I had a 4x5 Nag as my first large format camera. I used it for landscape work predominately. The longest lens I used with it was a Komura 400mm telephoto and the weight of this lens was pushing the...
Thanks Marty. I was expecting the price to be in the hundreds of dollars. A pleasant surprise.
Thanks Marty. I'll have another look at it next Thursday when I'm at the darkroom again.
Thanks Marty. The knob on the bellows works fine and moves the lens up and down, and it extends as far as in your pic, but it doesn't extend the bellows far enough to focus for and 8x10 print. The...
Marty, I have tried the condensers with the 152 on top and on the bottom and have had no change. The bellows seem to me to not extend far enough. They go to the bottom of the tubes but if the could...
I won't be back in the darkroom til next Thursday so I will take some pics then. Marty, I have the instructions that came with the enlarger and I have tried all of those.
I am renovating a disused darkroom here in Portland Australia and they have a Durst Laborator 1200 4x5 enlarger. I have just got a very good Rodenstock 150mm lens from ebay, but I cant get the lens...
I always wanted to ride one of those. My partner is thinking of getting a 659 Monster when she gets her learner's permit.240044This is mine.
I was very lucky. When I moved to Canberra with my then partner who was from Queanbeyan originally, she told me that the easiest way to get around Canberra was on a bike. I hadn't had a bike since...
Hi Mick. Yes, it still looks good. The rear focussing through rod broke back in 2009 but a guy I was working with at the time managed to fix it and it hasn't been a problem since. The bellows near...
I just saw this post and wished I had seen it earlier. I'm now based in Portland, SW victoria and am just refurbishing a darkroom at the local art precinct. It has a 4x5 Durst enlarger that had badly...
Steven, photos like yours ( which are wonderful) that I saw in Arizona Highways back in the 80s, were what got me started with large format. Thank you.
Maris, your work reminds of some I saw by Max Dupain, and as good.
Nathan, your shot reminds of the photography in Arizona Highways, which is what inspired me to get into LF cameras. Very nice.
I like it. Whereabouts in Melbourne is it? I don't think I've ever seen it.

Jp498, my bike is a Moto Guzzi, but brand new.
David,
I thought your response to channels3500 to be very mature. The fact that you were able to take something positive out of it was inspiring.

Greenspeed, I remember reading about these cameras in (I think) 1983/4 in a British magazine called Camera. Had photos of him with the camera, and I remember saying wow, I'd love one of these. I...
Is that before or after the earthquake Richard? Whichever it is, I like it.
Very nice Preston. It looks rather birdlike
Welcome to the forum. An important question for you. What do you ride? If you're riding to Canberra, let me know, coz I'm riding a Moto Guzzi Breva 750. There are some nice places to shoot around...
Every nude I've shot has been over 49. The only male nude I've done was aged 63. I don't like shooting young nudes, they have no character.
The war memorial is probably the best thing in Canberra as far as architecture is concerned, next would be the Carillion on Lake Burley Griffin. If you've got time, you might want to go to Mount...
Christopher, I really ike this image. You could perhaps call it,"Out of chaos comes order", because you've got the tangle of leaves with that wonderful shaft coming out of it.
Welcome from Canberra. Don't bother with small, just jump straight to 8x10. You'll love it.
Hi Malcolm,
Welcome to the forum.
I'm in Canberra too. I do my processing and printing at Photo Access in Manuka as I don't have my own darkroom.

Did anyone notice the name of the venue. Maybe it should be the Dorwin awards.
Welcome from an ex Geelong, now Canberra person.
Hi Tanzylynne,
there are several members here from New Zealand who will be able to give you advice. Welcome to the forum.

Geoff, that's 1/2 a k from where I live. I ride the Guzzi round that roundabout nearly every day. Small world.
I actualy like it Gandolfi. Wearing a pig as a hat...brilliant!
Welcome to the forum. I'm in Canberra but used to be in Geelong.
Welcome Keith. I did the first year of the RMIT course in 1989 but had to pull out due to divorce. I learnt heaps from the instructors and had a great time. I use a Tachi 8x10 and love it. Paul's a...

Superb Maris. Ilove it. So much detail to look at.
