Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp are definitely worth a trip. I would recommend to stay in one city (my personal favorite would be Antwerp) and make daytrips to the other places by train. Trains run...
I use my 47XL Super Angulon quite often for landscape and architecture. In fact, is has become one of my most-used lenses.

Cool. Megatons instead of megapixels.

I have been through a number of field cameras (Wista, Chamonix, Speed/Crown Graphic, Technika) but I haven't really noticed any difference, focusing wise. I found all pretty much equal in that...
Thank you Koraks and David.
The deep fjord valleys are probably not a good spot to watch aurora borealis. This spot is at the end of the fjord with the view to the south, and you'd have to look...

I think it is a matter of personal preference. To me that water adds that little special something to the look, and I wouldn't change it. When I first saw the images I thought it was all planned that...

I used the smallest aperture that came with the lens, f16.
I use a Packard shutter with the lens which has a single speed of 1/25th (not 1/125th). So usable aperture is very much determined by a...
Thank you Peter. I am not sure myself yet either if architecture subjects like this one will benefit from the use of simple soft focus lenses. And I am still exploring what the potential of this lens...

I use the imagon (250 and 200 on 4x5) occasionally for landscape work.
Any specific questions that you want to know? The Imagon is certainly a peculiar lens diva, and it is easy to be...
Both the Chamonix and the Shen Hao are good cameras. Yet there are some differences that may matter to you.
The Chamonix is lighter and more compact, and extremely flexible, especially when you...
It might be that you have not reset the mechanism for the exposed marker (red dot) before you inserted the Septums with the film.

It is really surprising how good this little piece of glass is. In the center it is as sharp as it gets, a little softer on the edges.

The price seems a little high but not much. If the camera, the lenses and the film holder are all in good working order and well maintained then I would say the price is fair.
