Any ideas, thoughts on this? If you read down he made some plates. Baking in Sun seems a good idea... ...

4x5 Circa 1998

Just shoot them all at 160. They'll be totally fine!

I've had an archival experiment going for about 8 years....I'll have to check the date. I made a plate on trophy plate, aluminum. I varnished it...

What I've found is working in a darkbox, or small tent in the back of a truck is pretty hot and not conducive to making clean plates. At least for...

You can tell them apart by their notch codes. Just open the film holders in the dark and feel for the notches. The datasheets of both films include a...

I will use my pickup with tall cap, everything quickly removable to my shed, oops, need another fridge for that now I am also working on my cargo...

My apologies to the OP...its been years since I've even held a Koni-Omega - and I'd forgotten about its specific weaknesses.

I have never shot portra in 4x5 but I have shot a lot of it in medium format. Portra 400 can easily handle being shot at 160. Portra 400 is some...

Avoid Covid avoid crowded hospital, get vaccine at home.

Thanks.

Good news then for you. For the record, Horseman are very good cameras. I like them all. Some are very rare such as 5X7 L. Which I saw in a...

Thanks John. That's certainly worth consideration. Next time I'm around that building I'll look for that angle.

I do have a hatchback, nice and big, too. But we only have one car, and in the winter, it gets used a lot. I've definitely thought about getting...

Got a hatchback, station wagon, or a pick up truck? This southern lady does it in her trunk. I'm sure eventually you will take it on the road...

Awesome! Thanks so much to all of you for your responses! Much appreciated :)

Thanks, Kent. The furnace is off during summer months, but if I had a rig like your first one, I could set up anywhere. I'll send you a PM, if...

iPhone 11

Thanks any idea how to remove the Finder from top of camera if I can find a replacement? If anyone has a spare one please let me know. Or any other...

Here's two that I've built. The first one does up to 5x7. The top is a big piece of 1/8 inch red plexi. I do 8x10 in the second but it could no...

I agree. Tuco, have you thought about staging a model to personify your meaning? In this context almost any human in the foreground would add...

I think the Mamiya press cameras would be less failure prone.

I wonder where the OP went? Don't recall seeing a post from him since around the first or second page (of 11...) You did ask! ;)

That's sounds like it, thanks for that info.

According to my Horseman catalog from the early 1990's, there was an L45B where ".. rack and pinion drive for everything except focusing of the rear...

Thank you I had that impression that there is a range of slightly different models. That one has the same rise/fall and shift knobs as mine, but it...
