Yes I am aware of custombellows in the UK - this is not at all a nice camera and will not be getting bellows from them. I am aware of what is involved gluing the bellows onto the frames. When my Agfa...
I'm replacing the bellows on a really beat up 2D and was thinking about these:...
Ed, you wouldn't happen to happen to have the 45A manual still available? The link is no longer working. Or anyone else?
thanks!
So I tried the chartthrob thing and it didn't get close - tried 3 different printer settings and 2 different ways of capturing the chart. I tried with no ammonium dichromate and a with a little to...
Thanks Colin,
I'll download QTR later today and check it out - I had been using drops of ammonium dichromate right in my sensitizer to boost contrast because my Canon could not get the contrast...
ok cool thanks guys! - I probably would have figured that out if I was at home - the settings on the Epson are not familiar enough to know what all is there yet!
Colin,
Do you know if the demo...
Awesome, thanks Sandy!
That seems like one of the simplest ways of calibrating for digital negatives.
What is printing with AWB? Auto White Balance?
My awesome wife got me a 3880 for Christmas so I can make larger digi negatives!
I had been using a small Canon photo printer and got my process down and now I have to start all over.
I figured...
That's a crazy story - there's all kinds of people in this world. Glad you got out of there ok :)
I definitely will. I restored a 2D a few years ago, it was a lot of fun. I'm gonna go for light wood/red bellows with this one and keep it as a user for my wife and I.
I think the flatbeds should all be the same but of course I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the 1st time, haha
I didn't think about having you measure before you shipped. Not a big deal to wait and...
I picked up a Burke and James 8x10 flatbed (the grey beast) and need to source a back and I need to know the size.
(I don't have the camera yet to measure the opening :)
If I could have someone...
I shoot FP100C and FP3000B regularly with a polaroid 405 back - no issues - still they don't seem to be cheap either anymore.
Thanks for the replies - I didn't even think about ordering a set from Schneider! hehe
Sometimes it's easy to overlook the most obvious solution!
I need to calibrate a copal 0 that was originally host to a 150 or 135 that this 75mm is now sitting in
It's a late Schneider Super-Angulon 75mm f/5.6
Can anyone take closeup shots of their...
I had posted a WTB in the buy sell section but got no bites. Does anyone know where I could find a tripod block for a 2D 8x10? I've tried googling and most links send me back here to old discussions...
Would a pretty please help? :)
The other piece I'm missing is the plumb level for the rear standard. Would you be willing to part with one of those as well?
Pretty Please?
What would you...
Good luck! Can't wait to see your results!
I'm almost done with mine, just need to make the bellows and a few small parts.
Let me know if you end up with an extra tightening knob, I'm missing...

Ok, it's re-assembled and it looks really good. I still need to make a new bellows and need to source a few small...
eddie - yes the front tilt I definitely want to keep, but swing is less necessary as I want to use this primarily as a portrait camera. So I may cut the brass mod and screw it down to make it...
Christopher - It's been modded for front tilt and front swing by a previous owner - though the swing makes the front standard a bit wobbly and I may remove it (cut and screw it down)
Plus the...
Rather than post it all here, I created a wordpress blog to document the restoration. I'm not going to restore it to look original as it's already so heavily modified. I'm going with a lighter...
it's about 1/4 inch too large.
Kodak 2D backs are 11 5/16 inch. This back is 11 7/8 inch. Pin spacing is way off, and internal bevel way too large as well.
Also note the view no. 1, 2 and 2D...
What Kodak models do you think it would fit? It definitely doesn't fit my Kodak 2D, it's too large.
I agree it does look similar to that back. The brass attachments are shaped differently, the photo in the View No. 1 looks the same as the ones on my 2D. Look at the 3rd photo I posted, it's a...
Here are some photos of the back.
I got an 8x10 I'd like to sell, but before I do I have no idea what camera it will fit and that's pretty important - it's an older style American wooden 8x10 back.
The back is 11 7/8 x 11 7/8 inch...
Just make sure they put out a pure sine wave - otherwise they could blow up your strobes.
Arca Swiss actually produced a Polaroid 405 like the second metal clip unit you mention:

Hmm, I've sold to Canada many many times on Ebay (esp. when I sold my music studio off) and almost always shipped UPS, no one has ever told me about these brokerage fees. First I have ever heard of...
The restoration has begun - I'll make a new thread tonight and post photos as I go along to document the process.
I'm not a fan of the front shift mod - makes the front standard way too flimsy but...
That's a good deal Frank, esp. with the Ektar - like buying a lens, and the seller throwing in a free camera :)
Let me know what you think of the Ektar btw, I was thinking about picking up a 12"...
And is this the stuff for the inner material?

Would this make a good outer material?

It's definitely just a sliding 5x7 back, no way to remove it - It could be torn apart and turned into a regular 5x7 back, but I don't want to destroy it.
Unless I have to :)
Thanks guys! - once I got it up on a tripod I found the badge on the bottom of the front standard (i had missed it when it was on the floor) - definitely a 2D. Just heavily modified. It's got a...
