Hi,

I am not sure whether this question has been answered previously (a quick search goes back to March 2012 on the lens specs).

I just got this lens (Caltar II-N 90mm f6.8) and I have a...

Dear Koh303,

Thanks for your kind reply.

I am using manual agitation after reading the replies yesterday. As mentioned by Tim, there were some developer issues and now it's much better but not...

Dear Ed,

Thanks. I am considering a Jobo Expert Drum or a Jobo Tank. In the meantime, I am testing the MOD54 with manual inversion as suggested by the manufacturer in the MOD54.com site.

Dear Koh303,

Thanks for your kind insight.

I did the last two development yesterday using manual agitation as indicated in the MOD54 website. I found inconsistencies there and I used a...

Tim,

Thanks. I tried with another developer, ID11 on a 1:1 dilution and with manual, slow inversion as explained in the website. The MOD54 is quite easy to load in the dark tent but I had better...

Hello there,

I am having a lot of problems developing 4x5 Ilford HP+5 film using the MOD54 on a Paterson Tank with a Uniroller base. The negatives came out all over developed, no contrast nor...

David,

Thanks. I got today a Nikkor Am ED 120 mm F/5.6 ED Lens in mint shape. I bought it from a local store and it's like new and came with a 30-days warranty. I am happy with it.

Now, I am...

Alan,

Thanks, what are you using for instant film? I have an Polaroid 545i and found that the film is not longer available ( I know, it was back in 2007 when I was using 4x5 and the film was...

Peter, Darnton,

Thanks for your feedback. I had a Rodenstock 150/5.6, it seems like a way to go. I agree that 90mm and 150mm will be the right steps. And 270-300 (or 210mm+) will make also...

Hello there,

First at all, thanks for the support that I have received when looking for a 4x5 camera.

I have now a Calumet NX. It's in mint condition, really. I would like to get ahold of a...

Ciao

My teacher Yoke Matze had a Arca Swiss and I learned there before moving with a Tachihara. I never tried a Chamonix or a Wista. Will consider as well Giovanni. In the meantime, I got ahold of...

Dear Alan,

Thanks. I got a Calumet NX today.

Next quest : lenses

I tried to get ahold of a Sinar F after reading your posts but somebody else outbid me in eBay. So, I got a Calumet NX. I read some great comments about the Sinar F and F1 in this forum.

I wish, as matter of fact, I bought mine when living in London (and earning in GBP) from Midwest Photo Exchange. But now I am earning US$ and they are now out of reach for me!.

I should have never...

Dear Alan, Peter, Drew,

Many thanks for your kind and insightful replies. I just got a Calumet NX. I believe that it will be an easy transition from the Tachihara - as said by Alan - but it won't...

Hello,

I have had a Tachihara 4x5, it was a great beauty but I had to sold it due to financial hardship. I currently own a Canon DSLR systems but I am looking to come back to 4x5 photography....
