    Poll: Re: Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

    Ben - Quick question, and forgive me if this has been asked. I don't have time to read all 84 pages. With the 65mm travelwide, you've stated the fixed focus is about 8 meters (26'), and I'm wondering...

    The Toyo 3.6x Loupe is an inexpensive long-barrel loupe and I'm happy with mine.
  3. Re: 65mm, 75mm or 90mm for 4x5 architecture?

    John -

    I've done some architectural work in NYC and my only comment would be regarding wide lenses if you are doing any interior work. I have used a 65mm older Super Angulon for interiors because...
  4. Re: What discontinued product do you miss the most?

    I'll echo others here with type 55 & 52, Kodak Ektalure and technical pan. PRT100 also.
  5. Re: Point & Shoot 8x10 / Osaka Commercial 210mm f:6,3

    I use a 210mm Schneider f9 G-claron. Small, light and tack sharp. Not terribly bright at f9, and I think it is only single-coated. But very reasonable at around $300 on eBay.

  8. Re: Suggestions for info on which 4x5 Field camera?

    I shoot Chamonix 8x10 and think the 4x5 Chams are great, but use a Toyo 45A II (about $700 on bay). Great cameras, the Chams and Toyo 4x5s.

    Re: Chamonix 045N-2: A Newbie's Review

    Re: 4x5 or 8x10

    A few things which deserve to be cleared up:

    You likely won't be happy with prints bigger than 40x50 from 8x10 negs scanned on an epson v700 or v750. The scanner just can't deliver the sharpness...

    Re: First rate E6 and C41 labs in USA?

    For c41 there is a big difference between 4x5 and 8x10. If you're shooting 8x10, I think there are only a few US labs consistently doing proper work (i.e., not ruining your negs). Lightwaves in SF is...
