This sun shade works well on an 8x10 camera. Just attach it to the back with strips of adhesive Velcro.

I set an exception for https://www.largeformatphotography.info in Firefox, so I could continue to access the site in spite of the expired certificate.
Dan, I've browsed a decade of your comments on this site and I'd expect nothing less than the above.
By the above, I was only referring to Dan Fromm's post.
The OP (it) spends more time on Photrio (formerly APUG/DPUG) where there's an open, friendly atmosphere and far less of the above.
I agree that the For Sale forum is what keeps this site vibrant.
Why does the Photrio For Sale forum function so smoothly when many of the people who sell here also sell there?
Re: Tin Can
You bought a number of things from me through this site, Randy. Thank you for that.
Also, 70% of my large format equipment was bought here.
I believe that the ability to dispose of and acquire used large format photographic equipment on this site is what keeps it alive. I don't think the role it plays should be underestimated.
Here's...
Are you saying that including the sentence I also have lenses for sale here at the bottom of a for sale post, where the word here is a link to an older for sale post, is considered gaming the system?
Why is it unacceptable to include a link in a for sale post to another for sale post within the For Sale/For Trade forum? Once a post leaves the first page, it's pretty much invisible for a month...
Which brand of Swiss Made computer are you using to post replies to this forum?
The large square hoods that he's using might be from motion picture cameras of the day.

A sturdy leather dog collar of the appropriate width and length would make a good view camera handle.
$104,000? The price should keep it from going anywhere.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of holding Louis Armstrong's trumpet. Just because I was holding Louis Armstrong's trumpet, it doesn't mean I know how to play it. And even if I'm a great trumpet...
Why don't you just get the same camera & lens as Alec Soth or Stephen Shore? Then you can't make any excuses about your equipment as you produce your images.
Someone with a drill press and a set of large Forstner bits can drill a clean hole for you pretty easily. And yes, you drill a hole with a drill bit. A hole saw will also work.
Look for a...
My solution to the super-micromanagement and stifling policies that have taken over the for sale forum here, is to spend more time on APUG.
I spoke to someone at Golden Engineering some time ago. The retail price of the field processor is $799.
The "Calumet" field processor is still being made by its original manufacturer, Golden Engineering, Inc. of Centerville, Indiana. And yes, it's compatible only with the Polaroid 81-06 film holder.
I believe you've underestimated how important the For Sale forum is to the viability/vibrancy of this website. And I'm sure Sean over at APUG thanks you for making his website that much more active.
Bumps don't do anything on this site anymore, unless a user goes out of their way to change the sort order of the forum. I doubt that very many users would do this.
Once your For Sale post leaves...
Did you buy this on eBay a few years ago? It looks like the one I saw listed with user-added Sinar label. As far as I know, Sinar never made an 8x10 reflex viewer.
There was a Sinar-compatible 8x10 binocular viewer made by Horseman that I've come across a few times over the years. It was pretty much an 8x10 version of the common Sinar 4x5 binocular viewing hood.
To be fair, what cost $217.50 in 1976 would cost $914.88 in 2016 (Adjusted for inflation). But $914.88 is still a lot less than $2,000. Then again, a Nagaoka is not as pretty or refined as an Ebony.
Their prohibitive pricing had to limit their market. They could cut their prices in half and perhaps stay in business.
Could the smell be from some sort of chemical bath used to clean the plastic after it's assembled and finished?
Or perhaps just an unfortunate plastic recipe from a new supplier?
Could the...
Anyone who criticizes the king loses his head.

It's a great looking camera. The sort of thing you should keep around so people will talk about it, even if you don't end up using it.
By the way, when you acquired the camera, did you happen to...
The bellows from China aren't exactly inexpensive at $200 shipped. Although, $450 + shipping from Custom Bellows in the UK is considerably more expensive.
I guess this was a plate that had already been tapped to 3/8-16. Weren't they all 1/4-20 to begin with? An admittedly undersized screw, but that's what they used in those days.
Have you seen the...
