It works on my wisner Pocket Expedition.
I own a 4x5 Wisner Pocket Expedition that I puchased used (only 2 or 3 months old). I had to send it to Wisner to fix a problem and add an extra tripod socket (so I could have 2 and use a long...
A used Epson Perfection 2450 or 3200. I have no experience with medium format but as far as 4x5 the 2450 is outstanding for its price. The 3200 is supposed to be even better.
Mid April to end of May should be the best time.
I would also recommend an eMac or a G4 iMac, both have a G4 processor running at least at 700Mhz. Beside the processor (G4 versus G3) memory is the most critical element. I use 512MB and find it...
I also recently had 2 satisfying transactions with a Honk Kong outlet. First transaction was done via EBay, the second directly. The dealer was Anthony (ebay account: amhlee), products arrived as...
Yes, it was cold in the tent Friday night and Saturday morning (24 degrees at the Mono Lake shores) but Saturday was balmy, 10 degrees warmer. There's a warming trend now. Lundy Canyon and June Lake...
I have almost the same lens combo. The next logical step is a 300mm , then a 450mm. I have the Nikon-M 300mm/9 which I like a lot. It is quite small on a Copal #1 shutter and very sharp. I you want a...
I am 45, originaly from France but leaving in Northern California since 1983. I started 4x5 about two years ago.
I own a PE since last October. Altough it has a reputation of being a tough one to learn I found it quite simple to setup and close. I like its construction and finish. The main advantages of the...
I am using mine on a 4x5 for the last 18 months without such problem. And I am not particularly caring on it. I often use it to as a ground cloth to protect some equipment from mud or water. I like...
If you are inquiring about 'Large Format Nature Photography', yes I would recommend it. Easy to read, full of useful information about equipment and technique.
There's excellent reviews on the Epson 2450 flatbed scanner. It is supposed to be very good at scanning films up to 4x5. I finally decided to get one and am anxious to try it. At $320 shipped the...
I used to have the M305, the small (35mm) version of the M605. These are very well made enlargers and should answer your needs without problem.
Never needed to drop the bed when using my SA 90 on a Wista DX. Had to do it with the SA 65 however.
"THE BEST NEVER RESTS". This sounds like a contradiction to large format photography. Doesn't it?. I hope you have deep pockets because you will have to try of lot of different cameras in your...
In response to Michael I agree there's a certain risk about forgetting to tighten the knob but the risk of having the camera fall is greatly reduced when using a long plate (4" to 5"). Tightening...
I am using an LP-35 plate from Kirk Photo on my Wisner PE. It is 5" long and works great. Should fit your Ebony. I recommend you have 2 tripod sockets on your camera. It makes the long plate a lot...
I use both a 2 stop soft-edge and a 3 stop hard-edge. I wouldn't recommend one over the other as both are used extensively, each depending of the situation. I use the 3 stop hard-edge more often...
Try cleaning the heads several times. If it doen't work change the ink cartridge and try again. After that I only suggest having the printer serviced. Good luck.
Check the following website, they have bubble levels of various sizes and forms for very reasonable prices. Do a search for "levels" and check the Bulleyes and Vial Levels page....
I use the Photoflex unit as well. It works well for me. The only complaint I might have is that it is made of synthetic materials thus subject to internal condensation from sweating. Make sure to...
I agree with Josh, the 1325 or 1348 will be much better choices for general purpose LF photography. If you are planning to travel or backpack the 1228 or 1227 will probably work better as far as...
I am quite new to LF but now have a backpack that works well for my 35mm equipment as well as my 4x5. As many others I tried several backpacks. First started with a Tamrac which I found heavy in...
I just had a trip there (Zion, Bryce, Page, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon) in the last week of December. Altough I didn't take a lot of LF images (it was a family trip with kids) I know where I want to...
I agree he paid his dues to society, lets give him a break now. I don't know him personally but I guess he must feel quite dumb and sorry about what he did. I am sure he didn't intend to harm the...
I used to own one and just sold it to move to the Nikon t-360. The Tele-Xenar is very nice, not as sharp as the Nikon but still sharp. Mine had a Copal #3 shutter and sold at about $380 which was ...
The Wista DX handles 65mm lenses with its regular bellows. It's probably the shortest focal you can use on it though unless you have a recessed lens board.
You cannot fit a recessed board on the Wista DX or either adapt a bag bellows but I have used a 65mm without any problem on it. There's almost no movement possible but the lens doesn't have a...
I guess it all depends of what camera/lens system he will be travelling with. Personnally I like the Gitzo Carbon Fiber units. For travelling and backpacking I use the G1127 with a Giotto ball...
I have the G1349MKII which I use without center column. The MKII improvements seems to be in the center column which now has a groove. The MKII units also seem to have new leg locks. I have mine...
Randy, You will have a great time, I have been there twice. The first time is mid-May (attending a GAPW photo workshop), and the last summer camping with my family. May is a good time for wildlife....
First I would check the camera itself. If the camera is not rigid enough or not well positioned on top of the tripod a $1000 tripod won't improve your situation much. I have a Wista DX that came...
I like it too. It's a very welcomed book as LF photography books are quite rare now a days. I am sure this book will inspire some small format hobbists and enticed them to the LF world.
I second the recommendation for using a long AC base plate. My Wisner Pocket Expedition only had one tripod socket, Wisner just added a second one on request. When I was using the Wista DX this...
I also use the B1 and really think it's one of the best investment I have made. It seems that the locking problem applies to the older units and is not relevent to current models. I bought mine ...
The G1325 weights 4 1/2 lbs, the G1348 4 3/4 lbs. That's only 1/4 lb difference for 7" additional extension and 2" lenght reduction when closed.
I went Carbon Fiber a couple of months ago. My first choice was to go with the G1325 because of the 3 legs vs 4 legs issue. Then I realized that the G1325 was a bit shorter than my G340 it was ...
I second the Domke J1. Very spacious, rugged, weatherproof, and easy to access. Mine is loaded with 1 Wisner Pocket Expedition (4x5), 5 lenses on board with shutter release (Super-Angulon 65/5.6, ...
I have the Toyo 3.6x loupe (long barrel) and like it a lot. I used to have a 8x loupe, it was too strong to my taste. I like the long barrel so I don't have to stick my nose to the GG. I also like...
