That is correct. It is basically a camera body without focusing cone (though some fixed close focus spacer will be provided). The production version will have a dark slide.

Hello. I have not been around for a few years since I have sold first all my 4x5 and later also my MF equipment (I miss the Rolleiflex T most of all) since I did not manage to find enough time once...
Since I do not have any 4x5" gear anymore I did not pledge, but I am very happy they made it. Could be a reason to get some sort of 4x5" P&S in the future.
Congratulations to the New55 team!
Is it still possible to get a 612 Fotoman camera (not the Dmax one)?
You guys are giving me all those (much appreciated) compliments just to get me back to large format :) I will, just give me a few ... years. Right now our little daughter and first child gets all the...
I think it does not make sense to keep what you do not use. As I learned the hard way - even some 4x5" items do not hold value that well.
Considering the longer lenses - when I look at the photos...
Thank you, I am glad you like it. I will soon have it printed in at least 20x24"
Just finishing the thread. Since all of my 4x5" gear is sold I though I will post one of my very last photographs (there were only 5 more in the course of nearly 2 years) I have taken with 4x5". This...
I have posted BW version of the photographs before - now I got a better scan and managed to save the underexposed parts of the image.
New Zealand above Glenorchy, one of my favourite areas when we...
Thank you. Some more googling revealed a full set of videos by Julieanne Kost which seem to be very interesting and detailed. My plan is to go through these and then if I would get a book with some...
Hello,
I have just installed new Lightroom 5.3 I have been using Phoshop CS3 up to now and while I am not wizard with it, I found my way. Now Lightroom looks much different and I would like to...
I completely agree. If I manage things right, than it could be Rolleiflex for me for the next few years.
Well, I am sorry to report that I failed (it is not a try failure, but it kinda feels that way) to revive my 4x5 activities. Part of that is because that we have our first child on the way and it...
Just a very quick feedback (photos will come a little later) - the backpack is here and seems to work quite well. I can fit the following in the main compartment:
- Tachihara 4x5" + compact focusing...
Thank you all. I should soon have a mint Lowepro Mini Trekker AW. The reason I went with this backpack was combination of the right size, features and price (fraction of new Flipside series). It will...
Thanks! Actually I have posted there too when I was starting with 4x5 :) It also reminded me of the Lowepro Omni series which could fit the bill too (not in production anymore) - bit on the heavy...
Hi,
I am trying to follow the advice I got in this thread and putting together a compact 4x5" setup that consists of: Tachihara 4x5, Fujinon 125/5.6 CMW, Fujinon 240/9 A, 3 film holders,...
Thanks for your support. You are correct - I am not doing it for money, I am doing it for fun. I am just no finding my time (for whatever reasons). But you are also correct that one does not need to...
Hello,
some may have noticed that my posts have become (even) less frequent in the past 2 or 3 years than before. The reason was that I found less and less time to shoot 4x5" (and using 6x6 much...
2 or 3 years back during a very nice old-timer car show. My hear got 'shorter' since then :)

I would even consider buying the full CS6 (have CS3 now), but it does not seem like Adobe is willing to offer it at a discount price which would make sense as they could pick those users who are now...
Randy, your answer might be interpreted as personal attack - you may want to use a few words more to explain your point.
This looks interesting - PSD import is possible too!

On a general not about Lightroom. There seem to be strong opinions about it. Could those that have experience with both Lightroom and...
Guys - could we please stay on topic and just share the knowledge and experience we have with other image processing software (that includes Lightroom too, of course).
So again - what can other...
And updates ;)
Given the last news from Adobe there will be many of use who will - sooner or later - look for a software to replace Photoshop.
Obviously - there is not a software that can do all the things...
I recall that Wehman 8x10 was one of the lightest camera in that format (around 3.5 kg if my memory serves me well). It seems that these are no longer in production though. Then there are cameras...
Bill, that is a great portrait.
I have just order a quick release plate from Giottos MH468 as it is equipped with a 3/8" screw and has the right length. I will let you know how (whether) it works with the VX125 in a few days.
I am considering having a dedicated plate/mount machined for the camera, the question is how much will it cost and how long will it take. SKGrimes comes to my mind, but I would prefer EU-based...
Thanks. What makes me unsure about mounting another quick release plate on the existing one is that there is only one screw one may use. When I measure the width of the thread it is approx 5/16", so...
So - my 'new' Toyo VX125 was just delivered and it is an awesome piece of mechanical beauty, but I have one little problem: how to attach the camera to a tripod. There is something that looks like a...
Even thought I have not started this thread, I have 'used' is a lot so I guess it is OK to say that I finally got a camera - namely the Toyo VX125. I do not have it my hands yet - that may take about...
I found that sending my 4x5" films to a lab and get very nice 2040 api scans made with Imacon X5 for about 7€ for 16bit file is a much better alternative to hours of time invested into getting...
Those who have read or my endless threads about cameras that mostly do not exist may rest assured - I am one for more time looking for something similar again :cool:
Now - I have a simple question...
Nah, no decision yet - I am slow when it comes to large format :)
I have simply realized that 6x12 with movements beyond a little tilt AND compact at the same time is not only hard to achieve, but...
Coming back after a while.
I realized that whatever sort of 6x12 one takes (maybe with exemption of Polaroid conversions) - all these cameras are intended to be used on tripod. The largest film...
So as I mentioned I got the Minolta Spotmeter F and it is in really good condition and works fine. But I somehow find it a bit confusing. I am not (yet) using the more clever modes - just simply...
- toyotadesigner -
I have to admit that that wold be probably the best approach to get the largest neg possible with hand-holdable camera. I will probably get the GW690III at some point to try it...
Now that is what I call creative approach :) - thank you a lot for all your advices and ideas. Let me go through there step by step
Although the original idea is NOT to use a 4x5 camera, I am...
