I don't know about mytongguy, but when I ordered my bellows last september from Rudy through ebay (as ecbuyonline2008), I dealt with both Rudy and Jukie via e-mail. They work together. Jukie e-mailed...
great news! Glad to hear it.
Awesome, hope it works out for you!
Hi wilderness,
Is the solution to your problem simply turning off the option to scroll through images in the directory using the scroll wheel?
If this is the case, you can disable the option to...
Thanks for adding some depth behind this area of research Nodda. Regardless of the necessary and healthy levels of skepticism, I suspect/hope most who work in the digital medium see it as an exciting...
The results are comical, but when you see the file they had to work with its pretty impressive. Figure 7 shoes some issues with the texturing smooth features adjacent to patterned features that are...
I would say it all depends on what you mean by "valid" :) The rest is rather objectively defined in the article.
You can try it out for yourself! However, their code downsizes your image to make low-res examples (i.e., to see if their method can produce something similar to the original (ground truth). If...
I read this article a little while ago and thought some may be interested in advancements in digital image enhancement technology that (fingers crossed) may become available/applicable for...
I suppose there are also market considerations that would affect pricing over time. I simply availed to the US Dept. of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) consumer price index (CPI) inflation...
Maybe not what they were going for in '89, but I think with inflation, $750 in 1989 would have the same purchasing power as ~$1500 today. I wonder how B&H sets their pricing for 4x5 cameras (not a...
there are some excellent resources from members of this forum that indicate this lens has an image circle of 280 mm @ f22 - too small for 8x10
xkaes very well organized and complete list of...
Hi Dan,
Just curious, did the mask work?
These tripod heads are excellent. I doubt you will be disappointed.
A required precaution is to always ask the ebay seller regarding certain aspects of the items that are not described in the auction listing. For example, lens condition may be described but shutter...
This may not flow with the progression of this thread so far, but I thought I would contribute what I can.
I have had success with a minolta md 100mm f/4 macro lens shooting at f/8 using a sony...
I just received new bellows from Rudy (ECBuyonline) for an ebony SV45Ti and they are stunning. The seams for these particular bellows are barely visible and properly placed on the underside of the...
I appreciate that interpreting online writing is rife with misconceptions about the writers intent. So perhaps your comments were not meant to be snide. I also recognize that the anonymity allotted...
This is pretty hostile xkaes. You must recognize how your language here is directed at me personally. So far throughout this thread you've referred to me as a "glorifier', not even "half-hearted" or...
Yea for sure, and I haven't offered my understand of it in this thread. I don't really want to go into it because describing it wasn't the intended theme of this thread. My goal in using it as a...
Your description is of alpine climbing. You'd have to be a mad man (or woman) to go alpine climbing with a 4x5 kit now that there are good digital options. Check out Jimmy Chin's work, and yes, he...

UPDATE: Based on advice/suggestions of many, I purchased the following:
FLM CP-26; CB-38 FII head, SRB-40 clamp, QRP-70 plate with two Q1/4" screws.
I thought I'd give a little review of the...
Talk to Kumar. He'll ship to Canada with EMS->Canada Post (excellent combination IMO).
As far as the lenses are concerned. I can only comment on landscapes. I agree with others about the Fujinon...
I just recently acquired this plate system and am very satisfied with it. I hope you enjoy it too!
Patrick
The wista 45n was my first 4x5 camera. I works just fine for landscapes with plenty of movements. Also have been a few for cheap on ebay lately (45d as well).
Having a wood camera now as well,...
[QUOTE=xkaes;1393613]If you are looking for Wista/Linhof extensions, he's a guy who sells them -- and many other things.
awesome, thanks!
Excellent. And how about the length of the rings?
Patrick
Thanks, Kumar. Do you by chance know the width of the rings? I'm wondering how much extra flange I can get with these.
Does anyone know the measurements for the Wista adaptor ring sets (#4570 or #4569)? I can't find how much extra flange focal length it will provide.
I also can't find much info on the difference...
Hi songyun,
With F-stop bags, the ICU compatibilities are listed on a product tag that comes attached to the bag. This is a little frustrating for online buyers. When you have the Loka UL bag...
Hi Jerry,
That trip sounds amazing. I plan on climbing Athabasca's neighbour, Andromeda, in late June.
Here's a shot of me in front of Athabasca's south face trying to explore the east arm....
Impossible indeed. There are so many single peak objectives in the banff, jasper, kananaskis area that don't require multiday trips though. When backpacking approaches are necessary, camping gear is...
Lets consider a high wind scenario. I'm going to say 30 kph, above that I probably wouldn't even consider setting up to shoot in an alpine environment.
Photographer A has lower quality tripod...
aw man, seeing your kits makes me want to get out there and shoot! The custom rig you have on that T 600 looks real nice.
Good sir, perhaps you mistake me for a charlatan. :) Many do tend to glorify their activities. If you understand the difference between hiking/backpacking and mountaineering, than you already know...
Coming back to the original theme, xkeas which tripod(s) have you brought the the middle of the Great Sand Dune National Park, and if you've done any mountaineering, which tripod(s) did you use?
All good ideas. One issue I have with the anchor hook is that when I'm setting up lower down, the weight (i.e, my pack|f-stop lotus) ends up touching the ground and provides less and less benefit,...
I've read a few posts here regarding acceptable tripods for 4x5, but none catered specifically to mountaineering where low weight is absolutely a necessity (if you're too tired to climb or climbing...
