I'm gonna take on a challange:

To build a 8x10 camera with fixed infinty focus för a 210mm lens (wooden box style).

But I have one question, the distance between the filmplane and the lens...

Allright, do you mean 5500-7000£ for the whole outfit?

Hi!
My friend wants me to sell his 8x10 equipment, he bought everything new from Robert White about a year or two ago I think. But what could this be worth now? Everythink is in mint:

- Ebony...

Thanks! Allright, how about the Zone IV Ultralight? 3-4k is too much, but maybe 1,5-2k. I dont mind buying used gear.

I currently have a Burke&James 8x10 Field Camera (Red Bellows) and it's way to heavy for me.

- Almost only shoot with a 210mm lens.

- Mostly in the field, could be some rough weather sometimes....

I'm looking for a kind of step-ring where I have a 58mm filter thread that goes out to a square/rectangular plate.

I'm going to use this to tape loose ndfilters om the lens without lightleek.
...

well its a pinhole-camera and I have ND-filter aswell, but is there any way to calculate roughly?

If I want to do a 24h exposure with an ISO 100 film, how do I calculate which aparture I should use?

It's about 18h of light, 2h of twilight and 4hours of darkness.

There is no grid at all.

Well the problem is that I cant really see if its sharp or not, also it seems quite dim. I'll try wash it. Thanks

I have a B&J Commercial View 8x10, and the ground glass sucks! I can't see nothing on that thing.

What do you recommend? Can I do something to make the groundglass I have today any better or...

Thanks for your replies! I didn't remove the bellows, worked out quite allright anyway, but it wasn't a walk in the park

I recently bought a Burke and James 8x10 commercial view off ebay. But I hated the ugly paint so I decided to do some restorement. Here's the result, enjoy:

Before:
...

Is it possible to use the BTZS tubes for color aswell?

The B&J hasn't got any frames for the bellows unfortunately.

But is it hard to glue the bellows back again? What kind of glue do I have to use? This sounds like a big project with the bellows.

I've recently bought a B&J 8x10 Commercial View and thinking of getting rid of the awful paint. I've read these notes on restoring this camera:
...

Thanks for your advice! Trays isn't an option, I only have a dry darkroom. The BTZS, chromega, simmard and unicolor tubes sounds like a nice option. With a rollbase.

But how does these work for...

I've read a bunch of threads on this subject, but once and for all, is there an easy way to develope 8x10 BW/Color in a Jobo CPE-2?

Or, whats the easiest way to develope 8x10 B&W film?


Thanks!

I'm on the lookout for a lens that covers 8x10 good. Something in the area 18-20" (450-500mm) I'm mainly going to use this for still life photography in my studio. I've been looking at a Artar 19"...

I can't seem find anywhere, whats the maximum bellow-extension of this camera?

So it's possible to just buy this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300612717204?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

and then a shutter like this one and simply mount it together...

So I have to modify the lens to make it work?

Is it possible to mount this lens in a shutter? I've heard that it would work in a Copal 3 or a Ilex 4. I've never mounted a lens in a shutter before, is it hard work? Is it even possible to do it by...

Allright, but if we do it the other way, how much bellow-extension do I need if I wanna shoot with a 210 on infinity?

Loooking for some more info on the century universal, anyone here that shoots with this camera? How does it handle heavier lenses fully extended? I tend to use the camera in position facing down...

Great, thank you!

Is there some sort of formula to calculate how much bellow-extension you need?

Take this example (on 8x10):

How much do I need the bellows to extend if I'm going to focus on something that is...

and the price of 340usd seems fair, in a seiko shutter

According to the seller, this has a IC of 352mm, so I should be allright

Thank you for your help! So far I've bought a Fujinon W 210, I scan ebay every day and will post a WTB on the other focal-lenghts aswell.

Mainly price, and also I want to know my other options.

How do I know which lenses that covers 8x10?

I have the info-list from this site, but that's only a limited number of lenses listed there.

I'm looking for a 210-240mm (8-9"), 300-360mm (12-14")...

Allright!, Did the Model B also come in a wood-model, I've seen one of those on ebay.

There's a few different 8x10 Kodak cameras and I can't seem to find out what differs them:

Kodak 2D

Kodak View Model B

Kodak Master View


What is the difference?

Yes the prices are basicly the same, the Korona is 200$ more.

Allright, the c1 seems to be popular! But if I would have said that I'm looking for a fieldcamera, would the answer be the same?

By the way, the front standard is the same 6x6" lensboards?

In...

Is there no advantage in Korona-offer except that it looks good? Better lens?

Hmm, leaning towards the C-1...

The C-1 seems to be a better choice,

BUT!

The Korona is a wonderful piece of work! And still very useful

I'm about to purchase one of these to cameras as my first 8x10 from members of this forum (I hope no-one gets offended by this post) But I need some advice.

I will shoot mostly in my studio on...
