Thanks! I guess I should try to find the lenses.

Jon

digging through some junk I found this barrel, thinking it might be part of a projector lens?

I'm guessing you have to unscrew the threaded lens holder ring?

You can bend the spring to make it stronger.

I converted my mountain bike by adding a geared rear hub motor. Not too difficult. I just bought parts from other people and assembled it myself. There is a forum called Endless Sphere with info.

One note is that the registration distance of the ground glass (T distance on film holder) varied a lot for different plate/film cameras of that era. I've seen cameras where the ground glass was...

Uhaul does have "wardrobe" boxes, lamp boxes and sports utility in different sizes.

Normal for "Studio" shutter.

The lens is really 2 lenses in one. 150mm or 265mm. It is called a convertible lens. With both front and back elements it is 150mm f5.6, with one element removed (I think the front?) it is 265mm f12,...

You could make your own tool out of a quarter and a piece of wood.

I have a lot of used screws if needed.

You can request a US Post Office money order and cash it at the post office before mailing your equipment.

I would suggest using a little stronger adjustable spanner and using some leverage if you need to.

There is a stationary finger that jams/locks the pinion when in the "outward" position.207569

Yes, I have a stock Tachihara combo screen. Their instructions do not make sense to me.

I would go back to your original fresnel screen and ground glass parts, or source new old stock replacements.

What you call the matte surface should face towards the lens, thus the thickness is not of consequence.

yes, critical. just cut off the ground glass corners so the ground glass sits correctly.

Note when you select Film (with Film Area Guide) it can only scan up to 8x10" max. So regarding notes written at the top of the page it may not be possible to scan the whole 11 inch length of the...

Yes, sorry I meant I make digital proof sheets by scanning 4 4x5 negs in the printfile pages.

Jon

Many people do scan proof sheets on their scanners. You just have to learn the Epsonscan software. I don't have mine set up but here's a few tips from memory: use professional mode, uncheck...

Yes, you can do all 4 at once in the page on the glass with the film area guide.

You might check for tips with Paul Kozal at Studio 391 or Jim Alinder, local photographers and gallerists. Sea ranch is not gated, but you need a parking pass to park if not in one of the few public...

Wouldn't it be better to take the dimensions directly from your camera, rather than someone else's back?

to add: those dimensions are better gotten from measuring your own camera as individual...

The fresnel surface with the concentric rings should be facing back towards you when you are looking through the camera. Two of the cameras I have worked on recently have had the focus screen in the...

For that particuliar camera the fresnel surface should be on the viewer side, not the lens side. That way the ground glass surface is where it should be, equal to the depth of the film holder. Have...

How do you know it's not backwards right now?

Maybe check the cord that goes from the lid to the scanner is plugged in well.

I think 300mm is going to be too long a focal distance to be practical. You could instead use your regular camera lens 4x5 lens like a 150mm or 90mm lens? There was a product called a Graflarger that...
