Thanks for the info here. Even with the tabs removed from the camera body completely, the 5x4 back will press tightly onto its fitting but it won’t rotate, it’s too tight.
I don’t entirely agree...

Sorry, I’m not up on my terminology, what’s a Blitzer?
Also, I didn’t think Linhof backs were compatible with Wista? Or are you referring to the problems with Linhof build quality too?
Thanks.
Ooh, I think I might have a 45-N and not a VX, there’s no micro adjustment knob on the side of the camera body. Is the fitting of the back different on this older body, as that’s the camera I got the...
Yikes! Send the camera to Japan? I was hoping there might be a less drastic solution!
If it’s due to crappy manufacturing tolerances, I may as well file the back of the camera myself. I don’t want...
I’ve been lucky enough to be given a Wista RF body for Christmas. I already own a 45VX and so I already have a sliding roll film back and the sprung 5 x 4 back.
Here’s my problem! Whilst the sliding...
Thanks for your help, after much consideration I think I'll try it here in the for sale section, then "the worlds favourite internet auction site" if I'm feeling brave.
I'll still continue my forum...
(fear not moderators, this isn't a 'for sale' post - I don't know its true value!)
Hello all, I hope this type of post is excusable! The time has come to sell my Cezanne Elite. I really don't know...
Thanks Again Peter, I'll give it a try this evening.
Ironically it was transparency all the way for me too, but I have started using negatives due to the prohibitive cost of E6.
right, so its...
hello all,
I've had a cezanne for some time now, but I'm rather embarrassed to say that it has been laying dormant for over a year! What i'm about to type will make me sound as if I'm new to the...
Thanks for the reply Mike, so the distortion should be about the same right? because the lenses have a (roughly) equivalent field of view?
Either way, I'm going to have to move to 67 for this...
Dear Large format peeps,
I'm trying to shoot some interior portraits, generally in small spaces (i.e. no more than about 2-3meters from my subject) and wanted a wide angle perspective to grab a...
Thank you for the nice comment Jeremy...
Weird indeed, I had to think about it for a minute. I shot this picture with my crown graphic, hand held. If you hold the camera using the hand strap in...
Thanks for the help Frank, I'll give it a shot next week... rather than hijack the thread any further I think I'll start another, dedicated to such situations.
Trying to get things back on...
Ahh great! that's really helpful. Thank you. You see... I'm so blinkered by using flash (I worked as a lighting monkey for many years) that I didn't even think about red heads. I guess the color cast...
Frank, I love your work and enjoy all the pictures you post online. I was wondering if I could ask you a question? For a while I've wanted to shoot an interior portrait like your girl on her bed...
I've been lucky enough to get hold of 10 packs of 572. Being neither particularly wealthy nor keen to waste any with exposure tests etc, I was hoping someone may have some hints for getting the best...
Hi Tim, I dug out my Cezanne instruction manual for you. The white reference strip is errr... seemingly for errr... white reference? Being more serious, I wonder if it's so important to have it...
Peter, not wanting to hassle you, but might you be able to shed a bit of light on your workflow? I'm having a job with Colorgenius 2.1.3 under OSX 10.4.11 - I've updated from the dianappon website -...
oops! sorry if I misled anyone... I made the schoolboy error of assuming things would be identical....
Hi Tim, I can offer a little advice, I bought a used Cezanne a fortnight ago, here in the UK.
The tail section comes off really easily, open the front panel and undo one thumbscrew (all the way...
The flash centre have branches in Birmingham and Leeds - they'd surely do rental and it would be Phase. I totally abandoned rental in the end, it's a total rip!
Thanks Peter, I look forward to your answer.
At the moment I am scanning a large collection of 645 negs and trannies that I took on a trip to the US of A. But in addition I shoot 6x7 and a little...
Hi all, well I've just become the proud owner of a Screen Cezanne Elite (FT-S5500). I bought it from a bankrupt printing firm, here in the UK.
It's taken me some time, but I've finally got it...
Hi all, I'm a long-time lurker and today is the first time I've needed to post a question that isn't otherwise answered on these forums!
Well today I made the leap into the world of big heavy...
