I am fairly new to large format and have recently invested in the above meter but find the instruction book reminiscent of Japanese English as supplied with 1960 Honda moped.
Has anyone come across...

Cokin system puts polarizer closest to the lens and the Lee system furthest from the lens. Both use resin filters. You takes your choice.

P system filters are a bit small for wide angle causing vignetting. Better off with the Z pro Cokin or X pro better still. Cokin ND filters are grey grads and not neutral density and therefore...

I have recently upgraded to the Epson 3800. I'm using ICM and Epson Lustre paper but find the results much denser and more saturated than my previous R800 with the same file and settings. It...

I have just acquired a Cambo 6x9 rollfilm back to fit to my 5x4. Whilst making a mask I find that the gate is 57 by 82 mm. Is this the nominal size for 6x9 or is it just peculiar to the Cambo.

I am making up a 5*4 view camera and need to know the dimensions required for the bellows so I can get one made. I don't have one to copy from.
Can some kind person out there post me the same.

To combat my passage into the elder (and retired) years I've decided to make my own 5*4 and hope to have it working by the time I'm 70. I've set the task of making everything except the lens and...
