Light Impressions used to sell it. I still have a container of it I use on my wood rails on field cameras. Check their web-site and mail order it.
I have been using a Wisner Tech Field for almost ten years with no problems and Richard Ritter can repair anything.
Bob,
Explain the Wista body that accepts the DSLR, 35mm, and MF cameras and view camera lenses please. Where can I see one of these? The Wista site doesn't show it unless I missed it. Can you...
Thank you very much everyone. Your answers were all right on target and covered the subject well. You have answered all my questions. Any further discussion is of course welcome.
With the advent of new medium format cameras for digital backs such as the Linhof Techno, Sinar Artech, and the latest Arca Swiss (can't remember it's name), how do you see such equipment in your...
I agree with Turner Reich with this addition, the Toyo G has all geared movements and is a higher end camera than the rest on your list. If you can live with the weight, it would be your best buy. ...
Has anyone used a wide angle lens, 58mm, 47mm with a Master Technika , 2000 or 3000 using the flap open to get effective rise? I am curious to know how much extra rise is possible with these lenses...
Thought I might put in my two cents even though I'm a bit late on this thread:
The Toyo cameras are underrated in my estimate and the 125VX would be an ideal choice even if a bit expensive. I've...
My deepest sympathy and condolences. I, as many others, only knew him through this forum, but he was like an old friend. I only wish I had met him in person. God's blesssings.
The VX125b has the geared rise and fall, it is the VX125R that does not have the geared rise. The VX125 is identical to the VX125b except for color and price. The VX125 is green and the b version...
Brian,
Just curious why your selling the Chamonix. Did you acquire another 4x5 or changing formats?
I own a Toyo G and have looked seriously at the VX 125. To use longer lenses you must have a longer bellows and add the extension rails. The extension rails come in 150mm(rare) and 250mm...
Thank you Tim!
I've been a full time photographer for nearly forty years now. I am having my 30th anniversary year at my studio this year and am in the same situation as many of you. How do I market my work? I...
If you go to the fotodiox and then to lens adapters on the first page you will find the 4x5 large format to Nikon adapter. The EOS adapter is the same thing with the Canon mount. I have one that I...
What no one seems to mention any more is the Wisner. Although no longer manufactured, they are a great camera and if repairs are needed Richard Ritter or others can handle the work. The key...
I'm a little late on this thread, but here goes: Take a look at the Wisner Technical Field or the Zone VI (Wisner style with 19inch bellows). There are used ones on e-bay right now and Midwest...
I have the same lens you mention. Unscrew the front element and you have the 370mm. I've used the 370 on my Wisner Tech. field and the 23 inch bellows handles it fine, but I must use a lens...
My download took over an hour (dialup), but it all came through and the download was complete. Previous issues I had to download at a friends on high speed, about a minute or less, because I would...
I have one of these devices and it is distributed by fotodiox (fotodiox.com) in the U.S.. Neat company with lots of adapters for mounting lots of lenses etc.. This adapter allows attachment of a...
I think Lenswork is one of the best photography publications out there. I find little to criticize.
Richard Ritter makes custom boards to fit any Wisner camera. There is an adapter to use Linhof Technica boards of which I have one. S.K. Grimes or Richard Ritter may be able to supply you with one...
Dean,
How can you be so insensitive in such a politically correct environment as today? Quietly possessing such an object is one thing, but displaying it to the world? I can't wait for the...
You guys crack me up, make me think, answer questions, and better yet, force me to ask more. This is a great place to be even if I can't respond to often. These questions and ponderings are the...
Dear Stompyg,
I think I bought the graflock back from B&H about 10 years ago. It is made by Wista and I think it may be still available. It is a back that replaces the wooden film holder back...
I have a Wista DXII, which is the same as yours without the rear shift. Have you figured it out yet? Once you do, practice setting it up and taking it down. Fred Picker used to have students set...
The practice of lacquering prints with Lacquer Matt, McDonalds and other sprays is an old practice mostly used for major retouching on prints. I even have a spray room that used to be dedicated to...
You may want to look at work by Hiroshi Sugimotto, particularly his photographs of three dimensional objects constructed to represent mathmatical formulas. A google search will bring many sites that...
The crossover information between formats is valuable and restrictions , I feel, would constrain the educational opportunities of the forum. I say leave it as is.
I too have been having download problems, similar to yours Scott. I'm saving to desktop and at about 75-80% it seems to load up with an icon on the desktop. Then I get this message,"There was an...
I had this happen recently only I found $18 scattered down the walkway in a park. I had just been to the site of a new sculpture installation and was on the way back to the studio pondering how to...
What type of paper are you using? Silver chloride papers go brown, red usually some warm tone depending on emulsion formula and silver bromide papers cool off going to a purple or slight blue, to...
Wonderful visual feast! I'll have more after dinner.

I use front tilt on 4x5 with portraits. I will tilt either forward or back on the front standard depending on subject matter and the background. The amazing thing is that high school seniors, I...
Dan,
I second Brian's advice about reading "Art and Fear". Two other books if you can find them are great for "writers block" and similar conditions of creative malfunctions including motivation:...
What model Toyo do you have? You may be able to slide the whole camera onto a short rail and pack it very compact. If you cut your own rail and want to leave the tripod mount attached, you can end...
The process of working in series or through a theme has roots in "The New Bauhaus" which became the "Institute of Design" in Chicago of which Harry Callahan had an important teaching influence. ...
Last time I talked to Jack on the phone (last December) he did not have a web site and being a one man operation, this may not be in the near future. His phone number is 219 464-9748.
