Bug spray. For shooting night shots of the city from the river.
Welcome to the group, Rob. I am also getting back into LF after a 25 year break. However, I did work as a photographer before and was pretty experienced in film processing. Life, kids, and health...
There is a park on the East side of Colorado Springs called Palmer Park. Beautiful rock formations, hiking trails and a great spot for shooting Pike's Peak without the city in your view. Not nearly...
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Your information was very helpful. I said in the beginning that it may have been an obvious question, but it turns out that is wasn't quite as...
Thanks for the info! Very helpful!
This may be an obvious dumb question, but would 210mm lenses of different brands have the same view? As in could one build a twin lens 4x5 camera and use different makes of lenses for the viewing and...
Thanks. I was concentrating on merging the negs and missed the spots.
This is my first time sharing an image, though I've been following this forum for some time. This is one I shot some time ago, but just now figured out how to scan both halves of the negative with my...
Actually, I just checked out your link and it was very helpful. I did finally find the tabs for the back of the bellows. Chalk it up to my eroding eyesight and not knowing what to look for...

Thanks for the reply and info. I think I'll just have to remove the focusing rails and front standard parts from the old body. So removing the front of the bellows won't be necessary. The back of the...
I have a Crown Graphic with a damaged body, but the bellows and inner workings are in good shape. I found a Crown Graphic body only on eBay. Any tips on how to remove the bellows from the old body? I...
Jim, I just checked the club website. It meets next week, the 14th. I can probably make that. Where do you meet? What do people usually bring? Cameras, prints, digital images?
Oops! just clicked...
Small world, Jim. My wife is from Bosworth, just south of there. I had a chance to take the one hour photo manager job at the new Wal-Mart there, but company realignment happened before I could do...
Jim,
Thanks for the info. I have considered wooden knobs, but thought I'd try to locate brass ones first. BTW, Where in NW Missouri are you located? I'm in Kansas City, near the airport, and I'm...
Vaughn,
Yes, I would like the B&J knobs of they're still available. Did those cameras use rack and pinion focussing? I'd be interested in those, too. You can reply privately.
Thanks!
Dave
Thanks for the replies!
John, I tried Rockler and Woodcraft, but didn't think of Lee Valley. I'll look there.
Curtis, I bet I searched that site a dozen times and missed that page. Thanks!

I'm building a feild camera like the Tachihara, Winser, etc. I've located several sources for small (5/8 or smaller diameter) brass knurled nuts several places on the net. But I can't seem to find...
For a number of years I managed 1 Hour photolabs in several Wal-Marts around here. I spent my days printing on automatic processors, printing thousands of automatic pictures taken with automatic...
As the staff photographer for a theological seminary I shot large crowd shots all the time, especially at graduations. Nothing like trying to direct a group of just hooded doctoral students. Its...
I'll be 60 in November. Started with a Brownie Hawkeye at age 12. Moved "up" to a Kodak 126 Instamatic at 16. At 17 I got serious and got the wide angle and telephoto auxillary lenses (along with...
I'm getting a black version of the Calumet CC-401 with a badly damaged bellows. I've posted on the wanted forum looking for a black bellows someone might have but I got to thinking, could I dye or...
Mike, I didn't know about the town. I don't get out that way much, unless I'm going to Colorado.
Dave
Thanks, Vick!
Kansas City steakhouses have fallen upon hard times lately. My favorite, the Hereford House, has a couple of new locations, but the original on Main was my favorite for the...
Thanks for all the advice! I looked on the Cone site, Inkjet MAll, but I could only find CIS systems for the 2200. Do they not sell K7 inks in cartridges? The MIS Eboni inks do come in cartridges,...
Bruce,
Thanks for your reply and I don't take it as mean. This is what I want, honest advice. I guest I don't know enough yet to ask the right questions.
I'll check out the resources you...
Gem, any particular brands in mind? I'm not sure what you mean by pigmented inks.

I'm returning to large format photography after several years and just joined this forum. I no longer have a wet darkroom so I'll be printing in inkjet machines. I currently have an Epson 2200 I...
I just joined the forum and I'm just getting back into LF after several years. May I post an older portrait? Taken with a Calumet CC401, Caltar II E 210mm, Ektachrome 100.

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. Wayne, I just missed the local barbecue event a couple of weeks ago, but the grand daddy of all barbecue events is the American Royal this fall. Maybe then. ...
Hello Everyone,
I'm Dave Williams and I live in Kansas City, Missouri. I've been following this forum for a few weeks and finally got registered today. I love the photography and the wealth of...
Hi, David. I am just now joining the group, but I've been lurking a while and saw your post. I live in KC and would be glad to get together with you and do some shooting. I'm returing to LF after...
