_slide_projector.html and related links.
I have read that movie sets use back projection of...
