You did not mention weekday camera you have.
But i have a shen-hao hzx-ii or something. I had an original linhof recessed lens board and it did not quite fit.
I sold it and bought a different...
I have a lens mounted in a linhof recessed lens board.
I want to move it to a standard flat lens board. Unfortunately I find it is impossible to unscrew the shutter retaining ring.
Before I try...

Austin: Love your work!
Here is one of my shots of the California state capitol from the backside. The cypress and moss almost makes you think you are in Georgia. Shen Hao 4x5 , Sironar 210mm,...
Yes that is the lift locking lever. That is for the whole head to go up and down.
But my problem is the focus for the lens on the bellows.
I was able to loosen it up a bit.
I was able to...
I just setup a lol 4500. Everything seems to work perfectly except the focus who's is very stiff or perhaps locked?
Is there a locking mechanism for the focus?
Or is it a common problem that the...
I wonder who ended up with the hypergon?
The problem with collecting lenses with"flaws" is that they tend to stick around. I have a chipped super angulon, a 50mm macro Zuiko f2 with a smidge on the rear element, a Sonar 8.5cm f2 in mint...
New owner of a linhof technika III.
The front standard clicks into place on the rail but it is not very rigid. Everything else is super solid!
Am I missing a lock down lever somewhere?
If this...
I've had a couple of plate f6.8 dagors.
I found focussing at f6.8 to have a noticeable amount of focus shift. But there was a wide variety of dagors and they were made over a long period of time,...
The Heilomar was the basic lens on the early voigtlander Bessa rangefinder. This cameras was the all black version before the chrome bessa ii was produced.
I have one with the heilomar, but the...
Ok, did some research. The technika iii uses a different lens board. At that to my buy list. Ug!
I just bought a technica iii.. or so I thought.
But my linhof lens boards don't seem to for.
Is there a trick to mounting the lens boards or maybe early linhofs user smaller boards??
It looks like the Optar is acceptably sharp. But it appears to have quite a bit of barrel distortion. It may have some interesting wide open.
The Xenar appears excellent. I cannot tell much of a...
Regarding the Fujinon 125.. Fuji is really the only manufacturer that took 125 seriously. The others had 135mm.. but that is too close to 150mm.
You are likely to get many different answers. Probably more confusing than when you started.
Truth is just about any post WWII lens is fantastic at f8-f16.
So what you should really look at is...
I use a hot glue gun. I even have black hot glue sticks.
The melted glue does not permanently stick to the metal. it works like a big rubber band except does not deteriorate like rubber.
If you...

Wow that's fantastic!
Here is one of mine:...
Thanks for the links.. maybe Ill give it a try this weekend.
Not sure about the egg case.. I'm not an expert on these things.

If love to make some fresh sourdough someday. I tried messing with a bread machine and utterly failed.
Milonian..
Yes that is the lens board I bought. Same one as scm posted.
So it appears that perhaps my Shen Hao is different than others. Maybe if I find a 1cm board it may work better than the...
Hi I'm looking for a recessed lens board for my Shen Hao 4x5 hzxii.
I have a linhof but it does not fit right. It is slightly to big for the hole.
I also tried a gaoersi brand, but the recessed...
I've tested a number of my lenses and I found that some exhibit noticeable focus shift.
For those who may not know.. for some lenses, when focused wide-open and then stopped down, the plane of...
Where is a good source for ground glass today?
I have a Shen-Hao with a wista screen/fresnel. I would like to get a plain screen. Maybe with a grid.
I know this comes up periodically.. but...
i dont have any of the longer fast lenses, but I have tried both the Xenotar and Planar in 80mm, and they are soft and have really bad CA wide open.
I dont think i would ever use them wide open. ...
if you actually read the previous page on that catalog, it describes the 300mm f6.3 as being a telephoto lens. It is listed as being suitable for a 4x5 or 2x3 camera because the short back focus...
They should all work. But one thing to note is that on my Shen-Hao, I cannot use a linhof recessed lens board. The doughnut that is recessed is just a hair wider than my Shen Hao will accept.
I...
care to elaborate? I really like FP4 in 35mm. But I have not tried Arista in 35mm, so its hard to compare.
I was very impressed with Arista 100 in 4x5 sheets. But I'm all out. I was thinking I could spend a little more and get some ilford FP4 100 or Delta 100. But is it really worth the extra cost?
Thats just silly. There can be more than one gallery of course.
Why not have an image gallery like in other forums?
The "image sharing" threads are now very long. It takes a long time to go page by page to view images, and i may not be interested in all the...
Sorry i did not respond. I was in 'get er done' mode for my class.
The example you posted above is fabulous! Did you split print the whole thing, or were you selectively dodging and burning areas...
At what aperture do you get the maximum depth of field without sacrificing detail to diffraction?

Not sure if this counts as landscape. CC welcome.

Here are two images of a bowl thistle. Fairly common around here. Not my favorite photos.. but I think its a start.
These are taken with two different lenses. the first, a 240mm G-Claron. The...
Hi everyone! I have some really high contrast negatives.
I am having a hard time printing them.
For example, I have one with shaded trees, but sky with clouds in the background.
