Hi all,
I have some Rollei RPX25 film (LF|4x5 and MF|120) that I want to scan with my Epson V750 scanner and Lasersoft Silverfast 8.8. Silverfast has a feature called NegaFix that offers custom...
Hi Michael,
I have the Nikon NIKKOR-M 450mm f9 Lens and had the Nikon NIKKOR-W 360mm f6.5 Lens. I found that the 450mm lens covers 16x20 nicely (yes, I shoot 16x20), while the 360mm lens...
Hi Jurgen,
I have an uncoated version of this lens, which I have used on my 8x10 and 16x20 cameras.
I photographed some Sycamore trees using my 16x20 camera, this lens, my Nikon NIKKOR-M 450mm...
I have the Nikon NIKKOR-M 450mm f9 Lens and shoot 16x20, and this lens does cover 16x20 at closer than infinity (I shot it at 10-50 feet).
I have the Fuji FUJINON-C 450mm f12.5 Lens, and I do not...
I have a 1959 version of this lens (Serial #RY 336) mounted in a Compound Shutter. Not sure which size Compound shutter: below the lens, the shutter states: "D.R.P. COMPOUND D.R.G.M.". On the dial...
Ari, thanks for sharing your personal experience. I read about a lab in Lima called Taller de Fotografía Profesional. However, I do not know anybody who has tried them.
Thomas, thanks for the...
Hi all,
I am planning a trip to Peru and Chile for this Fall, probably September. I would like to shoot some LF film, preferably 5x7 but at least 4x5. I have some Fuji VELVIA 100 that I cannot...
Regarding this Fuji FUJINON-SW 300mm f9 lens and the subclub webpage: if you look at the comments in the last column on the right side it says that reportedly only 3 of these lenses were made:
"It...
Hi Roberto,
I have a Goerz DAGOR 7" (180mm, okay, technically 178mm) f6.8 Lens. I shot it on my 8x10 camera at both f45 and f64, and the lens vignetted. The Goerz literature on this lens from...
Fred Newman at the VIEW CAMERA STORE is taking orders for this ORTHO+ ULF Order. I already placed my order with him.

Hi,
I would also look at the Kodak WIDE FIELD EKTAR 190mm (7 1/2") f6.3 lens. I had the Fuji FUJINON-W 180mm f5.6 lens and found it vignetted in either the upper 2 or lower 2 corners every time. ...
I have a Richard Ritter 16x20 camera and could barely focus a Nikon NIKKOR-W 360mm f6.5 lens at roughly 8 feet (I was photographing a Sycamore tree in tight quarters). The bellows barely compressed...
I picked up my 16x20 DELTA 100 order from Fred Newman at the VIEW CAMERA STORE this Monday.

Hi Steve,
You might look at the Toyo Metal Field Camera:

Hi Michael,
You might try talking with Frank Green at the LAB CIBA in Burbank, California:
http://lab-ciba.com/index.html
He still prints CibaChromes|IlfoChromes and may have some ideas.
...
Greg,
I have a 180mm f6.8 DAGOR, and all of the 8x10 sheets of film that I exposed with it vignetted in at least 2 corners (I might have used a little rise/fall). That includes focussing on a...
Thanks for your suggestion; I will give that a shot.
Daniel
Hi all,
I will be in Portland, Oregon, visiting my sister and her husband and kids in a couple of weeks and thought that I would take a day trip down to photograph the Rector Ridge Spruce. I read...
Hi Kevin,
I have the Nikon 450mm f9 lens, and it does cover 16x20 at f32 and smaller apertures. I cannot recall if I tried exposing any film at f22 or larger apertures (depth of field with 16x20...
Hi,
Talk to Keith Canham about starting or joining a group purchase of Kodak PORTRA 160|400 or EKTAR 100 film in 11x14 or what ever size that you want to use:

I order locally (well, in my state of Arizona) from Fred Newman at the VIEW CAMERA STORE:

Namaste,

Hi Chester,
I have an Epson V750 and in the past year or so I noticed that I have to move the mouse after selecting preview or scan in EpsonScan before the scanner will start the scan. This...
Another aspect of ULF is that, except for 11x14, no ANSI standard exists for the film holders. So you need to buy your film holders 1st and then have the camera made according to the specifications...
Hi Kenneth,
Try talking to Stephen or Matt at HIDDEN LIGHT, LLC:
http://hiddenlightllc.com/about-us/
They develop and print my LF film (I live in Sedona) and work with several other LF...
Thanks Mark,
I will see about getting the 4x4 lens filter.
Daniel
I live in the Sedona area, so altitude (4500 feet and higher) and haze are sometimes a problem. As a result, I prefer to use UV filters with most of my lenses.
I have a 19" Goerz DAGOR (Serial #...
IGOR'S CAMERA EXCHANGE currently has a Schneider ANGULON 210mm f6.8 lens for $595 (I have no connection with IGOR'S other than occasionally buying lenses and film holders from them):

Just to follow up on this subject. I e-mailed Freestyle about developing Rollei RPX25 with RPX-D, and here is what they had to say:
*********
That is actually a mistake on our website. Thank you...
Thanks Steve.

Hi all,
I just shot a box of Rollei RPX25 (along with some Ilford DELTA 100 to see how the 2 films compare). Rollei, or maybe it is just FreeStyle, recommends RPX-D for developing this film:

Hi Chris,
I did see a box for sale on the auction site:

Hi Jim,
They stopped processing E6 film in December or January. That is when I switched to North Coast Photographic Services over in San Diego or Carlsbad. Ken Rockwell recommends them. Good...
Thanks everyone and just to follow up.
The 135mm WFE lens was compact enough for me, even with the adapter ring and lens filter.
I did locate a Series VIII - 57mm adapter ring on *that auction...
Thanks everybody for your suggestions, especially about the Series VII lens adapter.
If the WFE does not work out, then I will look at the Fuji NW/W lenses. I do like Fuji lenses, but I am...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
Doremus: I already have a Fuji CM-W 135mm f5.6 lens. I was hoping that the WFE would be smaller or at least a little more expendable if I dropped it on a...
Hi all,
I bought another older lens, this time the Kodak WIDE FIELD EKTAR 135mm f6.3 lens, and again the lens is coming without lens caps (I am putting together a light weight 4x5 kit for rock...
Hi Ariel,
Sinar published a book on people photography with Sinar LF cameras back in the 90s. The book is kind of pricey and short, but here is a link to the book on AMAZON.com:

Thanks Bryan,
The lens I ordered is serial # 7,xxx,xxx. According to Schneider, that serial # corresponds to a manufacturing date of around 1962 when I checked their lens info. I noticed that...
Hi Chris,
Not sure on papers, but actually Frank Green at THE LAB CIBA still does CibaChromes:

I am having him print some CibaChromes of my 4x5 and 8x10 slides...
