You will notice that the pivot point for the lensboard is actually above the lock knobs, so in effect there is a bit of focus shift in the image. I too, love my 45SU, great choice you made!
I recently photographed a historic building for a client and I used lensed ranging from 58mm to 150mm. Most of the images were done with a 72mm and 90mm. I had a 240mm and 305mm but they never got...
Nice site! If you are not adversed to linking to a custom black and white lab, sure!!!

As long as you have some way to adjust the side to side leveling, a video head can work just fine.
G-Clarons are really great. I used to have the 270, and currently I have the 240 and 305.
I have printed many of Bill's images from Greece, and can attest to the beauty of the area.

It is too bad you have a price limitation. I had used a Tech III for many years and then I got a Tech V for a short while and then a Master Tech 2000, which had so many issues I returned that and...
I say Ebony! I have a 45SU after owning or using a great many makes and models of both filed and monorail cameras. You will not be dissapointed.
I am pretty sure you do not drop the bed. To avoid vignetting from the bed of the camera you must have the ground glass in the horizontal position only.
...Oy..!
I find this forum, www.forum.rickresource.com, to be one of the friendliest and honest forums I have been involved with. It is also extremely informative with a lot of knowledgeable folks on it,...
I do primarily wet darkroom for personal work, all wet darkroom for my business Labwork - The Black & White Lab www.labwork-bw.com. I do have a digicam for posting things on forums and to photograph...
I live in NE Ohio. I use both my 90 and 58 quite a bit, especially the 58 for woodlands and rivers, cascades, waterfalls, etc.
I have seen a resurgence of old customers of mine that went digital, now coming back to my lab with good 'ol b&w film! I haven't asked why, but my guess is that spending all that time in front of...
You will need a LOT of patience!
I use a Microsight all the time, they are excellent grain focusers. And I too, put a piece of paper under it!
I used to own a Wista 45VX, which is the same camera sans the RF. It has plenty of movements for what you want to do and IMO is a better camera than the Toyos I have used in the past. Because of...
Essentially, it just plugs in and gets screwed down.
I do not know how to post a pic of this but I can e-mail you a small photo showing the right angle pc connector and the way it connects to the electrical contacts in the shutter. The pic shows the...
The pc connector on my Copal 1 shutters are the straight up kind and they attach with two screws, one on either side of the connector, same as the right angle one I got from Linhof. Perhaps we are...
I looked at my Copal 0 and Copal 1 shutters and the PC connectors are the same, and attach the same way.
A very good thing to do when composing on the groundglass is to leave a bit of room all around as most negative carriers do cut off some of the image at the edges. I leave at least 3/16" all around....
When I got a Linhof recessed lensboard for my 58XL, it came with a kit of parts including a right angled PC socket to replace the straight one that was on the shutter. All I had to do was unscrew...
I'd be more concerned about tragic radiation! Stock away, for the most part you may have to print through the base fog. Has anybody used antifog tablets with film?
There's the Devil's Punchbowl near Victorville, Ca.
I have an Ebony 45SU with 5 lenses ranging from a 58XL to a 305 G-Claron. Along with most accesories, I fit all this in a Lowepro Photo Trekker AW. Works great. I do use the day pack on it for...
"With all the talk lately about Ilford's 'imminent demise'"
That is exactly what it is: talk (as in rumours)! If you really want Ilford to go down the tubes, jump ship. However, if you use and...
Why not make the mask out of clear acetate with the guide marked in black, pretty simple it seems.
BTW, From a October 1, 1963 pricelist I have, it sold for $560.00!
From a Deardorff brochure that I have on the 8x10 Studio camera it lists the height of the columns as 4'3", hope this helps.
You didn't mention what lenses you have, but for anything no longer than 500 tele , you might want to consider the Ebony 45SU, as that is superb for architechure and landscape work. I use the...
One camera not mentioned is the Linhof Technikardan, that should also work for your needs.
Sounds like an Arca Swiss.
My understanding is to never deal with someone off ebay, especially after an auction ends and the seller contacts you to try and complete a sale. This is just one of many tactics used by...
Make sure you use more than the recommended minimum to ensure even development. I usually use about 800ml and I get amazingly even processing. I tested it by shooting an evenly lit grey seamless...
I know of someone with a signed copy of Yosemite and the Range of Light he wants to sell. If this is inappropriate, please delete this, thanks.
I have Ilford MG 500 systems on three Omegas and one on an 8x10 Saltzman. Great setup.
Why not talk to Joel at Ilford in technical support.
Personally I prefer to have a little extra room all around my images so that I don't run into any such problems. Just putting the negative in my Omega negative carrier can cover a tiny bit of the...
