Thanks again for the responses! Sirius, you are absolutely right about the goldencolor website! Indeed she is bright... So the 24"x36" prints you had done there were darkroom prints? Awesome, good...

Hi, Thanks for the responses, greatly appreciated! At this stage I am not looking to print my own as mentioned by TGTaylor, anywhere in the bay area that will print my negs for me? If I had more...

Hi, I am travelling to the U.S mid August and was wondering if anyone could recommend some places in the above cities that do traditional color darkroom prints? Also, was wondering what the best...

Hi, I have a Sinar Zoom 2 and the Chamonix 45N-1 and it does fit.. What doesn't fit though is the markings for the roll film back that come on the Chamonix GG. Apparently the Sinar placement is...

Hi, I currently have a Chamonix 54 and a couple of lenses on it.. I am looking to buy a 810 and was wondering if there was a camera back made that lets you place a 5x4 Fuji Back in various parts of...

Hi, I mainly use my Epson for scanning my 5x4 negatives as I am hopeless at reading what they actually look like. I generally use this as a rough proof and have my negs scanned with a flex tight but...

Hi, Thanks again for the responses! I have recently been able to borrow a friends 90mm RB lens and been able to hold it in front of my Chamonix and as previously noted, just misses out on covering 5...

Hi, Thanks so much for the reply, greatly appreciated!! Will look at getting one of these as I mainly plan to shoot wide open portraits and therefore don't mind if it gets a mushy towards the...

Hi, Was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the Image Circle is for this lens? Was wondering if it will cover the Polaroid pack film size of 4.25 x 3.25? I did look at the Schneider website...

Wow! That is an impressive setup! What format do you shoot with it? Thanks so much again, look forward to hearing about the results... Cheers Josh

Hi Daniel, Thanks so much again for the post, very informative indeed! I have never seen this camera but sounds extremely interesting! Thanks for checking to see if you can get a full length, much...

hi Daniel,, thanks so much for the response! Good to hear of someone looking to use similar lenses to me.. In your experience with the 150mm Xenotar, are you able to get a full body standing...

Hi, Thanks to everyone for their responses, much appreciated! So, the reason I am inquiring particularly about the Sinar 6 x 7 back is because I have had good results with the Multi Format back and...

Ok, Thanks so much for all the responses, greatly appreciated! So it is as much a matter of the lens physical hitting the mirror as it is about lens coverage/projection? So I guess my Xenotar 150mm...

Cool, Thanks so much for the responses! So it may just be a matter of sticking these things onto my large format camera and using them that way.. Are there any other options that you guys can think...

Hi, Thanks so much for the reponse! i don't actually have the camera unfortunately so can't do my own measurements.. Would you be able to elaborate on what effect the mirror has on lenses and how...

Hi, I am interested in purchasing one of these, mainly for the use of 3.25 x 4.25 Fuji instant film... Was just wondering what the widest lens I can use on this is? I know 150mm or so is the...

Ok, thanks so much. Do you know if they slide underneath the groundglass by any chance? Also, how rare are these? I have never seen them with any google search I have done.. Ok, thanks again..

Hi, Was just wondering if Sinar made a 6 x 7 roll film back that slides under the ground glass? I thought I read somewhere that they did but cannot find any information on it.. I have the variable...

Hi, Sorry it has been a while since I have logged in here and forgot I had posted this.. Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread, it has been very informative...

Erie, thanks for the...

Great, thanks so much for all the help and responses! Will have a play with the 210mm and take it from there! Best Regards Josh

Cool, thanks so much! Movements wouldnt be too extreme, maybe just enough to get someones eyes sharp on a close up portrait, when shooting them at an angle. Something like that anyway. Is it going...

Hi Paul, Thanks for the response.. When you say that the 105mm 2.4 was close to covering, what are you referring to? A full 5 x 4 frame? Or a much smaller format (like 3 and a quarter )? Thanks.

Thanks so much once again for all the responses! It is very helpful! I will contact Francis and see if he can help. In terms of the shutter, I was planning to throw it into one of the new Shen Hao...

Sorry, what focal length is that of the full body portrait of the girl in woods? Great image by the way, was front tilt used? Thanks

Thanks so much, pretty much as I expected I guess. Maybe i am better off with a lens that is designed for the 6 x 9 format but is still relatively fast. I know that there is a Xenotar 100/105 2.8...

Hi, I realise that this is not a large format lens as such but I am planning on attaching it to a large format camera and using it with a roll film back for portraits. Am looking to try and find the...

Hi, I saw on Quans intro page to large format photography that when he first started on 5 x 4 that he had an extension back that allowed him to take 5 x 7 format. I would be very interested in this...

Fantastic information, I have also been thinking about this? Has anyone ever done the maths on what it works out per sheet? Also, is it possible to develop 5 x 7 format at home? Ok, thanks so...

Thanks so much for the responses and yep, will let you know when I see it.. Eddie, I have had the exact same idea but never actually put it into action so it is good to know.. Deniz, what do you...

Hi Eddie, Thanks for the reply, just to clarify, mine wasn't hand checked, as I have also run into some idiots at security (this is a worldwide phenomen by the way)!!! Was wondering how many times...

My deepest sympathies, hopefully it is still useable.. I have also been travelling and am not sure if this question has been asked and answered but how many times have people put film through an...

I couldnt see a listed price for this one? Any idea?

The camera looks great! I agree that the quality of the finish in the Chamonix line of cameras is absolutely beautiful.. I have the original Chamonix 45N-1 and was hoping you could elaborate on...

Hmmmm, yes, extreme indeed... I am not sure why I tend to go down that path but it often seems the way. Oh well... Still the last test roll I did was very encouraging then as all shots came back...

Hi, Thanks everyone for all the responses and suggestions, much appreciated! I shot another test roll with it, with various objects and distances, this time also using a 210mm 5.6 as well as the...

Nice one! Will give them a try today! Thanks so much, much appreciated!! Cheers Josh

Hi Rayt, Just noticed you are based in Hong Kong? I am currently also in Hong Kong and was wondering if you knew of any places that might sell 160NC? I did see some in a shop in Stanley Street,...

Thanks so much, will hunt that place down and see what I can find. Thanks again, much appreciated! Cheers Josh
