Brian, does the Ebony bellows focusing hood require a Graflock back in order to fit correctly, or will it fit the Tachi?

If you don't focus using the gg, how do you focus accurately? (excuse my ignorance but I have no idea about these cameras). :o

Thanks Leonard. This is very comprehensive. I may have to read it a few more times with camera at hand, so I can practice. This is the type of explanation I was looking for.

Your calculation also...

It's usually more than a couple of degrees. That's why I imagine I am doing something wrong as everyone on this forum talks about how little tilt is required. I have a Tachihara so I can't measure...

Ok. So let me get this right...
1. Focus in the middle of the scene (either one or two thirds into the scene).
2. Use front or back tilt to get the foreground in focus.
3. Stop down to get the...

Hi all,

An embarassing newbie question...(Please note: I am only practicing camera movements at this stage and have not even used any film as yet (still waiting on darkroom equipment to arrive). ...

You are right John. The CPE is not compatible with the 3006 drum and the Jobo processors are scarce in Australia. I have someone in Melbourne who may consider selling their CPA (but no lift) which...

Thanks everyone.

I'm surprised there isn't any health issues involved with these chemicals. I have read many posts which indicated exposure to E6 chemicals was unhealthy and not great for the...

Hi all,

Processing 4x5 here in Australia is expensive (approx. US $10 (ouch baby!)), so processing at home is a must. I have never processed slides before and I have heard that E6 chemicals are...

LOL! I am trying to imagine this happening in Sydney...it would be as crazy as everyone in SF driving on the other side for a day..

Sydney is a very hectic city these days......BTW, for anyone who...

Wow! If you people are an indication of the hospitality I'm going to experience in SF, then I'm in for a great holiday!

Thanks heaps for your advice. Not sure where I'm staying as this is a spare...

Hi all,

I'mg travelling to San Francisco on vacation for 10 days from Sept. 8 and need some general advice as this will be my first time to this city (and only my second time to the US (I'm from...

Emmanuel..brilliant...very comprehensive...Thanks!

Either the Rodenstock x4 or the Silvestri (which apparently is better for viewing the corners) look like a good choice loupe for me.

Thanks to...

Cristiano,

Can you confirm whether the bag bellows can be used on the TZ? I was under the impression (I'm probably wrong) that it couldn't!

Cristiano,
I received this information from Robert White, when enquiring about this camera, in case you wish to go wider than 150mm in your lens choice....

Thanks for the advice. Disappointing about the Linhof finders, considering their price, even used.

Re: loupes, I'm not sure what a focusable loupe is? Is the Schneider or the Rodenstock...

Hi all,

Newbie advice...
I just bought an old version Linhof multifocus viewfinder from ebay, to carry around for composition purposes..great device but I cannot see the complete frame for the...

As a business, I can claim film as a tax expense but I can also claim both the camera/ lenses as well as the digital back as a depreciating asset.

My biggest issue is really in deciding which...

Thanks Evan.

Are you referring to the F Metric compact 6x9?

Hi all,

I am going to purchase my first camera with movements (but I am not new to photography!). After much forum reading, I have settled on an Arca Swiss for its precision but I'm trying to...
