Bruce are you still selling mainly over here or the Bay? I want to know what do you still have in stock, being myself a latecomer to the LF family (I only started after your retired...!!) I have a...

The general problem which I observe with Japanese eBayers is that they tend to use "boilerplate" description for items. Although they tend to have quite a good after-sale attitude, sometimes with all...
I had the same question and their official reply was that the extension board isn't for the H-1. But if you just need that 50mm extra length, I guess you'll do well with any of the extension linhof...
Given the wide angle of coverage required and focal length in question, I doubt any of the wide angle lenses mentioned would properly produce a usable image at widest aperture setting. Unless you're...
24x30...how many crew members needed to haul that gargantuan camera to the site?! Can't wait to see any illustration of the lens in action!
Hello Max,
Hope you're also reading this message - I was shooting landscape on the other day and realised that the cord-tension 8x10 back does have a little bit of play after inserting the film...
I'd like to get posted when the improved parts of the 8x10 become available (especially any improved front standards) for supporters of the older model(s) too. Will there be an official channel for...
One just wonder what would happen if there's a systematic collection of order which is thereafter sent to Fujifilm for custom-made batches of FP-100c (or even other extinct film types). It's just...
Given the time lapsed since its introduction to the market, all that would have fogged should have. So if you can get a clean sample now, it doesn't seem likely it'll develop the same fogging issue...
So the f2 is one that is with the proper front and rear standards? That would be as heavy as the p2 setup, I would imagine!
Did you mean the lever that locks down the probe when inserted into the back? It's used to hold the meter cell at the place where you want to take meter readings.
How did it go in the end?
Hi Max, congratulations for the project which looks will be a great success! Just a quick question tho - if someone gets a camera alongside the enlarger kit, would that camera be exactly the same as...
By all means go for it - it's the one you've been looking for and just use the normal rear standard for the time being. Quoting a response above, the special standards are not a must, and you can...
That is quick! Is it the F2 8x10 with proper standards? Great if you could post a picture to share.
And yes, I'd say a P 8x10 conversion is a better bet. Is it the first non-MB version? You need...
You are correct, because the part attaching the F2 frame to the rear standard is a rail that doubles as the mechanism for horizontal shifts, whereas the P2 frame is attached firmly to the rear...
Are there official extension rods for F2? I'd be interested to have one to extend its rise capability when used with my P2 back. Thanks.
The F2 4x5 is nice, but the 8x10 is probably too unwieldy. You don't actually achieve meaningful savings in weight (7.9 kg for the F2, and some 8.5 kg for the full set P2 8x10 - meaning that if you...
Thanks - they look a bit like the Gnass design. Let me check if they also do other sizes.
If the camera comes with a built-in hood the longer Horseman Loupe is handy as you don't need to disassemble anything. So it's a perfect companion to my Linhof Technika but on a Sinar I'd prefer the...
I have a few Photobackpacker's very useful cascading film holder and would like to add more in different sizes - and realised that it went out of business for quite some time already...is there any...
Kumar, just some quick thoughts: it may attract interests better if there can be some descriptions about why going plate instead of film, and where's the fun and naunces of using it, so that people...
Any chance you will ship outside of the States (to Hong Kong)? Also wonder how will you pack it to avoid breakage and the associated P&P rate. I'm looking for a 8x10 ground glass to replace the one...
I'm a happy user of the Intrepid 8x10 and I'm not sure what's not to like if one's concern is on price. Sure it doesn't give geared shift and tilt, and its finishing isn't peer to Chamonix, but at...
Have you checked with the vendor that the fresnel is of the correct one for use for P2? Is the fresnel original product or Chinese-produced compatible products? If it is the latter, they seller might...
Thanks Mike. Are there quickload-like options for film size larger than 4x5?? I'm not as seasoned as the other members here so would love to know the options!
Appreciate this is an ultra-light option for a 8x10 camera - but is there an easy way to put the camera in portrait positions when you want to, say, picture a tree? I seem to be unable to comprehend...
Thanks for the reply Hugo, the example is aptly put indeed. I have sent you a PM on a similar subject which doesn't relate the 810 (hence I sent by way of PM). Thanks and look forward to reading...
Just out of curiosity - what is the weight savings that can be achieved by making the camera horizontal only? I have a similar query on the Chamonix H-1 5x7 offering which also does horizontal only....
Many thanks for the reply!! May I have a further question about the lateral inversion of the final image (due to IP films being an integrated film but not a peel-apart) - the official manual says you...
Hi all, does anyone know if the recent rumours of 20x24 Studio not supplying pods (crucial components in producing peel-aparts) to third parties (which was the principal reason for the termination of...
Hi Leigh, would you mind pointing me to where I could retrieve a copy of the F2 service manual? I've tried looking for one online but was only able to locate one for the Sinar P series not the F...
[Deleted for duplication]
Have you turned the lever from "load" to "exp" after the film counter has reached the "EXP" mark?
Please could anyone send me / point me to where I can access a manual for Sinar Booster? I think Sinar has removed it from their web site some time ago...the reading I'm getting from the probe was...
Thanks for the useful advice!
This thread was a while back but may I ask a further question about compatibility between Rittreck and Sinar - I'm actually a Sinar 5x7 user and have been offered a Rittreck style back plate that...
Dear all,
Newbie to Sinar and this forum – I’ve recently acquired Sinar P2 with its backs in different formats (4x5, 5x7 and 8x10). However, the DOF calculator that comes with the rear standard...
Following up on this three-year old thread - please could you let me know where did you get this linhof-style board for Schneider helical mounting? I've got a similarly mounted 58XL on a helical...
