Thank you both for the great detailed explanations.
Will using a recessed lens board mess up front tilt & swing by making the lens axis off centre ?
And will i still effectively be able to use front tilt's & swing's ?
thanks.
Is there any kind of MM scale on the focus rails to assist in focusing ?
If not, how easy would it be to attach one to it ?
Thanks
Thanks for that info, i may just wait for the new model. Is the Maxwell universal for all cameras, or do i have to get one that fits the Chamonix ?
BTW, Awesome photography you have there on your...
Hi. I have just sold my Horseman 45FA & am looking at buying a new body with better movements & lens compatibility. At the moment i am very interested in the Chamonix 45N-1.
I am just wandering...
Anyone ???
I came across one (Smaller Version) used for $700 (AUD)...... At the moment there are 2 available on UK ebay for 495 Pounds (each) if your interested in one. They do not have shipping other than...
Well, i have decided to get one of these: http://www.phototherm.com/sk8rh.html .
It sound absolutely perfect for me & my setup,
I am still 100% sure about the chemistry.
It looks like Fuji...
Thanks all for the advice. It looks like the Jobo would be the way to go & i just found out that it can do prints as well. Only thing that makes me think twice about it is that i really don't shoot...
Thanks for the helpful advice. One more question, How long roughly will the unused chemistry last before it goes bad ?
cheers
Hi, what is the cheapest & easiest setup, to get started in processing my own 4x5 & 120 E6 film ? The Only darkroom experience i have is loading film. Right now i am paying my local Lab (The only lab...
Is anyone aware of a calculator\tool that will calculate the Bellows Extension needed for a given Focal Length & Subject Distance ? My maths is not the best.
cheers
Does a high end dedicated Macro Lens like a (Luminar or Macro Symmar HM) Need the same amount of bellows extension as a non dedicated macro lens Of the same focal length, If focused at a subject the...
Heres a pic of a Long Horn Beetle shot on my (Horseman 45FA, 150mm Rod Sironar-N, f16, 1 sec) Uncropped.
Brian thanks for that info. If i buy a Copal #0 Shutter for it, would I need to get an Aperture scale that is calibrated for that lens ? (If i want the selected Aperture to be truly accurate) Does...
Ok, so i did a bit of digging around on Schneider Optics website & it seems to be the same kind of shutter as what is use with the current Schneider Enlarging lenses (See Attached Pic)
This is an "80mm f/5.6 Schneider Macro Symmar HM" Lens i am looking to buy, but there is no info on the shutter & i only have experience with standard Copal & Compur shutters. Does anyone know what...
Has anyone had any experience printing on any of FujiFilm's Inkjet papers ? Link: http://secure-online-server.com/fujihunt/fujifilm_professional_photo_base_media/
I wonder which one would be the...
How would a reversed enlarging lens compare to a dedicated macro like the "80mm Schneider Macro Symmar HM" Besides the price obviously.
Rupa
Thanks Dan Fromm for the info. I did a bit of searching through the forum & dug up some old threads on the subject of using Enlarging lenses in reverse. I sort of have a bit more understanding now.
...
Stupid Stupid Me, I just tried to focus the same subject but with the lens the right way around & realised that i can focus just as close. I had never tried to photograph anything that close before...
I did some experimenting the other day by trying my Super Angulon 65mm f5.6 in reverse for macro work & i was amazed. I can focus on a 1" Square object with the lens being One inch away from the...
Does any one have any problems with their loupe's fogging up ?
I find in the hot & humid weather where i live, especially after a long hike, sweating etc. that as soon as i put my head under...
Hi & thanks for the reply. PGPP stands for "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" which is the paper i am using. Anyway, in the meantime i ran a Print Head Cleaning which fixed the problem, i did a test print...
Hi. I just received my Epson 3800 today & printed a few test strips on "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" & the results i am getting are horrible. The greens look all smudged like a painting & the colors...
Thanks for that FAQ link, it should answer the rest of the questions i have to ask.
cheers - Rupa
Ok that's goot to know. One more question, roughly how many 17x34 " prints would i get, printing on Epson PGPP ( And If all Colors being used were equal) before the inks would run out ?
Edit: I...
But how could you physically put a sheet that long into the printer without the paper sagging ? I shoot 6x12, so i am looking at buying roll paper, cutting it & making 17x34" prints
If i was to buy a roll of 17" wide paper & cut it into sheets, what is the longest 17" wide sheet that i could physically put into the printer (Epson 3800) without any modifications ?
What would be the CLOSEST inkjet equivalent (Epson Pro 3800) for Fujiflex paper ?
Thanks rdenney & Emmanuel for the helpful explanation. ps, i normally don't focus by hyperfocal distance, I usually follow the method described in "Procedure II" in the "How to focus the view camera"...
Hi all. I have noticed that the "distance scales" for most lenses i see only go up to 10m & then straight to infinity, lets say i have a 150mm lens (for 4x5) & i want everything from 7.1m to Infinity...
Thanks John, i will try the method you described. I have a "Super Angulon 65mm f5.6" & i find it very hard to get it sharply focused. By the way Beautiful photography you have there.
thanks - Rupa
I have been reading the article "How to focus the view camera" (Specifically Procedure II) & i noticed near the end of the article it says that with very wide lenses, it does not apply to focus half...
Has anyone had any experience with the Nova Dip & Dunk 4x5 Film Processor with 4x5 & E6 ?

Thanks for the helpful advice. How is Velvia 100f's Exposure latitude vs Velvia 50 ?
I have recently starting off shooting 4x5 with Provia 100f & i have been exceptionally happy with my exposures & the system i am using to determine correct exposures. Recently i got some Velvia 50 &...
Heres another one of the "Barron Falls" in Far North Queensland, Australia. I had to climb right down to the bottom with the backpack & tripod at 5:30 am. Interested in some feedback.
Horseman...
Forgot to mention, at the time i took the photo i made two exposures, the second pic i posted was scanned from the other tranny.
How's this now:
