Hi everyone,
After you've mounted the negative and taped down the mylar, do you then lay the Creo film mask over everything? I'll be venturing into doing the same thing in my studio and would...
7900 and 4800
Anyone have any experiences with using an Epson maintenance chip resetter? If so, where did you get yours? I have one, but I think it's a bum resetter, so I'd like a reliable source. Also, can you...
expensive but MPEX has a full set for sale. I just sold my 600/800 Nikkor. It was a great lens when I used it, but I just never used it enough.

That's definitely a Compact II but I went to art school with the bald kid. He was a year younger than me at RISD.
I'm in the same boat. I ordered two pieces of 8x10 glass from Dave in Dec. 2007 and still have not seen the glass or heard from him. I know he was dealing with some tough life situations right before...
I'll second that on the Nikon 150 SW. It's a beast, but a great wide angle lens for 8x10. It would definitely fit the bill and I think a few people are selling one here on the forum. I would suggest...
Dick made reducing backs as special requests. I bought my Compact II from an original owner and Dick had made him a 5x7 back out of a Canham 5x7 back mounted onto a bigger panel of wood to fit the...
I just got a Linhof 3-way leveling head with Linhof quick release plate on the used market and can say that all the praise is well deserved. Good luck on your search
I have a Sironar S 150mm with my Razzle 900. It's able to close up fully without taking the front element off because the 900 has a deeper front cavity than the 110B. Dean has an options page on his...
people have usually just changed the rangefinders. before Dean made the 900 a bit more popular with his Razzle 900 (which is awesome), people would take the rangefinder off of a 900 and place it onto...
LF junkies should run to see this amazing show that just went up on a body of work Mark Ruwedel did titled, 'Westward the Course of Empire' where he photographed along old torn down railways that...
i would love to hear how people are zeroing the back and front standards to be parallel with one another. i seem to always have trouble with this as there is no detents except the one dot for the...
Dave Parker is out of business but he has promised to complete all of his outstanding orders prior to him haulting Satin Snow. Has anyone recieved glass from Dave at all post Satin Snow?
sorry to hear about your troubles. i have two pieces of 8x10 glass i'm waiting on from dave parker and it's been close a year already. i'm not too concerned with them because i know he has a lot of...
Mandoman,
Thanks for the insensitivity towards Asians on this forum. I've already talked to Steve in a PM and there was a quick but pleasant apology. I'd appreciate if the ignorance was halted...
The magnifier itself is amazing. It's the best thing to use when viewing a GG. My opinion on using the hood in combination with the magnifier however, is lukewarm. I couldn't see clearly with the...
it would be nifty if people youtubed all of these techniques to share with others.

they have good glass.
I let my film run through the carry-on x-rays no problem now. I am actually in Asia at the moment with around 100 sheets of 8x10 and 100 sheets of 4x5 all happen to be Kodak 400NC. Surprisingly...
Dean is the man. I have a Razzle 900 and love it. Dean has been nothing but helpful all the way through. Definitely worth the well deserved wait list that he has now. I would suggest sending him a...
Check out these links. People that write for lum love their digital back view cameras.
They are nice. Kapture Group makes a really nice stitch/sliding adapter for the Linhof. It is also half the...
they are the same book and same edition (aperture/Thames and Hudson). I think T&H is just an overseas distributor and so the books have a different publishers stamp. Get the koudelka book if you can,...
Hello,
I plan to wet mount soon, but wanted to know how people are drying and/or cleaning their negs after wet mounting. I was told that hang drying was sufficient enough, but I am worried about...
does anyone know where i can get some? i know that they are no longer made.
thanks!
thanks sanking. i forgot about the AN sprays. do you have to clean the negative after spraying it? also, where do you buy they spray? thanks in advance.
I use a V750 with a sheet of anti-newton glass and am still getting newton rings. any other suggestions before I start dousing my 8x10 negs in wet mount solution?
thanks.
Dick has pretty much just sold all of the Explorers of his last batch already and the one that haven't been shipped are spoken for I believe. The camera has a starting price of $2630 and goes up from...
thanks guys. i appreciate it.
I talked to Dave Parker of Satin Snow and he said that all his gg's come blank. I have two sheets on order and he said he would include a grid template of some sorts, that is super helpful, but how...
just think how i feel. i'm in china right now working on a project shooting 4x5. i won't see my camera until i get back into the states later in the month. so close, but yet so far.
You were right Ron. Selling you my 5x7 back was to finance my new Chamonix 4x5. No. 45 is on it's way to me. It will be the same as your.
I'm glad you got the adapter Ron. I for one, am not a fan of the 5x7 aspect ratio. I like the more square ratio of a 4x5 and 8x10. I shot 35mm for a long time and started to hate the elongated frame....
Ta,
The SV45U comes with Universal bellows. They are bellows that have a very flexible front for the use of wide angle lenses. The SV45U can handle the 72mm with movements. The TE doesn't come...
PM Hugo Zhang or email him here hugoz_2000@yahoo.com to ask him about going about buying a Chamonix. He is the only distributor of the Chamonix line for the States and is nice and easy going.
I also use LTI. They are great and very nice. My negs have all come back in great shape with very few traces of finger prints. I found one 4x5 neg today with a chemical stain on it, but I shoot...
The only reason I suggest to advise on bidding with caution is that I've seen this exact Explorer picture and camera description posted a few times in the past year. I remember a carbon copy of this...
true, but i distinctly remember that this explorer and the description was posted by someone from norway and this one is in nj.
i've seen this older explorer posted on ebay a few other times with the same description with typos and all. i wonder if this is a scam. i would approach with caution if i was looking at camera.
