Larry,
You need to check on the Ebony website becasue there is an alternative configuration for wide angle lenses that will answer all your concerns. It's this configuration that the 60mm mininum...
Your Tachihara takes Linhof Technika style lensboards. The 1/4 inch thick block of wood will not work. Companies such as Midwest Photo, Adorama, and Badger Graphics, to name a few, have aftermarket...
I spoke with Jeff at Badger Graphics several months ago and he said the field camera was not a Shen Hao or a Tachihara.
I've used this lens for 4x5 work but don't think it is suitable for 8X10. The info I have states that the image circle is only 270mm at f22.
Pierre, it seems your camera had a manufacturing error. The back tilt support arm should move freely on the rivited (fixed) post which is now broken. Obviously, that was not happening and I can't...
Paul, I'm really shocked by your printing times. I have the same enlarger and while I usually print from 4X5 negatives I haven't noticed excessively long printing times with medium format...

I have found that the good...
Scott, I would check with the folks at Light Impressions. They have several interesting choices. I personally am very happy using individual mylar interleaving holders which then slip into...
Roger, the Tachihara is pretty light but is a bit much for the model 3001 Bogen tripod. I don't whether your photographs will improve, but I think you'll find that shooting with a sturdier tripod...

Neil is correct it may be best to measure. My 150mm Nikkor appears to be current generation based on the photo at the B&H website although it does not have an "A" designation. It came standard...
Just for grins I did a search under "lpl" and came up with 31.5" x 23.75" as the baseboard size for the model 7452. That would match up to the Saunders 4550xlg not the 4550II.
This older lens is of the tessar design. It may work well but unless Mr. Grimes can put it into a used shutter very inexpensively I question whether it would be a cost effective thing to do. You...
Doug, while the current Caltar's are made by Rodenstock, I believe this lens is a repackaged Schneider Symmar S. Coverage at this focal length is not an issue for 4X5. For this lens it is listed ...
You can probably get this info from the calumet website. The filter size is most likely 40.5mm, especially if the lens is a caltar IIe (i.e., a rodenstock geronar).
Dileep,
I might disagree with Paul just a little. While a 150mm lens is ideal for 4x5, a well made 135mm lens (el nikkor, rodagon, or componon s), when stopped down one or two stops, should be...
Have you checked with Badger Graphic? If not, give them a call since they do sell Toyo products. In my experience I've been found them to have excellent prices and service on a variety of large...
Someone with Omega D2 experience will probably chime in with a specific answer but it sounds like you may be using the wrong lens board.
