First, Hello everyone, I have just joined the LFP and this is my first post and it's a brain picking exercise.
OK I have just bought a portrait lens "Kodak Portrait Lens 305mm f 4:8" I had thought of a 5x7 Linhof to mount it in, but looking at the size of the barrel (No.5) I'm not shure the Linhof panel would be man enough for the task, any one familiar with this lens and Linhof, if you could advise me please.
Any suggestions for a suitable secondhand camera, (I'm not looking to spend a mint) if you know of one for sale a point in that direction would be appreciated, it would be nice if a 5x4 reduction was available.
Is it possible to buy colour Neg for 5x7 without chopping up 10x8 in the dark?
Processing 5x7 B&W sheet film, any suggestions, I'm hampered by no longer having a darkroom, only a changing bag for loading etc. Is there a Jobo or similar system that can handle 5x7?
My apologies for so many questions.
Kevin.
