And they will drop in but won’t let the sliding locks close completely on a Norma 8x10 reducing back...or at least not on the one I have

Found what I was looking for at the cameraeccentric web site.

I’ve got two 480mm Pantar cells in an Ilex #5 shutter and hope someone here can answer questions about coverage for both cells and a single cell, and whether it makes a difference if the single cell...

I've got a new unmounted bellows for a Deardorff V8 and it appears to be just a bit too small to fit over the rear frame lip.

I noticed that three of the four corners appear to have been lightly...

Had a Wehman, sold it, and miss the deceptively simple design and ruggedness.

I was sharing several lenses with someone who had a Deardorff V8, and only wish the Wehman took the same lens board,...

thanks for the info.

There's a good chance I didn't word my query correctly, but searching lfphoto and google for everyone else didn't turn up the difference between an older 360mm Sironar and the later Sironar-S and...

it looks like you're missing the machined rail this is supposed to engage -- or is it present and just not visible in this photo?

does anyone have a source for the 3m tape in 2" widths that's shorter than 72 feet?

My google search found plenty of vendors for the 72' length, and all of the other colors except black for the...

one advantage of using the sinar shutter for multiple lenses is that you've only got the one shutter to keep track of actual speeds vs. what's on the dial, especially if you're shooting chromes.

consider an 8x10 cambo.

for some reason, these are the rodney dangerfield's of the large-format world, garnering little respect, and this is reflected in the low prices they typically sell for.

It's been a while since I've had one, but if I remember correctly, an 8x10 frame on a 4x5 rear standard doesn't allow much in the way of movements, and a 4x5 front standard pretty much requires you...

another vote for a Feisol -- I'm using it with an Arca ballhead, but only because it's easier to just leave it on for use with long lenses on the Canon.

For me Photoshop was an easy choice because of the number of books available for everything from a complete novice to the sophisticated stuff that I've never had a need for but glad to know is...

The Gitzo 5-series tripods have the advantage of being about as indestructible as you could hope for in exchange for being heavier, and easily disassembled for cleaning out any muck or sand that...

if you're putting a kit together piecemeal, be aware that there are two different 8x10 bellows with slightly different frame sizes for the rear section, with both types having the same dimensions for...

It looks like I'm in the minority, using an Arca ball head & QR plate on top of a Feisol for a Deardorff 8x10

I prefer the QR plates more for the convenience of not having to try and align the...

I'm in a similar situation with an old and ugly 5-series Gitzo that I've decided to keep and use when (if) I ever need to set up a tripod in water/mud/whatever that I don't want to subject my Ries...

I just received a lens in a copal 0 where the shutter has something lightly rattling inside. the cocking lever is also a little loose and adding noise if it's not secured.

but even with the...

there's a pic of one on ebay, item# 190247319297, for $15

it looks like this has the 4x5 mount--I believe all of the 8x10 cambos had a dual-clamp arrangement to manage the longer rail.

it's fairly easy to make something out of wood that will help secure...

It's been about two years since I spoke with him, and he went out of his way to fax me an exploded diagram of my camera to make sure I was ordering the right parts.

I took a few calls before I...

I've had similar problems with a 1370 head and had some success cutting off the plastic handles and replacing them with wooden ones.

It still takes more effort to *really* lock this down, and...

KROIL penetrating oil is about a thousand times better than the stuff you normally find in a hardware store--the downside is that it can be difficult to find without some help from google, smells...

where are you located? I've got one for a Cambo Legend that I'm going to sell later this month, but I'm in Oregon and it's fairly heavy--ATA-style locks and a thin sheet of aluminum over a plywood...

I had a similar problem finding a replacement for mine, and ended up having a small machine shop make the shaft for around $20 and I added a wooden handle.

If you go this route, you'll want to...

I just received a Technika V with an incomplete back -- all of the hardware that you'd need to mount a rollfilm (or rollex) back is completely missing, making it impossible to use the camera with...
