    Re: Seeking Advice for 4x5 Handheld Camera

    @ OP, I looked into doing this a few years back, and found lots of good advice on this forum. I tried 2 (almost 3) of the suggestions you've already been provided with above. My experiences were as...
  2. Re: Head and shoulders portraits with TRF Graphics

    Umm, yep. All pretty convincing arguments.

    And now that i think of it, these factors were still relevant when I was working as a newspaper stringer in the late 1990s. And that was cropping...
  3. Re: FS: 4X5 TRF Crown Grafic with 150 Fjuinon W, $550 delivered USA

    Well, you never know, I could end up switching back to Graflex myself one day. But the main problem for me with the Crown was that I couldnt easily switch between lenses mid-shoot (would have to...
  4. Re: FS: 4X5 TRF Crown Grafic with 150 Fjuinon W, $550 delivered USA

    Ah, ok, makes more sense now.

    And that thread was very interesting. Doesnt make any difference as you've sold the camera now anyway, but might have sold it even quicker if you'd linked that in the...

    Yeah, even if true, this just further convinces me that I should always try to avoid as many xray scans as possible as, if the damage is accumalitive (as evidence suggests), then a couple of extra...

    This has not been my experience. Amsterdam totally happy to hand inspect when I've been through. Frankfurt too. Italian airports are always a battle, and usually one I've lost in the end, but not...

    Re: SFO near-horror story

    I flew through SFO last week with 15 boxes of 4x5 Portra. There are notices everywhere saying something like "our x-ray scanners are film-safe up to 800 iso, but if you want your film inspected by...

    Surely that's against ebays rules?


    Or perhaps you meant "trawled"?

    Re: Yodobashi Camera in Japan

    yeah, I just checked their prices, and they charge ¥2,000 (about $20) more than Yodobashi, BIC etc. charge for a box 4x5 Fuji NS. At that price I'll be better off asking friends in Japan to go buy me...

    Re: Yodobashi Camera in Japan

    Thats a shame, as I've always purchased from Yodobashi when I've been in Japan and could really do with ordering quite a few boxes of 4x5 Fuji 160 NS from somewhere affordable. Anyone know of a...
  14. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Thanks Corran and Bob. Not made any decision yet so the info is useful.
  15. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Thanks, model noted. Will keep looking.

    Yeah, I very much doubt there's any real demand for these new now. But I also would have imagined that the lack of demand would mean there'd be plenty of...

    Thanks, that's very...
  17. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Thanks. The brace sounds more practical. But thinking about the weight that's in my camera case already I'd probably go for the 500mm over the 600mm in the end anyway tbh

    Btw, I seem to remember...
  18. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Ah yes, the manual. Ooops :o

    Anyway, thats good news. As a 500 is quite a long lens.

    Thanks for explaining about the Nikkor sets. It actually suits me better that I wouldnt have to pay for 3...
  19. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Thanks but I really hate cropping.

    Though that's more because it totally changes composition than because of the loss of resolution (though that too).
  20. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Hey thanks,

    I dont actually know what FFD I have on my camera (and google doesnt seem to know either). Do you think the 500mm combination might work on a Tech V?

    I'd come to the conclusion...
  21. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.

    Though its always possible that 40 feet was already with the back extended.

    Either way though, that Fujinon 450c costs way more than I paid for any of the...
  22. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Thanks again.

    I'm on the other side of the world right now so phoning sounds like a slightly costly option. But really, thanks for the offer.

    I also found this suggestion:

    I found this elsewhere on LF:

  24. Re: Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    Thanks Bob, very helpful.

    Probably wouldnt be worth my while bothering to buy another lens just to get 60mm more than the 300 I already have, but a 400 would be good if I can find the Nikon you...
  25. Longest focal length w/ Linhof Tech V without need for special bellows?

    I'd like to get a really long lens to use with my Tech V 4x5. But I don't want to be messing around with changing anything on the camera itself. I think I read somewhere that the longest lens that...

  27. Re: How do you change the angle of the Linhof anatomical grip??

    In the end I risked forcing the screw and was lucky enough to get it to move before it became totally impossible to get any grip with a screwdriver (but I was really living dangerously, if it...
  28. Re: How do you change the angle of the Linhof anatomical grip??

    Yep, those screws. I think they are actually two ends of the same screw.

    Will need two screwdrivers I guess, one on each side. This was one thing I actually had Linhof repair, as one screw was so...

    Quite normal in this part of the world, I assure you ;)

    Thanks again!

    I think there actually was a similar information sheet sent back with my camera...




    ...unfortunately I don't speak German :(
  31. Re: Linhof Tech V: Syncing modern flash via right-side flashmount?

    100% correct. That's why I'm on here.

    The Linhof delaer in this part of the world doesnt even bother replying to email, hence why I sent it to Munich.

  34. Re: Linhof Tech V: Syncing modern flash via right-side flashmount?

    This sounds like a promising lead. Too late here now to look at it, but will investigate tomorrow. Thanks a lot.
  35. Re: Linhof Tech V: Syncing modern flash via right-side flashmount?

    They do.

    And even if they didnt, one would assume that a technician installing infinity stops would have noticed this and have brought it to my attention.
  36. Re: Linhof Tech V: Syncing modern flash via right-side flashmount?

    From your description of the calibration process, it seems clear that if the lens is damaged or faulty in some way, this could have only occurred post-calibration.
  37. Re: Linhof Tech V: Syncing modern flash via right-side flashmount?

    Hi Bob, thanks for your continuing help.

    Actually I think I did specifically mention Linhof Munich at some point, but my apologies if not. The camera was given a total service, 2 lenses cammed,...
  38. Re: Linhof Tech V: Syncing modern flash via right-side flashmount?

    Hello again.

    yes, I guess it's possible that the front and back of the lens do not match, as I've never used this lens before (but I bought it in Japan, where in general I find dealers to be...
