    Re: Korona 4x5 Quandary

    Yeah, Graflex slotted holders are a completely different design. Plus, I have never had a 4x5 before, I only own 3¼x4¼ and 5x7 holders.

    Re: Korona 4x5 Quandary

    Boy oh boy has this thing skipped gears on me. At one point while I was working on the plating, it was 3 or 4 teeth off level. I have eyeballed it to get it back on an even keel before taking...

    Re: Korona 4x5 Quandary

    Whoops, guess I got my terms mixed up. I am so used to saying plate mag because that is what I use on my primary camera. I meant to say film holder there, apologies for the confusion. I have a full...

    Korona 4x5 Quandary

    Hello all, I recently acquired an old Korona 4x5 unit, and am having some issues with it. I must preface all this by saying I am a Graflex SLR shooter, and I have no experience in the world of view...

    Quick update, I got a message from Amazon saying my order couldn’t be filled, so I took it as a sign and bought some of the stuff listed in the link. So thanks for clueing me in on that bit. I also...

    Re: Arista Ortho Litho Help

    I have heard of flashing the film before exposure, but I personally do not have an enlarger to do it with. But that is a fantastic photo there, what Fstop is wide open for that lens?

    Re: Arista Ortho Litho Help

    I am looking for normal contrast in this film, to be honest, that picture you posted is pretty much exactly what I am after. As for the amount of film I have, I think I have 16 some odd sheets left,...

    Alright, and from what I had read the Dektol was somewhat unpredictable. I went with that primarily because it was the one I could find the most info on. I am not really after the whacky results, I...

    Re: Arista Ortho Litho Help

    Strange, I would never have thought that could be the problem. I like to do things in mass as opposed to volume because of the rather crude impalements I have to measure the latter. I will bear this...
