In my darkroom it had been done by a shop specialized in the construction of venting systems. This is the outcome:

As you can see if you look closely, there is a large slit over the whole...
You made my day
I have them too. Looking nearly the same but not that large. Really annoying.
I think this will be technically impossible, no matter what size the lens is. Folded, the front is lying flat on the base board without any space between.

You may try to bleach it off the print with a tiny amount of bleach on a toothpick and retouch the then white line afterward. I have done this on a RC print where using a sharpy is no option. Even on...
If these .1 to .2 % are high flying large birds of rare, endangered kinds like eagles mostly, even these small quotes can endanger the whole population in their respective region.
Nice example for a...
May be it is a good idea not to let the carrier handle the customs. You should advise the arrival of the parcel to the customs office in charge of your region. So you yourself are able to explain to...

May be I have shown this in the landscape thread already. It was done with my then new to me Chamonix and a 150mm Symmar before I fixed the focusing issue.

I do landscape in square mostly though not large format. They are not necessarily centered. Here some examples from my website

You know, the British are infamous for abusing ULF-Cameras for dark and dangerous purposes. Germans seem to be considered harmless. No problem here. :D
May be some temporary glitch, I'd try...
I suggest having a look at the Expedition line of Tamrac. Very well made backpacks with good suspension system.

Try it with fotoimpex

I have never seen this definition of photography concisely condensed into so few sentences. It's just perfect.

Duty on Cameras are peanuts. In Germany VAT is 19%, I don't know about UK. In the EU you have to pay Import VAT in the same amount as as normal VAT in the respective country. VAT differs between...
For Germany that's easy. You'll have to pay about 5% customs on your payment including shipping. On that you'll have to pay 19% Import VAT. As a rule of thumb: To get it onto your tripod you'll...
I've been there about this time last year. I'd like to have taken your picture. I've screwed up mine. Didn't match the hight contrast there.

Can't say for sure, but may be it's Ashness Bridge somewhere between Keswick and Grange. The Lake in the background is Derwant Water.

I never did get a wrong reading with mine. I am strictly doing B&W, so one stop off must not necessarily show up though.
All what can happen is that your highlights blow out or your shadows drown...
Additionally I've used it in The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Norway and UK at cash machines. For some reason the POS-Terminals in shops and gas stations mostly don't seem to work with...
I think it's not about distrust. Dealing with credit card companies is extremely expensive for German retailers. AFAIK the companies charge about 3% of the transaction volume. In many cases it is as...

What about a Shen Hao PTB 54 should be about 600€ including VAT. For 150€ and a little patience it should be possible to get an older 150mm in good condition.

Hi,
I think this is quite simple. It is part of a series am on.

Chamonix 4x5, f5,6/150mm Sironar, Delta 100, MG IV RC
Funny coincidence in a triangle of thousand miles. It's really a pity we missed each other this near. But may be some day we take the time for our walk around Stac Pollaidh which we didn't have the...
I've thought about it. It's a pity I didn't know by then but I think at least your family did live next door (may be you haven't been there for some days?). We were the couple with the border...
Ah, Achnahaird farm. We've had a nice week there last July.

Most of these camera parts are slats (is this the right term?) These are safe to work with on woodworking machines as far as they are long enough. Once they are cut to their final length they become...
Falls of Kirkaig, Assynth, Scotland
Taken during our summer holidays last year.

This is not exactly right. The way the plate is mounted on the Chamonix does not allow for variations in the thickness of the plates. They have to be exactly 2mm thick. I once got one of 1.7mm and it...
So this is mine:

A very old Homrich enlarger with Chromega E head. Ahead on the wall is the box with the fan of the venting system to be seen. The...
To me, with the focusing problem resolved, the Chamonix is a fine camera. But the levels (on my N-1) are completely useless. Levels this tiny can not be of the precision they need to be to setup the...
It is my hope, you are at least not on the ignore list of Hugo Zhang already.

"Torch" or "electric torch" seems to be the British term for "flashlight". Does that make sense to you? Otherwise you simply can take off the bellows, as Peter said. Thank you Peter, I didn't think...
You are looking for one of these.
Ulrich
There are only two practical ways to fix the problem I know of:
1. Remove the fresnel. Some say that it is impossible to use a loupe together with a fresnel anyway.
2. Correct for the focus...
I've just checked with my 45N-1 but the design should not be that much different to the 45N-2 in this respect. The minimum bellows draw is indeed 45mm. The front standard and the back standard are...
Thank you Ivan. This is encouraging me to do the swap an mine as well.
