Test it as-is. Then cover the chips w 3M opaque photo tape and try again.

Watched it twice I think I saw film advance looking at the reflection on a front tube Next time, spikes, grass, not that camera Thank you!

looks like a 9A century studio camera is the tag missing from the front?

I know the Paramender Good idea I see your setup on a wood studio camera, a foot lever like a grommet machine Make is noisy and shock the...

As with Avenger, there are limited suppliers of Matthews equipment in Switzerland it seems. I can find a couple of C-Stands, but no rollers

Thanks for the link joelio. I'm wondering if there is an 8x10 camera that uses rods to hold both rear and front standards in place like the Sinar...

Ideally, this is what I'd like to do as well.

I would be sticking to studio in the main, so I don't mind about weight or bulk. Although, like I mentioned in another comment, the Avenger Roller...

Do you mean that the C Stands are a bit lighter? (The roller I'm looking at seems to be quite a bit heavier than the C Stands on the same site....

I had access to borrow, 1K and 2K traditional hot lights, focusable fresnel, really heavy stands on wheels My movie buddies have a pile Way...

Same post as before. Is this a bot designed to work up people that love doing things the hard way? Is the plot of Terminator 2 starting and the...

There are light stands strong enough to hold heavy heads, but one big problem is when stand is too light and extended, one bump or when outdoors in a...

Having played with various versions of Wollensak's Velostigmat II lenses(both fitting in different shutters and barrel lens), and having both Kodak...

Neither is going to be easy. The mirror fabrication and mirror alignment are going to be very difficult. I built a 30x40" camera with a reflex mirror...

The chipped piece can be re-cemented in place with Canada balsam or superglue, and not leave a shadow on film... Steve K

Also will depend on format. The smaller the format, sans movements, the less the impact.

Brand biased preference would be Matthews Studio Equipment. They have been supplying lighting stands and all sorts of lighting/grip stuff to the...

Isn't the idea with a lens like that to make blurry or low contrast pictures anyway?

If you are on the go and know you won't be exposed to the elements, a lighter kit is sometimes desirable. Imagine shooting corporate headshots with a...

I must say, I'm surprised that people are using C-Stands. I thought that they were mainly for holding things through grippers - didn't realise...

I'd love to see an 8 x 10 version of the handy gadget Mamiya made for their TLR's - a little lift that goes between the tripod and the camera base....

Ok, I made a video for the CP22-M2, using my Fuji GX680 as the test load. The GX680 weighs 10.5 pounds with 100mm lens and film back. It's about 2...

Seems supply is down, demand is up along with prices are up too. Not just the Nikkor 300mm f9 M, 300mm APO ronar in copal shutter and even APO artars...
