  1. Re: Your 5 favorite large format COLOR photographers?

    I find it interesting how few have cited Joel Meyerowitz. He was THE guy around 1980 who was making color photography acceptable in the fine art (i.e. major non-photo gallery, MOMA) world. He was...

  4. Re: Where Can I get a Sinar P (older model) from?

    Raffay,

    Interesting what you say that Sinr no longer makes a film-based view camera. I guess you could put a roll back on the P3, but it seems like some sort of landmark that a company that was...
  5. Re: Where Can I get a Sinar P (older model) from?

    Raffay,

    You ask if the P2 is still in production. In theory - yes. It's still listed on the Sinar website (www.sinar.ch). Finding someone who stocks them is something else. There are dealers...

    Re: Sinar F2 extension

    I agree with Rick concerning the extension. Depending on how close you intend to work, a 6" extension may be enough, but there are far more 12" extensions available out there. Also, whether you...

    Re: newbie, extension rail Sinar P

    You are correct. The standard p2 8X10 comes with a 12" rail (which I never understood). Sinar made 12", 6" and 18" extensions in chrome or black. There is no diffrence in function, just appearance.

  10. Re: Difference Between Sinar F1, F2 - Finally found a definitive answer - FYI

    The difference between the f and f+ was that the origial f had a "low profile" rail clamp that had a lever that locked the rail. The f+ had, instead, the same rail clamp as the p.

    Re: Caltar II 90mm

    I own the Caltar II N f/6.8 and it is a superb lens. Multi coated in an up-to date Copal 0 shutter. There is no way you can go wrong with this lens except if the specimen you buy was abused somehow.
  17. Re: Sinar F: How to make fine adjustments to height + focus ?

    I would just add to Drew's comment that there was a special fron standard for the "F" series that was fitted to the 8x10 and 5X7 (yes, there was actually a 5X7 F2 offered). I only used an 8X10 F2...

    Re: Sinar F 5x4 to 8x10?

    The Sinar system is modular - meaning almost all parts fit all models. There are some exceptions, but in answer to your question, yes, you can change a 4X5 f to an 8X10.

    There are two options:...

    An X is supposed to be a less expensive aternative to the P. The standard bearers are the same, but there is theoretically no ability to interchange format frames on the rear standard bearer.
