Thanks everyone. I actually ended up purchasing a 120mm APO Symmer L instead. I figure it has enough coverage for my purposes, it was a nice price, and the focal length fits better between my 150 and...

Cool. Thank you Matthias!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had hands on experience with the Arca RL3Di? It’s a bit of a strange camera but it kind of intrigues as it takes 4x5 holders, but is completely different from any other...

Do you mean that it has less or more coverage than you expected?

Hi,

I am looking to buy a medium wide lens for my 4x5 camera and was considering the 135mm Schneider Symmar APO as my other lenses are also Schneider. However, I am unable to find the data sheet...

Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone,

I am considering purchasing a Linhof Technika. My go-to lens is the Schneider 110mm Super-Symmar XL. Does anyone know of this lens will fit inside the camera with the body closed?

Hi everyone,

I want to purchase an Arca C1 Cube head, which will be used mainly with my Ebony, and sometimes Mamiya 7ii and Hasselblad cameras.

However, it's been a long time since I purchased...

Thanks everyone. It seems like all the titanium parts are screwed down pretty tight. I have attached a video, showing what happens. It gets worse as the rear standard is racked out even more. I did...

I have an Ebony RWS 45 that I bought many years ago that’s now been dusted off and ready to go shoot. However, I noticed that the rear standard seems to be slightly loose, meaning when the bellows...

Thank you, Doremus. That was a very useful answer! I'll have to make some scales for my camera.

Hi everyone,

I have recently starting doing a lot of work of interiors (architectural) on MF, but am considering changing to 4x5 for more movements.

However, a lot of the time, the spaces are...

Hi all,

Based on your input above and a bit more research, I decided to go with a Rodenstock 135mm Apo Sironar S instead. It is just a bit more expensive, but has better coverage and will allow...

Dear all

Thanks for your comments and helpful insights. I have decided on an RSW and a the 120mm Schneider Apo Symmar L. This setup will be very simple, though movements both with camera and lens...

Hi all

Does anyone have experience with this lens? I am particularly interested in how far it needs to be stopped down to offer any movements at all and at what aperture it will cover 4x5 when no...

Thank you everyone. I have taken note of your comments and consider them in my decision.

Some general comments: I have never bought a film camera that I haven't kept and therefor plan on making...

Anyone have experience with the Ebony RSW45?

I am looking to get my first LF kit. The candidates are the ShenHao HZX45 (cheap), Toyo 45 AII (better quality, more movements) and Ebony RSW45...

Thanks the replies. I guess delivering the film holders for the first couple of shots is the best idea. I think I will try to keep all the boxes, so I can deliver the the correct film in the correct...

Hi all,

I am new to the forum. I want to get into LF after many years of mainly MF, but I am not sure whether I am going to take the jump yet. I ordered a pinhole camera, some Toyo double film...
