What did the new bellows cost?

Thanks, Jim

You can't go wrong with a Majestic tripod and the Majestic Geared Head. Super strong. Made near Chicago. Cheap on eBay.

Get a Majestic tripod & the geared head. Some models will support cameras up to 40 pounds. You will never be disappointed with it. It is still made in the USA. They usually go for very...

Flash bulbs are still made - in Ireland.

Surplus Shed is great. I've ordered both 8x10 & the 4x5 Kodak GG from them. The 8x10 GG is only $12.00. Shipping is a set $5.00 for any size order.

Hi Giorgio,

He included the enlarger accessory with the MP-4. I am keeping it. Sorry.

Keeping looking on eBay for it.

Polaroid sold an enlarger accessory for the MP-4. This was not the Kenro. I bought my Polaroid MP-4 copier from a retired professional photographer. When he bought it new he also bought the...

Hi John,

Surplus Shed has Eastman Kodak ground glass. The 8x10 is $12.00 & the 4x5 is $3.00 (or 10 for $25.00). I bought 1 of each & shipping was only $5.00. I don't think you can do any better...

Another lubricant that should work well is Boeshield T-9. It was developed by the Boeing Company. It's sold in bike shops & boating stores. It leaves a waxy coating. I haven't used it on...

I just aquired a "Kinematic" "45" film holder (made in Wickliffe, OH). It works like a Grafmatic film holder but holds 10 films. Is anyone familiar with this holder? In haven't been able to find...

Here's a better Majestic link >>>

I vote for Majestic. They've been in business for over 60 years. Their geared heads can't be beat. I have 2 of their tripods & 3 of the heads. You can sometimes get a real deal on eBay. I...

Yes. I will use a 120 or 220 roll film holder.

Last March I bought a new Horseman 40mm recessed lens board from Adorama eBay ($36.00) so I'm all set if I luck out and get this lens.

>>> Jim

I believe the camera is an L45 - 4x5 view camera.

>>> Jim

I don't know if the lens is a 110 or a 45. I haven't bought it yet. Any idea of the lenes value?

The 40mm lens board is tight. I wish I had the 20mm board instead. I was using the board...

The lens is a Rodenstock 110 APO -Grandagon 1:4.5 f=45mm.

I do have a 40mm recessed lensboard & a bag bellows for my Horseman.

Thanks, Jim

Can I use a 45mm wide angle lens on a 4x5 Horseman View Camera?

Thanks, Jim

I believe it's model L45.

>>> Jim

I have a Horseman 4x5 View Camera and want to use a Calumet Caltar Pro Series 75mm wide angle lens. Do I have to use a recessed lens board or will a regular flat lensboard work?

Thanks,
...

Buy it from the Surplus Shed. I don't think you can do better than Kodak. I bought both the 4x5 & the 8x10. Very happy. They ship immediately & shipping is only $5.00 for any order. Buy...

I bought the 8x10 Ground Glass from Surplus Shed for a Calumet 8x10 camera. The glass needed to be ground down in one place to fit. I took it to a local glass company that does all sorts of custom...

What is your recommendation for using a quick release plate on my Horseman view camera with a Bogen or Majestic tripod.

I'd like to use the Bogen/Manfrotto hex quick release plate. I use it on...

eBay does have some clout. They can suspend selling privileges.

Hi,
I believe you can file a dispute on both PayPal & eBay. I filed mine on eBay & they ruled in my favor. I had bought a Horseman view camera with lots of accessories. The seller said...

Has anyone attached a Polaroid MP-4 Focusing hood on a Horseman 4x5 View Camera?

I'm not sure of the best way to do this. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Jim

I bought a 8x10 & a 4x5 from them. The 4x5 bought as a spare. The 8x10 I needed for a Calumet 8x10. It needed to be ground down in one place to fit. I took it to a local glass company that...

Try this company. I've bought both sizes & have been very happy.

Thanks Brian.

There are several sellers from China & Hong Kong. Who did you buy from?

"tssy2005", "buyitnow" or "virtualvillage-oz-alpha"
