Does anyone have any updates for this same question in 2009?

I am interested in shooting high quality architecture & interior images. Besides a high-end DSLR with a PC lens and a little...

OK-- so the final resolution to the problem of getting a Fuji instant film back to fit under the ground glass of an older Calumet 4x5....

I was able to buy 2 new 'springs', i.e. long flat metal...

I just found this wikipedia website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notch_code). Since the notches are evenly spaced, I think it is probably Delta 400 Professional (Old).

I came across some old film that I have written on the box "Ilford". The sheets have 3 half-circle notches right in a row with equal spacing. Can anyone identify the film for me? I looked it up in...

I think you are correct-- apparently, I have the smaller spring but it seems that there is a larger one available as a spare part from Calumet. I will update this post when I finally get it all...

Thanks for making that point. I wasn't forcing it in because I didn't want to mar the back in case I have to return it.

From what I can tell, a graflok won't mount to this kind of old-school back (see pic). The perimeter screws are for attaching the fixed bellows, I...

I'm having a problem with getting instant film backs to fit under the ground glass on my old-school Calumet camera. I had a Polaroid 545 that worked fine but unfortunately, the film isn't available...

Robert: Thanks for the additional info. I guess I hadn't ever seen a list of the filter conversions, only the chart of the diameter ranges falling in each Series. Seems like its not so easy to find...

This is an old thread, but I am working on configuring a filter setup for two Ektar lenses I have, so maybe someone can help. I may go with the home-made 'step-up ring with foam solution' if I can't...

Good question. I have one but I'd like to have another so I don't have to switch it between lenses. I'm afraid I'll drop it and lose it!

I have one of these bayonet adapters that lets me use a regular pc sync cord. Here are some pics... first without and then with the adapter.
