I use a cheap clamp I found on amazon. It gives you a lot of possible mounting locations.

I have it connected to my packard shutter in this poor photograph.

You might want to keep an eye out on the big auction site for a used focal plane shutter. I picked up one many years ago for less than $30 to replace a focal plane shutter in an Anniversary Speed...

No, that bench has had a half a dozen different reloading presses and cast bullet lubri-sizers mounted to it over the years. After I bought a larger bench for my presses, I moved this one to the...

So far, it is exactly what I was hoping it would be. I wanted something that would allow me to quickly process a single sheet of 8x10 film, without having to set up my Jobo or working from trays in...

I have been moving some of my old databases from Filemaker as well.

I now use a database program called Tap Forms, as it works on both my Mac and on my iPhone, and it is easy to keep the data in...

The cheap clamps you can find online (I bought this one on Amazon) with a 1/4-20 stud or threaded hole work well with a flash cold shoe. I used a ball head cold shoe and it can be oriented a bunch of...

That is great he stood behind his product.

Now you can experiment. Maybe modify the rear clip to change the flow characteristics over it?

David,

Will a 5x7 sheet fit the long way into the grooves if you take the rear center support out? My CL-81 doesn't have that rear center clip that is causing the issue. I am curious if I buy...

David, thank you for reporting your initial thoughts on this reel. I was curious if the film might shift around in the reel when I first saw these on the auction site. From the results of your first...

I was just thinking about your purchase this morning, and marked his current 5x7 tank auction to be watched. Anxiously awaiting your receipt of your tank....

Out of curiosity, I placed my Nagaoka on my postal scales and it registered 2 lbs 11 oz without lensboard or lens.

And if a rotating back on a field camera is absolutely necessary, I also weighed...

Though you have to reposition the back 90 degrees rather than rotating the back, the Anba Ikeda 4x5 is very light.

I don't know if the information from this table is still available on the new club's site, but I copied this from the old site's webpage in 2009.

Please report back how it worked when you receive it.

I have a Catlabs CL-81 that I love to use. I saw the reels you purchased on the auction site. The same seller also has 4x5 reels that...

Jason,

Sorry about your Pre-Anniversary. They are my favorite Speed Graphic too.

Thought I would pass on that I bought an old used focal plane shutter on the auction site last year for an...

If I remember correctly, the CPE-2 in the OP's photo is fitted with an optional top that had slots cut to use the same NOVA pod inserts as the manual ones that I have. If so, they will not fit the...

Johanna,

Yes, I am very interested in it too.

It is not finely finished, and doesn't have all the movements of some other field cameras. But it has enough movements for what I would use it...

Johanna,

You are very welcome.

Not to dissuade you on your camera choice, but have you considered one of the new Intrepid cameras?

Johanna,

I found this brochure online somewhere, it has some of the specifications for the camera. You might find it useful.

Johanna,

It has been a while since I have used my Nagaoka, but your question spurred my curiosity.

My Nagaoka compresses to roughly 2-3/4".

For giggles, I put my 90mm Super Angulon...

Steven, thank you for this advice. I don't think the vinyl would handle much heat without melting, but I have some scraps left over that I could try it on. And I am definitely going to try it out...

I could only load 4 images in the original post, so here are a few more to show the finished product. Please excuse the unfinished lens board, I whipped it out quickly...

I thought I would share a little information to encourage folks who might be needing a set of bellows and are curious about trying to make a set themselves.

I will preface this post with a...

That is another very good idea, if you stay on reasonably wide surfaces. It was surprising to me, how easy it is to pull a trailer with a bicycle. I bought one made for hauling dogs when my sweet...

Yes, on some cameras they did. What I did to isolate vibration, cheaply, was to buy second hand soft sided insulated lunch cooler sacks at thrift stores. You can get them the correct size for...

The OP mentioned Arkel Panniers and it reminded me that I used to haul my Agfa 8x10 around in Arkel Panniers. It was a tight fit, camera in pannier on one side, the holders, lenses and meter in the...

Fergs,
The most common Graflex SLR's in the 4x5 format are the Series B, Series D, Super D and the Autograflex. Graflex.org has some very good information available....

Leonard,

That is very interesting, thank you for taking the time to weigh your cameras. I do not own a Crown, but I am very impressed at how light it is according to your findings. My Pacemaker...

Another option would be to pick up an earlier Speed Graphic with a side mounted rangefinder. You can adjust it to work with your Verito with a screwdriver and a little bit of time and patience. ...

If it follows the pattern of all of the other OS X updates it should be easy and relatively painless. I have used OS X from the start and have installed every updated version as they came out and...

Kirk,

I am not Photoshop power user by any stretch of the imagination, but I recently bought a 17" Mac Book Pro with the 2.33ghz processor and 2gb of Ram. I am completely satisfied. It is leaps...
