If you are wet mounting with the v700 does the optically coated glass on the 750 really give you that much more of a better scan? Thanks, Robert

Have a look at- The Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements by Richard Lynch. It expands the potential of Elements.

Richard, Any Korona 5 1/2" boards on hand?

I use both of these rigs that John mentions on my 8x20 and 12x20 and they both work very well. When I have to lug all the gear myself I usually opt for the Gitzo. At least it makes me think I'm...

The Ebony 20x24 has 78" of bellows and the Ebony 16x20 has 66". So the 20x24 will almost get you close to 1:1. Let's see...you'd need about 86-87" maybe. Ah hell you might as well buy both the 550...

I think the Ebony 20x24 is probably the only one that can focus that 1100 xl at 1:1. I think it has 70" of bellows. The new Canham 20x24 may have that much extension also. Of course that's not...

bglick, I think if you are willing to pay Kodak for the minimum order they will still cut to size. But you're talking about quite an investmant. Of course you can always get creative and start doing...

I'm not trying to get off topic here. But as an old contact printer I've always wondered why if I take a piece of 22x28 paper, I can lay 4 pieces of 11x14 paper on top of it to cover it. Why is it...

Sandy, I have no idea what the charts mean but I was visiting William Corey a few weeks ago and had the chance to play with his new 550 XXL. It is like the Rolex of ULF lenses. f11- f128. Robert

How does the Chamonix acrylic/plastic ground glass compare to a regular GG?...Any light flare/hot spots? Does it scratch easy? I know on their larger cameras they use this type of GG so I assume it...

I think Jim and Ole are spot on here. We are fortunate to live at a time that we have every aspect and medium at our disposal that has ever been introduced to the art of photography since its...

Thanks for posting this Colin. It is good to be reassured that closer tolerances can be obtained. Because in all the other holders I own the film gates are a lot tighter. Robert

or is it Hear! Hear!?....oh well you know what I mean

Here! Here! on cloning Ritter. (As I mentioned before in a less jovial thread.) Richard.. you should consider taking on an apprentice. Robert

In looking at both cameras it looks as though you may have greater movements with a Ritter camera. But that is just my first impression so I could be wrong. But this all depends on how much and how...

http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8795&stc=1&d=1200189828...Here are both backs. You can tell the vertical from the horizontal by the location of back mounting...

CP, Brubaker had both a holder and a back to measure from. In your previous post you said I had two backs and insinuated that I may have sent one and I'm trying to show others here the other back. ...

CP, Yes it is true I have a vertical back and a horizontal back for my camera and the holders fit neither one. Yes it is also true that Alan made some custom trays for me that leaked like a sieve and...

Colin he claims that all his holders have this much slop. But that's a lie because I have compared these to some of his 12x20 and 7x17 holders and they are twice as tight as these. What he said he...

The first pic shows 4 sheets of film being loaded into the holder. The second pic shows how the top rib that is suppose to snap over the camera back is inside of the back holding the inner rib away...

For those who are not on apug. Here are some pics of the AWB holders....

Jorge, I will be seeing my attorney on Monday. I just did the entire firms portraits in pt/pd so I will be delivering them to him on Monday. They owe me money (now that's rare for a law firm to owe...

I've tried dialog and reasoning with Brubaker. In our last phone conversation he said to return the filmholders but he would only refund 75% of my money. I said since I had ordered custom built...

Cp, You most certainly are entitled to your opinion. And I'm, entitled to mine. I don't know how old your AWB holders are. And one of my agruments to Alan was the fact that I was comparing these new...

Rob, I do have a lawyer. What we are talking about here is probably a difference of over .021. I could probably get almost that close with a hacksaw blade. I have a negative that probaly shows no...

cp, It is amazing how your position has changed from before you knew these were AWB holders. Before you claimed them to be the holy grail of film holders. Now you claim that loading 4 sheets of film...

Sandy, I know the fix will have to come after market. I think what really bothers me the most is the fact that I sent my back and holder just so I didn't have to deal with fixes the altered my...

CP, In your post on the other forum you said your AWB holders were the best fitting holders you own. ( unless that wasn't your post and if that is the case I apologize) I've also owned various...

Jorge, Ritter does great work. All you have to do is ask any Wisner owner. We've hooked up more than once. But have you seen his new cameras? Damn talk about innovative. Sandy King is now hauling...

Hi Jorge, This is an AWB holder. It has an inner rib like a normal holder but it also has a top rib or rib handle that snaps over the back when the inner locks in. The problem is in order to seat the...

Thank you Peter. Robert

Apparently the link I tried didn't work. If anyone knows how to insert a link to this conversation please do so. It is under the Ultra large Format Camera and Accessories section. Thanks, Robert

I'm posting this link to a conversation that is ongoing at the apug forum. I recently ordered and paid for custom built filmholders from AWB and the workmanship and serviced I received was downright...

Alan, That sounds like a good idea. I just spoke with Register.com and they recommend I upgrade to their web hosting program. The simple 5 page site I purchased is very limited. Such as it has no...

Being that I'm not that computer savvy. I've owned a domain name and a cheap 5 page website program I purchased from Register.com.some time ago. But I've yet to do anything with it. My goal isn't so...

For instance I have an 8x10 that weighs only 9 lb. With a reducing back I doubt it would be much heavier. (I think Richard Ritters new cameras weigh even less than that.) Then you wouldn't be...

As far as film holders go. I'm pretty sure AWB will build this format. If you give Alan a call he would probably build a reducing back to fit any 8x10 to accept the 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 format too.

I guess I could have asked this much simplier. I shoot wet plates and film. I take it this is for film in the whole plate size of 6 1/2x 8 1/2. It doesn't actually have a wet-plate back. If that is...

Is this camera for shooting 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 film? Or does it have an actual wet-plate back for loading wet-plate collodion glass plates? If it is meant for use with a film holder then it is not...

I purchased a domain name and a 5 page website about a year ago from register.com. I had plans of designing my own website but I have always found more important things to do . So I have had the site...
