8x10 cameras with bag bellows?

[George Losse]

I have a bag bellows for my Wisner 8x10 Technical. I will say that it is rare that I've used it.

But Horseman OE bellows dry up and crumble

[Robert Opheim]

I have spent some time with my Calumet and my widest lens I currently have for it - 6 1/2 inch f/8 Dagor - the lens covers about as much as there are movements around an inch. I keep thinking in terms of 4x5 format - which I have been using since 1974. 8x10 is a much different format - and the tools work similarly but different.

Chamonix has a bag bellows for their 8x10, although the website shows it as “Sold Out” right now.

I have a 8x10 bag bellows for my Shen-Hao FCL810.

I have experience with a number of 8X10 cameras. I found the Toyo 810M to be the most practical and I never saw the need for a bag bellows. I have made many exposures with 150/8 Nikkor SW, Wollensak 159/12, and 120/8 Nikkor SW.

While I have not seen a Deardorff V8 or images of them with bag bellows, have seen recessed boards and recessed adaptor boards that could provide some of the desired capability, with the added difficulty of accessing the shutter controls.

Common solution for 4x5 format, specifically my Linhof Technika V with 75 / f5.6 S-A and 90 / f8 S-A on recessed Technika boards with quick connect cable release.

Did Ebony build any wide angle 8x10 cameras? If so what was their solution?

Calumet C1 can get very close to GG

no bags

no movements

New to Me 8x10 18x24cm Sinar Norma by Nokton48, on Flickr

New to Me 8x10 Sinar Norma Baggy Bellows X2 165mm Schneider Norma Super Angulon with Automated Iris Mechanism and F/Stop On Cables. Very quick to set up and I wanted a dedicated 8x10 Camera to take outside. I have a line on a 210mm F8 Super Angulon and have made arrangements to buy it soon. I purchased the 8x10 Rear Standard for 200 British Pounds from a Guy in France. Added an original 8x10 Norma Bellows for another 20 Pounds, will have Custom Leather rebuild the bellows to new specs. They made the original bellows for Sinar so still available new. So had a good Front Standard so this camera was essentially made from repurposed parts for little money. There is another Bag Bellows and Monocular on the back of the camera. Best way to view IMO

You can use indirect displacement, to increase the rise, or fall, somewhat. Deardorff listed custom bellows with price on request in their 1991 Brochure.

Berenice in her how to use the view camera book, is shown using a indirect displacement for centering the lens board when using a short lens.

Excellent book by the way.
