Hello - thinking of one of these for a longhaul trip to New Zealand coming up. my question is whether my gear will go in it. Im taking:
Ebony 45SW
Really Rightstuff BH55 Ball head
Really...
I just bought one of these as i am in need of something wide for my 4x5 Kit (widest i have is 105mm at the moment). I shoot Landscapes - usually with plenty of light but sometimes dusk and long...
Robert White or Ffordes here in the old country. Tax and shipping may make this prohibitive and the prices arent bargains in the firts place...however you did ask...
...
might be worth contacting eddie hill here in the uk. He owns the rights to manufacture Gandolfi. When i bought mine from him a few years back he was selling secondhand film holders. You can google...
i missed out on 4x5 and dived straight in the deep end with 8x10...for the sheer challenge of it and the incredible quality. There has been more than one occasion when i have thought better of it -...
Hi there ran a search on this topic but couldnt quite find waht i was after. I shoot field camera 10x8 and 617 with a reduction back. I am thinking of getting a viewfinder - borrowed a friends Fuji...
The problem fixed itself! (and revealed the depth of my stupidity). I Read Steves reply a few times - esp. his comments re the deardorf design. Eddie (the current Mr Gandolfi) also suggested a fix....
OK, I had a planned to use my Gandolfi 8x10 as a base for a 617 back - got a spare back made with a canham roll film holder, sourced a good Super Symmar 110xl in Scotland and finally put the whole...
Thanks all for theinput. The way it is working out, i may have up to three days or so there after my biz ends...never having put the gaer together for a long haul flight i now have to figure out how...
I might be travelling here in a few weeks time on business and I am trying to manufacture a few hours to shoot a few pictures. Options appear to be flying to Montrose or Grand Junction and getting a...
it seems as though everyone is negative about film at the moment (this weeks news re Kodachrome is mainstream...) I get a lot of stick from guys in my (day job) office who think I am mad dragging...
Indeed - he built a fantastic set up for my Gandolfi 8x10 it's a pleasure to carry (although a bit heavy) and means i can get virtually anywhere with it, a couple of lenses, a few film carriers and...
I am expecting delivery of my 617 back (to go on a 10x8 field camera) and wanted to ask what a good starter lense would be. I am thinking of either a 90 or 105mm Schneider for 617, however I notice...
Mine looks the same however is a Zone VI modified one - do you have an emailable version of the Manual?
I have just purchased a used spotmeter which is badged as modified by "Zone VI" however, i understand it was originally manufactured under the brand Soligor and later re badged as an Adorama product....
Or perhaps buildings that fall down on their own (like a neat controlled demolition) that haven't even been hit by a plane.
We are off topic - this isn't a conspiracy theorists site after all...
thanks guys for the help here i actually played around on google earth today with buildings all running on 3d to get an idea - i would think that the Triboro would give you a good panorama but at...
Thankyou - i actually checked what he said on the BBc news website and he did say TriBeCa - however i guess Triboro makes more sense - looking at Google earth it's further up Manhattan, so to speak....
A veteran Broadcaster here in the UK, David Frost, once said that his top three views of man made objects were Concorde, The Sydney Opera House and the View from the TriBeca bridge in the early...
that's interesting - i would imagine it's a fabulous pro camera. i might be tempted if they produce the fabled "x". However, i don't earn my living taking photographs which, i imagine, helps to...
that's where i bought mine - Robert White here in the old country were out of stock...
yes - after quite a lot of posting and opininion hunting i bought a Gitzo 1570m which so far is very goog - to be hoonest the big thing for me is having the ability to be able to put two screws into...
correct - its a Gandolfi Traditional 8x10. Its funny one of you mentioned a DSLR as the budget for this camera was originally reserved for a nikon D3. Then i saw the light...as it were...
apologies - got so excited i forgot to include the rubbish photo...
Arrived today...it is a thing to behold. Six months wait was well worth it. Thanks to those who have answered my questions re heads and lenses...if it weren't for the terrible weather i would be...
funnily enough i rang them this afternoon (London time anyway) - spoke to a guy who was very helpful and he explained that the build quality and pressure plate design on the Canham is better - but at...
Lachlan - could you point me to a manufacturer?
I am considering one of these incorprated into a spare back for my 8x10 - does anyone have any experience of using one of these - any pit falls i should avoid?
...
love that expression "lounge approriate formats"
thankyou all for your posts
a company i have some association with has sponsored a photographer here in London called Rob Carter. He uses a Revolving Lense Camera and has produced some interesting images in a book called...
Thanks guys - all ordered from Badger Graphic and have spoken to the hotel who have even offered to put the package in the fridge when it arrives.
As an aside does anyone know why Fuji dont make a...
no - i am after some Fuji 160 10x8 negative film. I note that they only seem to do the S version which is a shame - i think the C is far better. Thanks for all your replies.
i am going to be in LA next week and would like to get some 10x8 (or even 8x10) film delivered to the hotel i am staying at - I am assuming it is cheaper in the states - most things are...does anyone...
probably not too practical for you, but you could get them from Robert White in the UK - i had the same problem with a Symmar s 240mm i bought a couple of weeks ago - no caps (just a Ben and Jerry's...
Excuse my ignorance, Christopher but what do you mean by Cube - my Ball Head?
I have a BH55 Pro which if i don't keep tight (on the friction knob and the main lock knob) will flop over even...
Thanks, Frank - its a Gandolfi traditional. You may be right in that i may have to go with a heavier Tripod - maybe a Manfrotto Studio sort of thing. I will look into a magnesium Gitzo - the guy...
I imagine this has been discussed before - i ran a search on some of the issues in my question and got some feedback, but couldn't find exactly what i was after.
I have bought a Gandolfi 8x10...
The Schneider is a 240mm F5.6 Symmar S MC / Copal 3. Upon further investigation the mark is a scuff in the multi coating on the glass - they claim that it will not affect the performance. I...
Hi there - new to this forum and this type of photography - having been using MF for a long time, I have moved up - I have purchased 10 x 8 camera and need a couple of bits of advice...
1) lense -...
