I use this for 4x5 when my gitzo 3531 isn't tall enough:

It is carbon fiber, and goes up to 100". I paid about $500, and have been very happy...

I saw this announcement and thought it might be of interest...for the right person it looks like a great opportunity:

The problem is that Nikon has been inconsistent.
On the one hand they told me they were "out of the scanner business" at PMA, and I've been on lists at major retailers for the 9000 for many...
Hey again Van,
After your post I wrote to Nikon and they got back almost immediately. They said it actually still IS in production...just not on any shelves. Seems contradictory, but good news none...
Hi Van, Like I said, this was what I was told by Nikon at PMA. I even pointed to the scanners they had on display, and they said they were 'empty shells'. I can't provide a link because that is not...
To echo Phil...we are using the X5 and it beats our Nikon scanners across the board...but it costs significantly more. If you are doing high volume it pays for itself fairly quickly because the scan...
Nikon is out of the scanner business, so if you go the Nikon route you'll probably be stuck with a used machine -- and the lack of support that comes with it.
The folks at the Nikon booth at this...
"...they should sell a Nikon 9000-class scanner for $500, which is a quarter or a fifth of what a 9000 costs now."
At PMA the folks at the Nikon booth told me they are "out of the scanner business...
I'm with Hollis on this one. My experience has been that photographing people with large format puts people at ease -- which is one the main reasons I use it. I like the fact that everything slows...
The basic version should have come with the scanner...you might ask the person you bought it from if they still have it.
The image quality of the 1800f was decent for the price, but if the scanner you are buying was used in a studio or production environment I'd steer clear of it. The internal components aren't built...
The prints at the fuji booth were exceptionally well done compared to most of the over-enlarged stuff found elsewhere at PMA! It was the only booth that my companion and I stopped to look at...
Just curious... Was he doing portraits on the balcony, or crowd shots from above?
These posts are reassuring. For my purposes I'm mostly looking for a more 'comfortable' way of working than I currently have, and making a switch from metal to wood seems like a good first step. If I...
Wow, that'll teach me to go to sleep! :) Many thanks for all the thoughtful, fast responses!
IanG -- Same for me. I've only been working in this kind of heat recently, but it didn't take much...
I have what I hope is a fairly simple question.
I've been using a Toyo 45AX in the desert -- with temperatures sometimes reaching beyond 110. Just being outside is tough, but the metal field...
