I ended up snatching a Beseler 45mxii for free, and sold the Intrepid. I have the room so easier to keep it set up permanently. Intrepid is great if you have space or other constraints. It's...
Once I re-dialed in the loupe for my eye, it eliminated big frustration after the focus point had shifted. Painting the two white dots on the barrels to mark "my perfect focus", all guesswork was...
Update.
I had my first session with 5 residents of the Nursing Home. Can't post photos yet due to privacy regulations. Hope to get some release forms, but will likely require the person with Power...
Amen to this. I'm new at this, and for a while was satisfied with my loupe. But recently spent more time examining the GG, and noticed I wasn't seeing it quite clearly. So i dialed the diopter in...

I dig the composition here. The angling left arm. The folded fingers. And, of course, the eyes.

Thanks all. Lubing helped some.
However, it functions well pushing in, but still won't fully retract unaided. If I pull it fully out after an exposure--by pulling out on the "thumb-piece"--the...
Revisiting.
Have an older Norma chrome version where the plunger won't retract all the way back into the housing when released. Shutter oesn't properly function that way.
Assuming this is due...
I am not sure this is what you're looking for exactly, and it may not include other costs, but this indicates 57USD + 10USD shipping to UK:

I have the Norma Copal "Switzerland", Made in Japan Shutter. Love it. But still confused about models.
Do you, Daniel, only buy the same? Or do you also purchase the newer "DB" Shutters or other...

Thanks much to each of you who responded! I learned from every post.
Especially value the links to other sources. I know that aging, in and of itself, can be a challenging topic.

As a fellow newbie, I can tell you that that post about LF cameras being "light eaters" rattled me at first too. However, I find no contradiction between his observations about LF and all the...
Like this one! Sent it to my buddy who grew up in Ambler. I visited him there 40+ years ago. He said his grandfather was friend of the painter who painted a collection of the bridges in that area,...
I imagine it's been proposed before, but a thread that featured political photographs, as defined by the one who posts, that invite discussion might be interesting.

Fujinar 30cm?
Tessar, single-coated, f/4.5. Covers 8x10. Within your budget, even allowing for shutter (assuming it can be mounted on one).
I'm too new to have much to compare to, but I dig it...
Love this! Says it all.
I started a year ago with the Stearman SP-445 tank and his chemicals. If I can do it, anyone can! Tim, the Stearman guy, has good videos, answers emails. But the tutorials...
Beautiful, evocative images, both. Eager for more and more details when available! Thanks!

Good for you! I'm semi-retired, but super re-newed to photography, and totally new to LF. I've got studio + dry darkroom + wet darkroom all in one two-car garage. Envy the light you're going to be...
Thanks for the memories! I remember when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, and my older sister had to wash her hair. She asked me to let her know when they came on. I told her, and she came running...
Thanks, Daniel! Helpful confirmation. Yes, I did figure out the adjustment, and I'll give that lube a try.
Care to share contact info for your repair guy?
Best!

Hello Sinar experts!
I mounted and adjusted my chrome Auto Aperture cable onto my Norma 4x5 back according to instructions I found in a manual, and the green Norma-era shutter closes fully when I...
This is where I'm hoping the Lomo Graflok Instax 4x5 Back will come in exactly as you say: to check lighting expresdion generally. Then meter for exposure. Hoping.

Joshua, thanks for this. I've got the Bogen/Manfrotto tripod with the finger "trigger" for adjusting height of the legs--together or singly-- which I love for studio. BUT, even though I don't raise...

Hi there and welcome!
I spend part of my time in DC, and shoot with an Intrepid 4x5 there, but also my Crown Graphic on the street (Navy Yard area). I'm new to LF as well. Fabulous journey!

Welcome! New still too. Began with Intrepid...or so I thought. While awaiting delivery, got a Crown Graphic for hand held. Love both. Intrepid is a well-constructed and fully functional camera for...
