You should look into one of the larger Harrison changing tents. I lowed up to 12 holders in there at one time with no problems.

I had a specially made SLW with an extra 100mm of bellows (to accommodate a 450mm lens). I had no problem with using my Nikon 150mm lens with it and movements were pretty easy. If you like using...
In the 4th photo, there is a hole drilled just outside of the handle for the hasp of a small TSA lock.
I the place is a foam shop, tell them that you want open cell gray foam for a camera case and they will know what you are talking about. I had mine custom cut for the lenses. You will need to let...
I do. I find that it makes a huge difference in time of changing lenses.
I forgot to include advice as to which month would be better for scenery and access. Thanks.
I have about 10 days available to me in either September or October and would like some ideas of locations in Switzerland. I am mainly interested in mountain landscapes. I will be on my own but...
This one is a 4 x 10 of Multnomah Falls in Oregon. I was waiting on the lower lookout for several minutes for the throngs of people to move off the bridge up above with no luck. An older gentleman...
Great work everyone. It is inspiring me to break out the camera and start planning for spring.
Here are a couple of mine. Monument Valley and an Oregon Coast Lighthouse
Try an f/64 backpack. That was the only one big enough to fit my Ebony 8x10.
I know that it is not possible to use roll paper with this printer, but can you cut roll paper to larger than 22" and feed it in as sheet paper? Thanks.

I have the Fuji 450 and it is one of my favorite lenses for 4x5. There are many times that you just need that extra reach. Since I bought the lens several years ago, I have always made sure that...
I am thinking of braving the heat and heading down to Zion and vacinity on July 30th. One thing that will determine where I actually go is the water conditions. Does anyone know if there is still...
Our best wishes to you in this impossible time.
Yes, the polarizer was used on all of them.
I am on IE 7 and have an email in to Jim at Midwest.
I am trying to order some Acros loose sheet film from Megaperls, but cannot get the Paypal transaction to go through. I keep getting an error message at the end of the transaction telling me that I...
I have the SV45ti and an 80mm lens. It will just barely focus at infinity without going to the wide angle settings for the camera. I bought a recessed board from Jim at MPEX and it works great. I...
E-- You are not the only one that does not like the Techs. The newer ones seem so overengineered as to seem fiddly to me. Long live the Ebonys.
So, are you the proud owner of this camera? I happened to see the end of the auction and the prices more than doubled in the last minute of the auction.
If the lens is small enough, I know that the Linhof Technika allows you to store the lens in place. Otherwise, check out the non-folding Ebonys.
Given what you shoot, I would agree that, given the price, this is not a bad way to get into LF. As for lenses and film holders, check with Jim at Midwest Photo (mpex.com) and he can set you up. ...
If you are going to be doing lots of field shooting, then a field camera is obviously better, unless you want to do a fair amount of architectural shooting in which case this camera would serve you...
Also, unless you are going to develop yourself, you should anticipate between $5 and $7 a sheet for development.
It really depends on what you intend on shooting, and how much money you want to spend to get into large format. It looks to be a great price for the equipment, but you should expect the price to...
I am trying to decide on a trip for the second week of September and thought of the hills with the Oaks in California. I have been through northern CA several times and driven by those hills, but am...
Not a deep red, but a polarizer and a dark orange filter.
Just thought I would post a few pics here from Eastern Washington taken over the past few days. It was good to go to somewhere totally different from the coast and rainforests that I am used to...
Steve,
Good to know. Every Ebony that I have ever had had the 2 tripod mount holes.
Dan,
Have you considered taking it to a machine shop and having a second hole tapped in the metal base plate?
Dan,
One of the other advantages of having a longer QR plate is that if you have the bellows fully extended, you can move the camera mount up further to balance out the greater extension and...
I have the SV45Ti and it has 2 mounting holes in the bottom. I use a Markins PL-15 plate (Arca style) that has slots to mount it in both mounting holes. Mine is rock solid. In the RRS stock, I...
Universal bellows are coming, so that should ease the movement situation, but I was hoping to avoid having to reposition the front standards to the wide angle position. I was hoping that the...
I just got this lens today and when mounted on a flat board, I can't seem to draw the bellows in enough to focus at infinity without hitting the back swing/shift plate. Anyone figured out how to use...
Dan,
Any not to miss areas that I should be looking for around Colfax?
Randy
I am tentatively planning on being there the week of June 18th to do some shooting. Would love to get together with some locals who know the area. Looking for scenics.

With respect to the bridge climb, I did it a few months ago and forget about bringing the camera. After you put on your special climbing suit, you have to go through a metal detector to insure that...
Count me in, depending on coverage and price. I have the Nikon 150 but would like something lighter.
I have a Markins M20 left handed version that I use with an Ebony 8x10. It works great so long as you keep the tension set high enough. With the tension set high, I can move the camera in any...
For my money, you can't beat a Markins. I use mine for both 35mm and 8 x 10 and it holds both perfectly.
