I have purchased from them as well. I purchased a jewelry scale with a tare function and a weight for calibration. I believe the brand was MyWeigh as well.
Congrats!
It is fun.
I should mention that with longer lenses I rarely use tilt, so the top hat board is not a problem for me. I guess it depends on what you photograph. I mostly photograph landscapes and use the longer...
Ah. Missed that. I went the other way. I use the top hat type boards, but I did catch that he did not want to do that.
Awesome! Congratulations Austin.
Even if you have a longer bellows you will be limited by the mechanical limits of the camera's ability to extend. I don't think you will get what you want with just a longer bellows.
My experience was prompt responses and good, helpful information. Probably time time of year.
Sounds awesome Vaughn. Enjoy.
My college (a community college) built a brand new darkroom and work area when they built a new building. The film photography program is strong. Classes are full every semester. It coexists with a...
Welcome aboard!
Check with Kumar, who is a member here. He can often find what you need for a Wista.
If I can afford it, I try to purchase what I really want instead of settling. That is not always possible. Patience helps. For example, after waiting for a LONG time, I picked up a used ARCA Swiss...
Congratulations Jim. It is beautiful.
I have a My Weigh also. Works just fine.
I really like Adox MCC 110.
The best deal on a Rodenstock would probably be a 135mm Caltar II-N. It is identical to the multicoated 135mm Rodenstock Sironar-N. The next best deal would usually be the multicoated Sironar-N. If...
I do pretty much the same as SCM. I use old mat board. I use one for the base, one behind the item, and add another one on the opposite side of the window to bounce the light back toward the item. I...
Me too.
Interesting. Good to know.
My 180mm f/5.6 Fujinon W (single coated) covers Whole Plate just fine. That is the widest lens that I normally use with that format. My 120mm f/8 Fujinon SW also covers, but I don't normally shoot...
Years ago, I saw Jim Ormand from Western Bellows spray some 3m Super 77 into a jar until it puddled up. Then he painted it on the bellows and the patch before affixing the patch to the bellows.
Bathrooms are fine. Block out the windows. You need a stable table or perhaps the countertop if you have enough room. A bulb in a socket or one of those reflectors with the pressure clamp you can get...
Congrats Austin!
That is what I did. I have a 300mm Nikkor M and am very happy with it.
If you like Canson Baryta Photographique try using Arista-II Baryta Photo Inkjet Paper from Freestyle. You can use it exactly as you would use the Canson paper with Canson's profiles. It is less...
Another option would be a 300mm Fujinon L. It is a Tessar type, single coated, in a Copal No. 3.
Nice work with the TW Drew. Glad you are doing well.
Bob, that is true, but with my Wista I use smaller lenses like the 300mm Nikkor M, 180mm Fujinon A, etc. I have a set of extension tubes so I can use the 450mm Fujinon C. It works well and is...
I purchased a similar Wista VX from Kumar and like it very much. It is not exactly like your Crown Graphic, but much of its operation will seem familiar to you. The Wista is very well made and...

Linhof has a depth of field chart that can be purchased fairly inexpensively...

My favorite paper is Adox MCC 110. I liked the paper OK when it was made by Agfa, but did not care for the base. The whiter base of the Adox product makes a huge difference.
I know I don't always...
I have a piece of wire hanger that I cut with a wire cutter. I tape different shapes on it, depending on need. I keep all of the shapes, but don't really use most of them, unless I am reprinting...
Shenhao lensboards have worked well for me on my Walker Titan SF, Wista VX, and my ARCA Swiss adapter board. You can purchase them from a fellow named Rudy on EBay. His store is ecbuyonline2008....
Wow Jim! Just wow!! What a great endeavor. And a great achievement. Congratulations.

I agree, 210/215mm is wide, but a gentle wide. A 180mm f/5.6 Fujinon W is a nice shorter focal length lens on WP. I have a single coated 120mm Fujinon that also covers, but is way too short for my...
I second the 250mm f/6.7 Fujinon. I like it on my WP camera. I really love looking through the whole plate GG through my 215mm Caltar f/4.8.
