Hope someone can help with this, I'm looking for an L shaped bracket to enable me to mount my shen hao 617 vertically on my tripod so the camera is over the ball head. Up until now I have used a...

No I hadn't seen that post but its very pertinent

Might seem a strange question but within photography do you ever get the feeling that everything you try to do has been done before, is there anything that would be completely new and revolutionary?

thanks everyone for your replies. I've had a reshuffle of my darkroom and moved the monorail/enlarger to a different wall so I can project the image onto the floor. With my 210mm lens with the head...

weathers not been very good today so spent the afternoon converting an old beat up devere 5x7 monorail camera into an enlarger for my 6x17 printing. The "mechanics" of the thing worked out ok, but...

I have the same reflex viewer which I use on my Toyo 45A field camera. As you say it is a great device. On the 45A I have not noticed any sag with the viewer attached. My viewer has the small chain...

i'm hoping to build a 6x17 view camera similar to the shen hao 617, the camera part looks straight forward but i'm unsure about the roll film holder. Has anyone constructed a detachable 6x17 back...

wow this is all pretty depressing, i'd assumed/hoped that in the 10 years since i shot stocks on velvia, technology would have moved forward and made it possible to produce good prints from...

I would only be thinking of scanning 6x9, 6x12 and 4x5, so was hoping the v700 would be OK for this

Hope you can give me some advice/bring me up to speed on hardware/methods of printing from transparencies. For the last few years I,ve been concentrating on MF/LF black and white photography in my...

Getting back in to photography now I have a bit more time on my hands and aiming to concentrate on the 6 x 17 format. Years ago I did a lot of conventional dark room work and always greatly enjoyed...

sorry i forgot to mention I'm in the U.K

I'm thinking about buying some camera equipment from a dealer in the U.S, and i'm wondering whether there are any import taxes to pay on the goods and if so how they would be collected and how much...

Hi everyone,
i'm returning to large format after quite a long absence, and i'm particularly drawn to the 6x17 format. I'm just wondering which is the best way to go as far as...
