My early, single coated, Fuji w 210 covers 810 with a enough movement even for non-radical architectural stuff. Fully sharp out to the mechanical vignetting. It was the cheapest 810 "wide field" lens...

Rob,
The shack is/was on the Goulburn Valley highway at Molesworth - about an hour northeast of Melbourne. The bridge is at Polly McQuinns weir about about 5ks west of Strathbogie - roughly 2 hours...

hmmm, yeah I thought someone might ask that. Didn't take one of either. Couldn't see the point. The new bridge will be around for years - so no rush there. As for the shack, it was just a pile of...

I was driving through an old haunt over the weekend and much to my surprise :eek: and disappointment :( a couple of my past photographic 'icons' have lost their battle with entropy. In memorium I...

Good: J&C (Adox) 400; Gooder: Efke PL100; Goodest: FP-4

I've got an old pelican (unsure of model) in which i keep my Zone Vi 810, a couple of lenses, light meter, dk cloth, filters etc. It was owned by a local pro. I'm not sure what they use for a divider...

Thanks for the link, MG... the 2450 i'm using has fogginess on the inside of the glass.

It's a beautiful thing and a job that's truely inspirational... well done!

Sharp image, Joe!

Since there were a couple of waterfall shots earlier in this post here's one i had lying around.

Strathbogie weir. Taken winter last year (probably the last time they got any reasonable rain)....

In art school we often discussed the nature of art - what makes it so etc.

Of course this is a very slippery and often devisive topic, one that soaked up a lot of heated discussions in art...

FYI I intend to be at both 'The Gathering', organised by Gold Street, and other events associated with the DAYLESFORD FOTO BIENNALE (sounds important, but i suspect it's rather diminutive). I'll make...

I feel really bad about this - coz guess where I'm from? :( I buy a lot of stuff from os, and especially the US. Sometimes I really have a tough time convincing (state-side) sellers that it'll be OK....

Here's one i prepared earlier - 810 (300/f5.6 Caltar II, Rodenstock), Pyrocat-hd, scan from neg.

and Colin's!

Bracing on an old corrugated shed near Melton, Victoria.
4x5 shot on 20y/o Plus-x (pyrocat-hd).
Can't remember the lens used (for some unexplicable reason i didn't write it down in my notebook)....

Thanks for the directions to the site outlining the various film holders' dimensions. I suppose I should have mentioned I'd already come across it in my searches. Unfortunately, for my purposes, it...

come on! surely someone must know - or at least can tell me where i can find out?
please :)

I haven't been able to log on to their web site for ages :( ... pity really, 'coz they send their catalogue every couple of months (which must cost heaps) and my interest has been pricked on some...

Can anyone tell me the actual dimensions of 11x14 film? (metric measurements are preferred but it's not critical)
I have a 12x15 plate camera with a holder for which I'm going to make an adaptor....

Thanks for all the (as usual, valuable) comments... my concern is that I can't physically check out the lens. I think it's an older issue, so my presumption is that it will probably be go into a...

Hi,
I've come across a 355 g-claron in barrel and was wondering if it would fit a copal 3... do *all* 355s fit copal 3s?

4x5 - 150mm Symmar-S (It came with a Wista45 metal field I found in a dodgy second handmarket in Seoul - it was a choice of the symmar or a 150 xenar for the same price.) Does the Ś'stand for super?...

oops... welcome Britt!
sorry for not acknowledging you in that last post.
(...this is like setting up an 810 for the first time - so many things to remember.)

Bob,
Since the new format meant i had to log on and undertake a little admin stuff with Ralph I figured i might as well sign on 'for real' and start participating. However, being such a novice LF...

Hi guys,

Thanks for the welcome. I've been a little fortunate in finding a person (now friend) locally who is very well versed in LF matters (I met him via the Trading Post when he was selling a...

A good place to start would be Q.-Tuan Luong's "4x5 round up" at the LF Home Page (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/roundup4x5.html). Phillip Greenspan also wrote some stuff about using a 4x5 -...

Hello everyone,
Thought I'd better come in from the lurking cold and introduce myself - I too have been inspired by the new face of LFPF. My name is Pete Skerys. I live in Melbourne, Australia....

The details about gg grinding are on Dick Dokas's site:

i'm going to give it a go... doesn't look too difficult... just gotta find some grit....

Thanks guys. So I think T X 360/5.5 is good enough for me, while T A 360/5.5 would be better.

I'm looking for tele lenses for my linhof 4 at reasonable price. Apo T Xenar 400/5.6 seems to be the best, but it's out of my budget. So used T Xenar 360 or T Arton 360 seems to be a good option. ...

Thanks guys.

Any one know that if the Schneider G-Claron 355mm/f9 lens a "tele" design, which will brings it a shorter actual focusing length than 355mm, or not? I have a Toyo AII camera with only a 324mm...
