F119410119411119411119412or some reason (my error) only one photo uploaded. Here are the other three (I hope)

koh (Omer)119409 I'm not sure we are communicating. The CPE2+ manual clearly states that a 2500 series drum can be used with a lift to develop 4x5 film. I have attached four photos to illustrate my...

Brian:

Picture(s) would be fantastic. I still wonder how the folks in the you tube videos do it.

I apologize for the length of this posting. I recently purchased a used Jobo CPE2+ Processor with the Jobo lift and also a few drums and other goodies. The unit appeared to be very well cared for. I...

I am thinking about buying a Pelican case for my LF gear that I can check as luggage. You can get a case with cube foam that can be configured for your individual gear, or you can get padded inserts....

When did Fujinon replace the chrome ring Copal shutters with the Black ring Copal shutter? Were all shutter changed over at the same time or did the change occur gradually over a period of years?

Thanks for the suggestions. The top hat was screwed on very tightly and had very little clearance at the back. There was only about 1/16 of an inch clearance to hold onto when trying to unscrew the...

Ken:

Thanks for the pictures. I was pretty sure that was how the board should be mounted. My question is more basic. If you note the lens board in my photos is mounted on the rear edge of the...

Sorry for the strange position of the attachments. I don't know why they came out like this.

116341 I have made a couple of photos to explain my problem in more detail. The question I have is how do I remove the lensboard/tail piece that the lens in mounted on? I don't want to force...

It appears that there are two ways to mount the Fujinon 400mmm T lens to a mounting board. Looking at pictures on epay, I see some boards mounted immediately to the rear of the Copal shutter. Others...

All:

I am in the market for a Fujinon 400mm T lens. I am looking at two such lenses. Both seem to be in excellent condition. My question has to do with which lens is more recent (i.e. newer)....

Thanks Frank. This does help.

Frank:

ANY info would be a great help so a photo wold be helpful. Thanks

All:

I am stumped. I previously posted regarding a recessed lens board for the 65mm lens. I tried a Chinese copy of the Linhof 1015 recessed lensboard. Even with a flex adapter I couldn't get the...

Thanks to all who commented.

Steve I think my 35mm analogy may have been poorly worded. In 35mm, my favorite focal lengths for Colorado Plateau formations lie between 17 and 20mm. 65mm in LF gets...

All:

I have recently purchased a Fujinon 65mm lens for use with my ebony SV45Te since the ebony catalog mentions that Linhof type boards will work on the camera. (FWIW 65mm is roughly my favorite...

All:

In anticipation of using up my last Fuji 4x5 instant film, I finally dug out my PA-145 holder (for 3.25x4.25 film) that I bought a few years ago.

Problem is I can't figure out how to load...

paul has re-posted these articles on his website. they can be found by clicking on the "writing" tab.

pete

ed and tim, i'd gladly donate $10 to paul's favorite charity for the pentax spotmeter article. FWIW yes, paul basically said that the fancy calibration (zone VI?) didn't make any difference to the...

i am pleased that he is still with us. i'll try to contact him re the pentax spotmeter paper.

thanks
pete

i have tried to find the above referenced article, but i guess paul has gone to his final reward. google lists his references, but when you click on them the site can't be found.

i had a copy...

i am slowly creeping back to LF. i have a gitzo 1228 CF tripod that i use with a nikon
F4 and kirk ballhead. for LF i'll probably get manfrotto 410, but do the forum members think the 1228 is...

I am toying with the trying out LF once again. I have looked at the toyo AII and noted that there is also an L version of this. the L version supposedly allows linhof lens boards to be mounted.

i recently purchased a used 4x5 sinar F2. it appears to be in excellent condition with the exception that the two horizontal leveling tubes are empty of fluid. i have emailed sinarbron to ask if they...

i recently purchased a used fresnel lens in a sinar 4x5 frame. unfortunately two of the four mounting screws are missing. i asked my local camera shop if they had suitable screws and was given a...

as a follow up of my earlier post, thanks to all for the input. i really only wanted either 6x7 or 6x9 but thought the zoom2 looked interesting and flexible. i found a 6x9 in mint condition from...

are there any significant differences between the sinar vario roll fillm back and the zoom 2? i have been trying to find comparison information with no success. B&H has a used back for sale at a good...
