Hi Folks,

Just bought my second LF lens, and needed to by another lens board for it, like my existing lens is has a copal 0 shutter, so I bought what I thought was a copal 0 lens board( linhof,...

I will call Paul on Monday and find out mate, will let you know on here.

Thanks Bruce,

Any particular brand/designation I should be looking out for to fit a wista?, or are these things universal fittings?

Cheers, Andy.

Hi Folks,

I'm still new to LF, I have just discovered I can remove the back of the ground glass quite easily on my 45D, does this mean I can attach different backs, for example 120 film pano...

OK cheers pal.

another question if anyone knows, I use a Wista 45D, will I need a recessed board to use a 90mm lens on it? will this be a standard linhof type board?

Cheers Dan, just to confirm, the compur its the #00 that requires the csble realease and bulb mode, the #0 I just use as normal? which I am guessing is a preferred choice.

sorry guys, been out shooting the passed few days, thanks for all of the feedback, since posting I have found out that the lab I use for dev, make a direct order to fuji once a month and can order me...

Hi Folks,

It seems Im getting addicted to LF, my current and only lens being a 135m fujinon, Im now needing something wider to better suit my tastes, im looking at...

Hi Folks,

As I understand it Fujifilm no longer manufacture velvia 50 in large format film? or do they still make bulk batches for the local market?

These pop up on ebay very frequently from...

Cheers Ian, amazon seems to have a very good deal on the V850 at the moment, I don't suppose you have an example hi-rez scan from a 4x5 colour neg or slide I could get hold of by any chance?, maybe...

Hi Folks,

I am in the market to buy my first scanner, only for 4x5 colour neg and slide.

The Epson 7***/V800/V850 will both fit in my budget, but I wanted to pick your brains prior to...

Hi Folks,

Im looking at purchasing my second LF lens(4x5), currently using Fujinon W 135mm, slight wider is next on my list, looking at a lot of david ward/joe cornish work, this focal length...

Thanks for replies chaps. I think in short term for film of multiple shots of same composition I think I'll have to stay blind. Maybe look into the binary system long term.

At least you helped me...

Hi Folks,

Quick question, or should I say daft question.

On Tuesday I will be taking my first ever 8 sheets of film up to my local lab for processing/scanning, and Im not sure about one thing....

Cheers pal, I'll go for WA version. I use them for my digital kit, but unfortunately not in such a small diameter.

Hi,

Which adaptor ring to I need for a fujinon W 135mm lens on a 4x5 camera? Will I need the Wide Angle adaptor, or will the standard one suffice?

Regards,

Andy.

Hi folks,

hopefully just a quicky.

I need a plate to fit on my Wista 45D, which I will be attaching to a Arca Swiss P0 ball head. Will any old 'universal - arca swiss' plate do?

Only ever...

Could be what you are after?

Is there an android version?

Perfect cheers Alan, you found something I could not.

Cheers folks, again thanks for the comments, I've learnt more from this thread than hours of tutorial trolling on YouTube.

My camera should be here in a week, and the lens even sooner, I bought...

£200 delivered from Germany. Just had email confirming my offer. just need to wait on the Wista 45D coming from Japan now, buy some film holders and ohh yeah some film. I'd like to get to the point...

Thanks for the advice squire, I have made an offer on this, It seems you guys over the pond get far better used prices, probably bigger pool of togs I guess.

P.S when you say "90mm f/8 SA ~$150"...

Thanks buddy, I was actually just checking out a fujinon lens as I read that, oddly enough with a nikon lens cap behind it....

@Drew, thanks for the information pal, its highly appreciated.

Taking everyones comments on board I wil try to start with something around the 150mm length, and take it from there.

What are...

Thanks Andrew, once I find a used lens I will pop them a mail, see if they can provide the board. I'm guessing you will advise me to stay clear of these types of deals then?

Only Landscape photography, excellent performance is good for now :-) there's a Schneider Angulon 90mm f/6.8 on flebay for £100 which I was going to get as the price looks reasonable? would you...

Hello Folks.

I am about to jump into the depths of large format photography having spent the last few years developing my skills with FF digital.

I have just ordered my first field camera...
