I have owned and used a lot of field cameras over the years - both wood and metal. The progression was MPP - Linhof - Shen Hao - Wisner - Chamonix - Canham - and finally an Ebony. They all have...
Beseler 8x10 conversions include a spacer to move the entire lens and 8x10 head assembly forward - the lens needs to be centered on the negative holder.
I have an Omega 5x7 head I am not using. It was on an E series and is one of the round Omegalite designs. Send me a PM if interested.
I am referring to 4x5 Linhof style boards.
The photo is a 210mm Claron - I have an acme #4 shutter on a Linhof board and it fits OK - looks like any lens shorter than 4" long with fit nicely.
Update: This answer is yes, a Linhof board will fit into these quite nicely. The lens length can be up to about 4" - the top and bottom are molded semi-rigid, the sides are just padded. The back...
Could you explain a little more on this, where are you located and what stores are you referring to?
My newest addition - an Ebony SV57U. It took a few years of saving pennies and horse trading a few cameras to finally get one.
Another vote for Ries over Berlebach.
I have owned both brands and they both are good solid tripods. But, I did not like the preset leg angles on the Report series and the lack of a leg angle...
This is the one I am asking about:
http://www.bobwards.com/FISHPOND---Sweetwater-Reel-And-Gear-Case-Small--12660?utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_source=googleproducts
Does anyone know if the small orange single reel case made by Fishpond will take a Linhof lens board. Only information I have found are the exterior dimensions - 4" x 4" x 4.5".
Any thoughts/reactions/problems on the Nyte Vu goggles now that you have had them for a few months?
The old head needed new tubes and starters and would have been a little on the dim side. LEDs have very low heat, are instant on with no warm up needed, no "drift" in brightness, and look like a...
The results I get are the same as I would get from the other heads I have used. I did a few step wedge test strips for comparison.
Closer view of the LEDs mounted on the plate -
This is a short description of how I converted an Omega 5x7 E3 Head to an LED head -
The enlarger I have is an Automega 5x7 E3 - it originally had a 4 tube cold light head when I got it. The...
A little off your question, but the later Beseler 8x10 heads used off the shelf bulbs - I don't remember their number, but they were U shaped. I sold my head a while ago, but I recall paying about...
I watch both - the base side comes in a little later, so I will make a decision on what I see on that side.
FYI-
Found this at Walmart this weekend in a back to school bin - 97 cents each. They will just take 3 - standard size 4x5 film holders, or 2 with some room to spare. Fabric is a light weight...
More on the 23C conversion to 45 -
The 35mm "problem" occurs because when you combine the top and bottom bellows in the conversion, you can't compress them enough to focus a 50mm lens. But, if...
You can convert a 23C to a 4x5 with a few simple steps -

I just did his conversion of a 23C and am quite happy with the results.
On the viper, the lens cap has a "pinhole" that I use to increase the depth of field when working up close. Also, to get a clear image I have to be very careful about aligning the viper with my eye....
They do show a 5x7 version on their website -
Rob - Thanks for the information.
I would be interested in any users opinions on either the Shen Hao HZX810 or the HZX57-IIAT. Both are the teak and titanium models classic design (not the Philips center focus design). I am looking...
Another vote for Ries with 250 head - they just got everything right - design, fit & finish, looks, and easy to use.
I have wondered how these are as a hand holdable camera - so I am looking forward to your review - by the way, is that the Horseman back I sold you?
Could anyone give brief instructions of using the the dials on the rear standard on a Horseman LX. There is one dial with a white mark and another with f stops. Is it the same as the one on a...
This might be something to visit if your into old restored buildings - public park and tripod friendly.

Thanks - I was not sure from the information provided by Horseman
Anyone know if you can use a Sinar Bellows on the Horseman L series cameras?
I had a chance to visit the gallery today, I would agree with what Bob said. I also found the two color images in the collection very interesting. I was not aware that he did color.
There was...
How about plastic petri dishes with lids - 100mm x 15mm - on the auction site they go very for less than $10 for a set of 20.
Hey - Great find - I got a couple of these today, two holders fit with room to spare, I can get three in but it is a tight fit.
I like the ArtixScan M1 that I have - I feel it was a step up from the Epson 4870 that I was using before. Having the separate scan drawer instead of using the glass bed seems a lot easier, and I...
How about one of these? Kangaroo Bike - Converts from a bike to a stroller -
Now for something a little different - take a look at:

My choice is a Ries over a Berlebach ( I have owned both ) because the Ries has separate leg angle locks where the Berlebach has preset leg angles (or floating with no lock). Both are solid and...
