For 4x5 it would be good to be able to adjust each individual axis independently. I also vote for geared heads.

I buy from Lexjet Canada which ships out of Guelph Ontario. 8300-8400 same ink. I now live in NB Maritimes.
I always bought singles which were more $.
Maybe we can find out who Lexjet buys from?
I had an authorized Sinar Repair done through Vistek a few years back. I packed it up and locked it down in an Expert Sinar made case.
The repair came back with the camera loose in the case. Ground...
Used Betterlight scan backs come up for sale from time to time. I know of one here in Victoria. I can pass on contact information if you want.
On the BL forum we talk about lighting for capturing...
I have a question,
I know horseman boards fit my Sinar, but do Sinar boards work on the Horseman?
I second the Wacom and the healing brush. Shortcut J. The content aware brush is much improved in CS6 and CC
I have tried DXO & On one's Perfect Photo suite as well but I much prefer the way that Capture One develops files from raw.
Capture One Pro started to offer subscription [also available for purchase] when version 8 was released September 16th. version 7 was released October 25 2012 almost 2 years later. I bought version 4...
At this point I prefer owning the licence for PSCS. At some point I may start with CC.
BTW, Capture One Pro [CO8] is my go to software for 90% of my needs and then I finish up in PS. Also CO8 is...
You can find an F2 accessory standard , remove the 4x5 part and fix a wooden 1/2 circle padded cradle to it.. It now will support the weight and you can raise shift and tilt it.
The opposite can happen. Folks can try to take advantage of a newbie, and offer less than affair price.
We need to be candid on what a sample is worth. At least a low to high value.
Yeah I plan too. That is why I own my software.
Randy,
It's not so much that I will need to upgrade machines, it is that I will have to when they say I have to.
At least with the older model I can wait until I am ready!!!!!!!
The main problem with subscription based software is that at some point an update will force an OS upgrade. If that is not feasible on an older machine then it forces one to buy a new machine.
I use...

Note: I did not refocus between shots. As I shot each I first made a preview with a small wallet sized Color checker. You may notice that some of the flowers have moved, This is because...
The 200 mm H5.8 is sitting nicely in an older Compur #3 which used to house a Convertible 300mm Sironar. I moved the 300 Convertible Sironar into a Sinar DB board [Copal style with manual red button...
The Rencay 8K is very much comparable to Betterlights Super 8K. One is really not any different. Except the Rencay is 10 K more expensive. The Super Fine Art Rencay is 40 K.
The Betterlight is...
You can still buy CS6 although Adobe does not make it easy. You have to do it over the phone. I am not a fan of light Room. What are you trying to do. Scan film / Raw capture ?
It is actually quite easy to make your own ink. I used to make my own with Pizography and Quad Tone Rip in the past. Building ink sets is relatively easy. Black ink is available commercially. With...
Then use the right inks designed to block UV
UV Blocking Inks for Screen Printing and for digital film negative units
True Black and White Rip, From BowHaus, is primarily Canon iPF series of printers and Mac.
It can control each channel, use only the 4 blacks or incorporate colour as well.
You can also make...
After using Epson for nearly 15 years, I had an opportunity to switch to Canon. But I do have a pigmented iPF8300.
After talking to the Head of Sales Canon in Canada I am convinced that the Canon...
I think that the rounder aperture would be better with soft focus and out of focus highlights. If one were to be using a sharp lens for copying artwork it should not affect the image as much.
I did not realize that Copal Shutters had more than 7 blades. Yours must be an older version.
I just purchased a Compur #3 with a Symar 240 but the threads are the wrong size in the front to accept...
Which Shutter is your Imagon mounted in?
For those that like using the iris in a shutter with the Imagon
Would you prefer the more rounded 10 bladed aperture of the Compur, the less rounded 7 bladed aperture with flatter sides of the...
Well I had my rant.
Yes useful.
Ilike the fact that I can test without consumables.
What about a horseman behind the lens filter holder? Fits 4 inch gels. polyester etc.
I have one

It depends what you are enlarging and to what degree.
A few years ago I had to enlarge 8X10 negs to 11x14and 16X20. I used a G Claron 305mm and guess what. My enlargements were very well...
A few days ago my Large Format Digital Scan Back was accepted and guess what. Everyone was ignorant. Everyone thought YUP it is the only large format digital.
There is no such thing it turns out.
I...
Actually most scanners have sensors smaller than 4 inches. It is only the lenses that allow them to scan LF Film. For that matter I use the Betterlight to scan LF Film.
Even Drum scanners have very...
Including this one pure hypocrisy
Interesting article: "36 Megapixels vs 6×7 Velvia" and 4 x 5
Yes make better images.
I can take solace in that the Betterlight does make better images.
So do take off ALL posts...
These are not LF digital backs so please remove from the forum
Not turmoil,
Just leaving a family that I loved.
And 4X5
Remove this from the forum
It is wrong to leave this. The add on 4x5 is bogus
Please Remove this from the forum.
I did not use LF to compare.
Please remove every post that I have ever made.
Like Frank Petrono I am gone.
I will use my Large format Scan Back and make better images. Elswwere
I agree with Bob, and if you don't then maybe you need to go through all of the posts from the beginning and move all the [Not quite LF posts and threads] somewhere else...
BIG JOB I would think!...
