I use a polarfleece neck gator. The kind with elastic bands at the ends. One end stretches around the 4x5 camera GG frame. I stick my face in the other end. I can get a 4x Toyo loupe on any part...

My experience with printing directly from slides was with 35mm film and Fuji type R paper at the local photo store. Results were good with low contrast slides. High contrast slides resulted in...

I think your camera is made of Teak. Gluing Teak is sometimes problematic due to the oils in the wood. That is probably why the glue joint failed. Some glues are better than others for Teak. ...

The brackets that wedding photographers use for flash units might fit. I think Stroboframe is one of the popular brands. If you are going hand-held, then using a flash might help mitigate camera...

My packing list for such a trip: Light weight 4x5 double extension field camera with one lens that folds inside, box of quickload film and holder, dark cloth, light meter, loupe, one 35mm slr with...

Check out the Toyo balloon focussing hood. It is like a bag bellows that attaches to the back in the same way as the folding hood does. It cuts out more light than the folding hood and is more...

Mine is the regular Mini-Trekker, not the AW. I have carried Fuji Quickloads in the large zippered pocket of the flap door. A grey card in the same pocket provides rigidity so the Quickloads don't...

The Ebony uses the much more popular Linhof style lens boards. It may be easier for the Ebony to share lenses with your second view camera. When you look at used lenses for sale, more will come...

For scanning on Linux, I use vuescan from http://www.hamrick.com. Then I use gimp to edit the pictures. For me, the weak link on Linux is printer support. I print from a Windows machine using the...

For Quickload film, I use the box it comes in. My Quickload holder is the Japan market one with the red ink "E" button. It came with a nice case which I use.

Fuji quickloads solve the inspection problem pretty well. You can take them out of the box without light damage. By the way, I have put 100 ASA film through the xray machine without noticable...

I like Byron's idea. Although, I am thinking of printing separately, and mounting the multiple prints behind one mat board with appropriate dividers cut into it.

For 4x5 cameras, I use a black polarfleece neck gator. It is the kind that has elastic at both ends. Just stretch one end around the ground glass frame, and stick your face in the other.

A Wista DX can close with a small lens inside. Examples:

Old Fuji W 135mm f5.6 (single coated, in Seiko shutter) (modern one is larger)

Fuji A 180 f9

A Kodak 203mm Ektar should fit inside...

I am curious about the dimensions of this lens. I especially would like to know the diameter of the front portion of the lens.

Oh, the limitation is on the diameter of the lens! I assumed it was length only that limited lens size.

From the spec. sheet, it looks like the FA and VH use the same rails and lens standard. ...

Hello,

I am wondering how large a lens you can store inside a folded closed Horseman 45FA. I have a Fujinon W 135/5.6 (in Seiko shutter) that I would want to use on this camera if I bought one. ...
