You can request a US Post Office money order and cash it at the post office before mailing your equipment.

I would suggest using a little stronger adjustable spanner and using some leverage if you need to.

There is a stationary finger that jams/locks the pinion when in the "outward" position.207569

Yes, I have a stock Tachihara combo screen. Their instructions do not make sense to me.

I would go back to your original fresnel screen and ground glass parts, or source new old stock replacements.

What you call the matte surface should face towards the lens, thus the thickness is not of consequence.

yes, critical. just cut off the ground glass corners so the ground glass sits correctly.

Note when you select Film (with Film Area Guide) it can only scan up to 8x10" max. So regarding notes written at the top of the page it may not be possible to scan the whole 11 inch length of the...

Yes, sorry I meant I make digital proof sheets by scanning 4 4x5 negs in the printfile pages.

Jon

Many people do scan proof sheets on their scanners. You just have to learn the Epsonscan software. I don't have mine set up but here's a few tips from memory: use professional mode, uncheck...

Yes, you can do all 4 at once in the page on the glass with the film area guide.

You might check for tips with Paul Kozal at Studio 391 or Jim Alinder, local photographers and gallerists. Sea ranch is not gated, but you need a parking pass to park if not in one of the few public...

Wouldn't it be better to take the dimensions directly from your camera, rather than someone else's back?

to add: those dimensions are better gotten from measuring your own camera as individual...

The fresnel surface with the concentric rings should be facing back towards you when you are looking through the camera. Two of the cameras I have worked on recently have had the focus screen in the...

For that particuliar camera the fresnel surface should be on the viewer side, not the lens side. That way the ground glass surface is where it should be, equal to the depth of the film holder. Have...

How do you know it's not backwards right now?

Maybe check the cord that goes from the lid to the scanner is plugged in well.

I think 300mm is going to be too long a focal distance to be practical. You could instead use your regular camera lens 4x5 lens like a 150mm or 90mm lens? There was a product called a Graflarger that...

I think E6000 glue would work and the front frame being screwed to the front standard would hold well. The rear frame often has tacks or screws inside to help hold the bellows on.

Jon

Often the front wraps around the outside of the frame and the rear inside the frame.

Jon

One idea is to use thin black photo tape, which sort of looks like black masking tape.

There are other companies that can polish and recoat if you can remove the element you want coated. In the LA area.

Anyone know if Zone VI is any good. B/W only, but might be easier to handle. I think there is one available in Cali.

Jon

Probably for CD, DVD etc polishing machine that takes out the scratches.

I was able to get replacements of the broken pieces by leaving a comment in the Travelwide Kickstarter page. Not sure if that way is working anymore?

Jon

I believe Kodak is 1 and Ilford 2. A hint: Kodak goes to 6, whereas Ilford only to 5.

For focusers with adjustable eyepiece and line, circle or other reference, your eye must be the same distance from the eyepiece when focusing as when you calibrated it. I guess that's obvious,...

I got rid of all of the C1's a few years ago. Perhaps if you make all the mounting holes oblong you could adjust to suit.

I think you are thinking of a different camera. The C1 has some small tabs on the side of the rail that lock up the rear rail. I believe he just needs some pieces of stainless that extend backwards...

Do you have a picture of that? The C1 does not seem to have flat surfaces to mount that type of hinge.
