The 4x5 transparency adapter from the earlier Epson scanners works with the 2400. That is what I use. Actually, I bought the adapter then looked for the newest scanner I was sure I could use it with....

I have always lusted for a Nova Dip & Dunk hand line as seen here

Always seemed like the easiest way to process small numbers of 4x5 film.

You do have forward tilt! Just mount the camera upsidedown on the tripod.

The easiest way to do that is by using the tripod socket under the strap and tilting the tripod head 90 degrees to the...

Actually, from the description in the original post, I thought he had a 180mm telephoto lens for a 6x9 camera; but his photos show a Sironar. Any chance it has a telephoto rear element on it?

I use a memonic:

Exposed to LIGHT
Exposed to DARK

Meaning black side out has only been exposed to dark (unexposed), and silver side out has been exposed to light (exposed)

The slide locks...

My only problem has been, you get some place out in the middle of nowhere, and find out it is a tourist trap.

If you can find a Graflarger light source they fit Graflock/International backs. A heavy duty copy stand makes a fine base.

I think what I need is one of those skinny release cables from back in the 1950's. Closer examination shows that the collar on the lens is not stripped. I had some of those ole release cables around,...

Well the lens arrived today. Looks as good as the description said. Will have to get out an try it real soon now.

There is one problem. I can not attach a shutter release cable to it. Threads will...

I have to take exception with this. If you look at that sculpture from the same distance as the camera was, you would see exactly the same thing the lens shows. The apparent change of perspective...

The Guild Theater shot certainly works better.

I wonder what would happen if you composed it so the curb ran up the right edge of the photo? In fact that my be a way to shoot the whole series,...

Thanks, it sounds like I got a real bargain at $140, if it is as described. Can hardly wait for it to arrive. I wonder if they used better paint on the lens edges than Schnieder did?

Does any one have an opinion on the Ilex Acu-Veriwide 90mm f:8 wide angle lens?

I just bought this lens from the evil site. It is supposed to have a fresh CLA. I am thinking it is most likely in...

Yes, but Tessars were not made with modern high refractive glass, and they did not have computerized ray tracing in 1902. Also, CNC machining can produce far more accurate elements. Construction is...

I just got a used Rodenstock Geronar f/6.8 210mm lens. Looks about like new except for scratches on the back from being mounted.

It is an interesting lens, three computer designed modern glass...

Freedom from time/temperature constraints. Freedom from darkroom drudge. Low cost. Load the tank, fill, agitate, set the tank down, and come back an hour or so later. I doubt that stand developing is...

1952 Crown Graphic, I've had it a couple of decades.
Toyo 45G, I've had it a couple of months (grin).

Yes, if absolute precision is needed, what he wants are pin-registered vacuum film holders. Linhof used to make them (or at least sold them with their name on them) they had a little battery powered...

I have a 4oz hammer, an 8oz one, a 16oz one, a 25oz one, and a 4# one. I do not use that 4# hammer a lot, should I sell it?

Nope, every so often it is the only one that will do the job, I need to...

The color, and reportedly on the GII, some of the plastic controls have been replaced with metal ones. AFAIK, there are no functional differences. The G & GB only differ in color.

Actually, the only quality improvement I could find was to reduce the advertised coverage of the lenses in the early 1960's. For instance that famous/infamous 90/6.8 was at one time claimed to cover...

Rise, shift, and micro focus are geared, everything else is friction. What the G has that the other do not is that it is modular format wise. You can change it from 4x5, to 5x7, to 8x10. The reason a...

Nope, I am suggesting that it is not a press camera, and that press cameras and technical cameras are different beasts, intended for different purposes, although both can overlap the others territory.

Well, there is a bit of misdirection here.

A press camera is a hand held camera that can be used as a limited view camera.

A technical camera is a view camera that can also be used hand held.
