I suppose I must have been usin' Arista nigh on 20 years, now. That cain't be right. Anyhoo, it comes in a box and a bag. Never had any trouble with either of the three.

The images created by an eclipse can be way more interesting than the eclipse itself.

Okuhara (6-1/2 x 8-1/2) from Yamanashi-ken, Japan. Included book-style plate holders with metal film inserts. Added ability to use Graflex lens boards.
I haven't read but a few of the replies here, but for almost twenty years now I've been making my own focus screens using Armour Etch. It chemically etches the glass to a matte finish. Like all...

Here's a Pathe with a similar arrow. (fourth picture).
There's a couple of these on eBay today.

Have you ever looked at one of these? I have not.
I believe that to be a projection lens. Arrow to the light source. You might wait to have someone else verify that true or false.
Some scratches were caused from film holders (circa 1910) having imperfect paint in the film inserts. Then there were scratches caused by brand spanking new plastic developing trays. So I now have...
I also cut the film on a guillotine cutter. I have several to do that job, one big and one small. I end up cutting the 8x10 fuji x-ray film for a full plate, half plate, and occasionally a 5 x 7...
Oh yes, I am very aware. I'm really glad to see that the process caught on. That must've been 10 years ago now. Awesome!
Here's a thought, you might consider removing the backside emulsion after the film has been exposed and developed. Just remember what side was the backside. The emulsion will help protect the back of...
Sure enough, I dug the Horseman roll film holder from the old trunk. It's a 6x9. I would not have known that if we didn't have this discussion.
An interesting piece of hardware . . .

I've been using a Manfrotto 3011 with a newer INNOREL F60 fluid video head. It supports a very large video outfit, up to a full-plate Okuhara. I've been tempted a number of times to buy another just...
My trick for that was to lay the outer material flat on a table. Then draw the outline of the form with a sharpie on the material. I sprayed the cloth/ribs on one side of the form, and then sprayed...
I stand corrected. I personally don't use roll film, as I develop each sheet individually . . . and I'm cheap. ;-)
Looks like it turned out good. 5x7 or 8x10?
I went with 1" ribs, plus a 1/8" gap between. Next time I'll shoot for 3/4" ribs.
Ooops! Sorry for the delay . . .
As mentioned by Oren, 2.25x3.25 (6x9cm) for Film Holders. But, if you're more interested in 120 roll film, then the manual states 6x7cm. I believe that goes for...
Not quite what I had planned for, but it'll work until version 2 comes out. The vinyl covering I had chosen was just a little bit on the thick side. And then I discovered it wasn't light tight. To...

I now see your dilemma. You need a 4x5 Press camera with the ability to shoot 120 or 4x5 sheet film? Until you can get yourself a 4x5 enlarger, you can contact print your those 4x5 negatives. See how...
I think you may be jumping to conclusions without the experience under your belt. Once you have "put in the time" working with a couple of the available formats (some examples: 6x9, 2.25x3.25,...
For what it may be worth (my two pesetas) I would recommend a 4x5 folder (non-monorail) and you'll be in like Flynn. Learning how to use eBay (private sellers), and watching like a hawk for under...
"Rear Focus" can be found on many view cameras from the past. A very handy feature to have. The minimum focus distance will probably depend on if the bellows will collapse enough.

Wow! Ten years went by fast. I completely fergot about this thread.
Gossen Luna-Pro Digital F. I use two of them. They appear accurate, use a single AA battery, big visible numbers, and come with a handy carrying pouch. Having come from using the old analog Luna Pro...
Here's a link to a copy of Studio Light (1911) on Google Books, where it gives details of the project. The article is titled "Larger than Life". It also has a sketch of the camera.

For testing purposes I would replicate the same conditions . . . sun angle, camera orientation, etc; Cover the back of the camera with a dark cloth before pulling the dark side out, and the problem...
Never encountered any customs fees. From about 2005 to as recent as last week. Their putting it on my tab. ;-)
Congrats on the camera find. There is lots of potential there. I ended up taking the full plate route. Ebay, direct from Japan. I looked for a 5x7 but could never find one. Having to cut my own film...
The lightest 8x10 that I once owned was the E. & H.T. Anthony Champion (Variation No. 3), weighing a mere 4 lbs. 6 oz. (without the lens). I really miss that camera. :-(

Consider something new. How about the "Fine Art of Contact Prints" from your negatives. You may see your negatives in a different light.
I just received an Eastman View No. 2, an eBay purchase ($100), the other day. Not at all what I was expecting, though. I believe it comes from the same bloodline as the 2D. I'm sure this No. 2 will...
