I am with you on that
Go on, tell us…!
FWIW I had good communication with this company at the end of May, as a consequence of which they are making me a one-off lens cone for my first-generation Fotoman 69. I used the address...
Many thanks for letting us know about this video. I too went on the factory tour 12 years ago and I enjoyed seeing much more than there is time for in this video. I was surprised to see there that...
I can recommend Newton Ellis in Liverpool. I have no connection with this company other than as a satisfied customer on 3 or 4 occasions, which included taking apart a Rollei TLR to get fungus off...
Bryan, I speak from personal experience not with great authority, but unlike some developers that bang through the tones rather quickly, Bromophen takes longer and handles the highlight details in...
I have tried most of the currently-available fibre-based papers from Ilford and I have settled on Ilfobrom Galerie FB for prints that end up in a frame and on the wall. For some years my choice of...
I use the same Lightware bag as Christopher Barrett. I have a small lock to join the zip fasteners together, so it can't be undone for inspection. I have never had any trouble with it through...
Conrad, you are welcome here! Please be assured that others too have found 5x7 to be a great format for the reasons you say. I have just taken delivery of 25 sheets of Ilford FP4 Plus in 5x7 format...
Could we ask for APX 25 to return?
Here it is
The Nikkor-SW 90/8 has been available for a reasonable price. It covers 5x7 easily and is very sharp. The Super-symmar XL 110/5.6 is superb on 5x7, worth waiting for…
The new Ebony digicam "Finesse View" is aluminium not wood, though it looks to be a very similar construction to their wooden cameras. I haven't dared ask the price!
Many thanks for your help, folks.
Apologies for this being about MF not LF, but I'm confident that someone here will know the answer! I am wanting to know if there has ever been a 120 roll-film holder (RFH) made that has a...
Nathan, the photos are most helpful and I suspect that you have correctly identified the problem as being the thickness of the IIIA filter, though I would need to do measurements to be sure. Your...
Nathan, I have this lens and the CF III, and there's no impact on image circle. Given that the CF should be much larger than the front element of the lens, it's difficult to see how this could occur...
Yes it should be possible to fit the lens up as you suggest. In fact I have recently done just this for the Fuji 240A lens (I assume that's what you will be using, you do state the shutter size) on...
I have had a lot of fun with a 90/3.5 Commercial Congo lens on 6x9. These are small, light, Copal 0 shutter, tessar design, wide open sharp in the centre but soft at the edges, still available and...
Nice one, Rod.
I use a Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-Digital 35/4.5 on a Fotoman 69. Extremely sharp, and only just covers the 6x9 format without movements. Would not cover 6x12. For a similar ultrawide perspective on the...
Steven's right about the Faroes. Been there once, wonderful place, would gladly go again. First time I got out of the car at a photogenic location my hat blew off. All apart from the remainder of the...
Very sorry to hear of your losses.
And the name of the airline is…?

Fotoman Professional is in my opinion a cracker outfit! I have no connection with them other than as a satisfied customer. I have a Fotoman 69 camera from the previous Fotoman vintage and the "new"...
Yes you could certainly do this using centre tilts. But my point was that you may hardly ever need to use such tricks with a non-folder. Because the standards don't have to fold down they can be made...
Sorry I didn't answer that one. My simple answer would be to stick to ebony wood. I have never handled a 45S in mahogany so I can only imagine how it feels, but it may not be as stable or as solid a...
Raffaele, I have the 45S and I'm just as happy with it as when I first bought it. It will handle your 150 mm lens superbly. Wide-angle lenses are fine too, though my 55 mm lens is mounted on a...
Mine's great, easy to carry in the pocket, light, accurate. I would prefer to have one without the shoe attachment because I don't attach it to anywhere, and the shoe with its highly constrained...
In my (small, compared with others on this forum) experience with contact printing using FP4+, tonality is wonderful! 5x7 format, dev'd in ID-11/D76 1+1. Not tried HP5 but I would expect it to have a...
Maybe I should try this emulsion in 5x7. But for landscape and pictorial work I have not been impressed in 135 and 120 format. It seems well suited to biker shots with sunlit chrome and leather...
I have this lens for 6x9 use and I have never felt the need for a centre filter. I guess when I have taken it to the limit of its image circle I've been shooting mainly b&w, and a bit of natural...
I agree. It's easier than loading roll film on to Hewes spirals.
My 110 XL SN 14785XXX is just fine. Phew.
Welcome Scott. Please also consider joining the UK Large Format forum, http://www.lf-photo.org.uk/forum/index.php. If you post a question there you will find people happy to help, including people...
Welcome Hoops. There's also the UK Large Format forum http://www.lf-photo.org.uk/forum/index.php.
Goodness me. I have the this camera and I immediately recognized the problem that John is having with the 72 XL lens. On thinking through the options before buying the 45S it was apparent that a 55...
Can you provide a link?
Ebony 45S & Fotoman 69.
Mike, lens choice depends greatly on the sort of photography that you do, so what I use may not be appropriate for you. For landscape my most used lens is a 75 mm (Rodenstock Grandagon & Schneider...
Another possibility is that you may not be levelling the camera before you unlock the standards and focus, so the standards are free to move under the effect of gravity. This is a flatbed...
Good! PM me if you need some help with removing the HFM.
