Thanks all, will try to make this one work with some maintenance

David, I was reading this, I'll give them a call

here is the shutter

well, I drank the juice and picked up a 7" dagor. Is there any chance of getting this into a shutter other than the original compur?

I do lots of low light work so is not a huge deal to use it at...

excellent thanks all -
I'll likely go the t-nut route.

good morning all,

My Kodak D2 is having issues with the 1/4" tripod thread being pushed up so far the male threads from the tripod will not reach it.

My plan is to patch this up and drill a...

Gary,
I was using the weight of the paper, is about 6 feet and I'm standing above the tray dipping one edge then gentle pulling it through. I was thinking of adding a bar across the tray top to...

Now for lens research... GAS is unrelenting

Good morning all,

Bringing it back around, after shooting 8x10 for the past few weeks I've decided to move back down to 4x5 for my personal work. Here are two images scanned to 40x50 (300) with a...

Def have been considering it. I've been deterred by the longer ratio.

Thanks Luis, I'm going to do some comparisons tomorrow.

do you recommend an older less corrected lens? I landed on solely Fuji CMW pretty early on and used it in 125 and 180.

oh I've def been thinking about it but the ratio feels too long

All I really appreciate everyone chiming in, there is some great advice in here. I'm going to shoot this camera for the week then do some side by side comparisons. Currently I'm finding that I...

good morning all,

I'm sure this has been answered over and a over however I'm wondering if anyone can comment or send links on enlarged 8x10 vs 4x5. I've been shooting 4x5 for about 9 years...

Thanks all, I’ll check out storage bins - If I can’t find anything then will construct out of plywood

Good afternoon all,

Looking to make some large scale PHOTOGRAMS using a scrolling technique however I can’t find any trays. There’s a machine shop by the house that will make 3 - 42x3x5 for around...

huh, really surprised that the Zone VI ones are so hard to find. I'll move in laptop bag direction for now -thanks for the help

good afternoon all,
I"m wondering if someone can point me in the direction of a carrying case for 6 or so 8x10 film holders? I can't seem to find the zone VI nor f64 outside of 4x5.

thanks
Dave

ok - i'll contact SK for a quote. I have the linhof style on my chamonix; the current lens board lens board for the 305 is a makeshift that I made for an old 8x10. Do you guys know if I'll have...

Hey group,

I'm hoping someone can help me out with mounting an 8x10 lens to a 4x5 chamonix. the mounting ring is larger than the opening for the lens board and I'm wondering if there is an...

Thanks everyone, i pulled the trigger on a beautiful Fuji 125 CMW 5.6.

Great, thank you Drew.
just wanted to be sure I wasn't over looking a detail on importing fees.
best-
da

All, is there any reason to not buy the fuji lenses coming from Japan on ebay? Does anyone know what the import charges would be?
According to a few forums i've been on it sounds like if less than...

Thanks guys this is all very useful information. Sounds like I could tighten up on my technique a bit then would have a ton of great directions.
Is there any sense in trying to keep one brand of...

Great links thanks Pere!

More of a user error, I'm using the movements of my camera to compose and am quickly running out of image circle so the image is cropped. Due to the lack of light I'm not noticing it until I get my...

Thanks guys, making a lens board out of maple and will try it out today.
I'll post some pics if it works.

Hey guys, anyone know how big of a lens I can safely mount to a Kodak Empire state 8x10 camera? I just picked up a rebranded 14" Vesta and am a little concerned that it will be too big for my camera....

sounds great - just ordered this light. I've gone this approach before but never with such a strong light.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'll post images once i get going.

that should be an easy enough fix, I'll try that. Any recommendation on who makes a really bright Fresnel screen?

I shoot very easily at night with my medium format (yashica mat / hasselblad), however, the 4x5 is always very dark. in the past i've had to use a laser pointer to figure out focus and composition...
