I have a Kodak Enlarging Ektanon f4.5 10 inch lens that that is missing mounting flange.
Is there any low cost work arounds for missing lens retaining rings?
Thanks, Kevin. The 810MXT manual was just what I needed.
I am the owner of a Beseler 45XVL 8x10 enlarger. It look almost new. It has power lift and power focus. All four tube light and look good. It does weight a ton. No lens or negative carrier was...
I have a lead on a Beseler 45V with the Beseler 8x10 conversion. It has been it storage for years. The lens and neg carrier may or may not be included. What do I need to look for when I inspect the...
I had my Calumet C1 (8x10) on it around the house. The C1 was too heavy for me to use in the field. This one was a CST/Berger. I did add a rope to tie the legs in place. On hard surfaces the legs...
Here is the adaptation I did:

This was for a 4x5 but the idea should work. The article is posted on the LF Home Page.
Too much program manager left in me. Gather all the information, plan your approach, assemble the materials, turn the wrenches.
The leg set clean up with wet cloth and a little WD40 on a couple of...
I found a Bogen 3036 tripod with a 3047 head that had been stored in a barn. It is dirty and all the movements are stiff. What are the recommended procedures to clean and lubricate it?
Over the...

When you matt, sign and date yours prints, do you the date when the print was made or the date when the negative was made?
That is the type of question my kids ask when I set up the 4x5 with film when I have a nice DSLR on the shelf. Glass is what I have and it works. PET/PETE is another option.
A trick for glass bottles is to add glass marbles to bring the liquid to the top. This removes air. The marbles are reusable. Soda bottles with air squeezed out works. This was recommended by Bruce...
On a side note, the longer the lens focal length, the larger the glass surface area must be to give the same f/stop. The diameter of the aperture on a 360mm lens is considerably larger than on a 50...
I use a repurposed Kodak Adjustable Safe Lamp to flash and pre flash paper. The cord needs to be replaced. Any suggestions on how to remove the light socket from the lamp? The socket will rotate but...
Thanks Richard, Offering the CD's will continue Bruce's work in helping fellow photographers. I have both and still refer to them. Over the years, Bruce answer many of my “dumb” questions. His is...
Beseler's response to my question. I will wait longer................
"The Charles Beseler Company is currently closed due to the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic."
I send them an email and waiting for an answer. Sometime this group provides answers and work around faster.
The lens turret on my Beseler 45MXT wobbles. The center screw that holds the lens plate to the turret housing loosens when the lenses are rotated. The screw looks to be a replacement. What is the...
Phil Davis in his book "Beyond the Zone System" 4th Ed describes adapting a Pentax Spotmeter to use as a densitometer. It is a good read on film testing.
I file by subject matter, My LF work falls into basic areas and is mostly personal projects. Negatives rated as keepers are printed on 8x10 with printing notes, filed in sleeves with the negative (in...
Or loosing it in the weeds.......................
Finally printed the lens cap for my Schneider 360/6,8 lens. It is a good fit. Thanks for the file 198137
Sorry, I do not know the process. I would suggest you follow up with a phone call.
This is a replacement. Jackie Heigle is retiring to pursue your own work.
I started taking classes part time and ended up with a BS. Still sit in on classes when I can.

Thanks, I will try printing this week.
I am looking for a front cap for a Schneider Symmar-S 6.8/360 mm. The outside diameter of the front element is 125 mm. Filter size is 120mm. Y would think a slip on cap would need an inside...
I have access to a MakerGear M2 3-D filament printer. I also need a lens cap for a Schneider Symmar-S 360/ 6.8 lens.
What is the process involved? From the short demo I had, 3-D printing should...
Thanks, Rockland is on the schedule.
I won't be in Rockland until October. Any chance your work will still be up?
Almost daily.
MTSU is offering a Large Format class this fall. In prepping the equipment it seems most of the focusing cloths has vanished. In an effort to save money for film, we would like to make some...
John,
I have been playing with Corel Paintshop 9X. So far it does more than I need. Has photo management, adjust and edit modes. Even layers. B&h has it for $86 on DVD.
Thanks This is one of my favorite threads.
Yes, Tri Tran did start an earlier thread. (And a much better image) It does not display on my unified view but is under Image Sharing.
Please delete this thread.
Sorry
I did not find a January thread so...……..
