@reddesert Thanks for the tips! I'll get some steel wool then, I don't want to damage the camera.


That second plate you point out is the best one. On the bottom of the C1 is two holes, 1/4-20...

Yep, good that he was willing to explore and haul that gear around.

As for the C1, I'm still mulling the tripod plate scenario. I need to see how a Majestic attaches to a tripod. I'm worried it's...

For this setup I'm adhering to Edward Weston's rule: "Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic."

The problem with that is the base of the C1 is 6.5" x 5" and looks like so:

207104

Which is smaller than the the Kessler. I looked into a Majestic head and it's pretty cheap used. Might be the...

I wish this entire mess could be separated or teased out into threads like, "How to get scans using a copy stand" and "You'll have to pry my Epson from my cold dead hands: A guide to scanning" or...

Well, the Z2+ that I currently own has a 132 pound load capacity. The trick is finding an AS plate with a larger base than the typical narrow plate. Maybe I'll contact RRS and see what they say....

On an impulse recently, I bought a green monster on ebay. It has a fair amount of corrosion, mold like and some rust. I had a vague idea of stripping it down, but don't trust myself to put it back...

Thought I would loop in the other thread in where someone posts a picture of their copy stand setup for scanning via mirrorless digital camera:
...

Thanks! I've been shooting film and printing in various color and B&W darkrooms. As the last color darkroom closed in WA last year, I'm finding that I'm having to print color in LA. Which is leading...

Pere - I think you misunderstand, I don't pay someone in NYC to scan my negatives. I rent a Flextight by the hour and scan them myself (in 3F). The scanner is much easier to use than the Epson and...

I'm very interested in this thread. In 2013, I had a show with 21 prints, mostly 30x40 with three at 40x50. I scanned them in NYC on a Flextight in NYC and though I had no experience whatsoever with...

Bummer, since I just got an 8x10 camera I was planning on buying one of his washers...I have a 4x5 washer and love it.

I did a whole show (18 prints) doing pretty much that. After the first couple, I used some presets in the FlexColor software and that got the negs inverted and most of the way there before I pulled...

I just got an Intrepid 8x10 and just got 10 sheets at the old price. Guess I'll need to start looking for another film, which is a bummer since my whole career has been with TXP 320 in 4x5. I hate...

I'm continually surprised by how large format just keeps plugging away. Of course what some of these new cameras show is that, there was a price point that had to be hit or people weren't interested....

Just ordered on the preorder. And yes, curious about extracting that Instax back once I've had my fun with the cardboard one. Now which will I receive first, my Jollylook or my Intrepid....?

I like the idea of being able to use at least a 150mm lens. That TW 90mm was not optimal for me.

I don't live in Portland but send Citizen's all my 4x5 color neg film. Good lab for that.

I've never shot 8x10 so I don't know that context. In 4x5 I mainly use my 350mm and my 450mm most often and there are times I wish I had the bellows draw to use a 600mm on 4x5. The Ritter (812mm) and...

I signed up for one as well. Though I've got my hands full with 4x5 etc I mainly shoot color. I'm interested in 8x10 to shoot B&W and contact print at home with Lodima paper. Though the lens range...

Yeah, I usually get tired of some of the rambling and click out. I admire sincerity as much as the next guy, but between the 'golly gee you guys are great' and the over elaboration of the minutiae of...

Looking forward to the 8x10. I don't see myself shooting enough of that to justify a more expensive camera and I need something lightweight so this looks perfect. Too bad about the Sinar part but I...

I just bought a 50 sheet box of Tri-X for 99.95 (three weeks ago) and now it's 114.95. Unless B&H was having a sale and I didn't realize it.

Just saw that they raised the prices on the 50 sheet boxes as well! How does that track? Is that to punish us for not buying the 10 sheet boxes?

I like the 10 sheet boxes. I shoot mostly Portra in 4x5 but do occasionally see something I want in B&W and never shoot more than six on a given trip. It'll be nice not to have to pull one of those...

Somehow I missed that there was a ground glass. I like the idea of there being a longer lens availability. My gripe with the Travel Wide was that 90mm is too wide. In fact for me 150mm is too wide...

I'll confirm what others have said about digital negs. For me getting a larger negative from my 4x5 so I can make an 11x14 or 16x20 contact print on Lodima paper would be great.

I see that the first batch shipped on November 10th. Unless USPS has gotten really slow that means that someone should have one in their hands by now. Was just wondering what people thought...since...

Has anyone gotten one of the backs yet?

Would love to see cones, helicals, and viewfinders for 150mm or longer....

I was asking the question directly to someone else's comment in the kickstarter thread and while my comment got moved, theirs did not so sounds a little out of context. And no, I do not have the...

Do you think a third party GG like a Maxwell would fit? I suppose it would have to be drilled....

Thanks for the overview Rick. And to everyone else for the other information we're sharing. As this goes on google will be sending this out to the (hopefully) masses to read and figure out options...

In my case a camera with a strap is bound to hit the ground. For me the TW will be a camera I carry because I'm, say, running around the streets of NYC busy doing stuff other than photography like...

The Black Rapid camera shoulder strap would work pretty well on this. It attaches to the tripod mount. Though I think I'll be much more likely to carry it in a small photo bag with holders, light...

Since I'm seeing a lot of range finder/view finder combos perhaps someone could give some overview for the thread and calibration info. I'm not familiar with that stuff but do know that when I...

I have a Polaroid 600SE that would be interesting to use with roll film but not at those costs. It would be cheaper to get the Mamiya M adapter and a roll film back though the cost of those has...

And of course a little boy at the dinner table carving a Travelwide out of the pile of mashed potatoes on his dinner plate.....he stares off into space dreamily.....then the doorbell rings.....
