Are you sure you're not the assistant? I'm pretty sure my cat considers herself to be my supervisor. She always keeps an eye on things when I'm shooting at home.

Hey Steve, pretty amazing craftsmanship on the Sinar Norma ehh? The 5x7 Toyo I just got feels like a tin can in comparison.

If you´re thinking to sell the tripod set, let me know it.


Thank you, Steve.

i wish there was a fairly straightforward way of making a 4x5 rangefinder out of the polaroid 250 because they are just stupid cheap on ebay.

Maybe there is? If you could get the rangefinder calibrated to whatever lens you chose, and you could make a back without groundglass that a holder could just clip in to, you'd be in business.

here is a few photos of my convert 340 which may help you.

I slip a 6x12 back or standard filmholder on it.

smbooth, that's great. are you getting full 4x5 out of that? Did you have to bring the film plane further back than the original to get it?

thanks

Paul, I lose about 4mm top and bottom when using a filmholder, I really built to use with the 6x12 back so it never bothers me. You could cut some more of the body to resolve it if needed too.

Cheers

Probably; she is confident enough as a supervisor that she is content to take a nap while I'm working.

Yeah, it's like the love child of a Leica and a Bridgeport milling machine.

Eduard, sorry, but I'll be keeping this together as a matched set.
