Didn’t see this until this morning. Bought two boxes. Whew!
Your experience was helpful to me so thanks for that. I ordered the NS Basic 4x5 holder with ANC glass and the estimated ship date is two months from now.
I am about to buy the 4x5 holder from Negative Supply and there’s a choice between “Micro Etched Acrylic” and “ANR glass”. I assume the ANR glass option is real ANR? The glass ANR option costs a...
What software do you use to invert the files? Invert function in Photoshop or a dedicated software like negativelab?
I love NM. The last photography road trip I did was to Tucumcari with a 5x7 in March two years ago. White Sands is beautiful and so is Las Cruces.
I default to 77mm and 105mm. Some of these Schneider lenses require a step up ring anyway. I don’t know why Schneider make their wide angles so the filter can potentially mar the coating. At least I...
I have a Cooke PS945 that to my surprise covers 5x7 at infinity at max aperture with movements despite published specs. I absolutely adore this lens and it’s the anchor that keeps me in LF.
I also use the silicone domes and they work very well. I use cotton swabs for dividers because you can pull out bits of cotton to fit but don’t reuse them. I had two (sold one to a friend) so I can...
Thanks. Yes it was from an Xpan but sadly I no longer own it. Here’s a shot from Jaipur.

Thanks Peter and Tin Can.
There are many such towns near Hangzhou and Suzhou, China known for the canals. The tour books call this area “Venice of China”. This shot was taken in the city of...
Chinese canal with Rolleiwide 55mm Zeiss. TMax 400
I missed my LF camera very much that day.

Isn’t there an almost equivalent metric size? I bought some NOS Fidelity holders years back and the box had the metric size crossed out with 5x7 hand written on it. I had to load a sheet to make sure...
I was driving into California when I saw in the valley far away what looked to be a something from Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. They were tall towers with beacons on top and on the ground...
Yikes. I’ll just keep shooting 5x7. I would pay the increase if I could get TMax in 5x7 though.
On my photo road trips I tend to load up 25 5x7 holders in the hotel so to empty out two boxes of film. I really only shoot when the light is ideal so I end up using 10 or 12 sheets a day but I have...
I travelled a lot with 4x5 the last few times to Tokyo, Venice, and Bruges but that was before the new CRT scanners. I would just let the film go through the scanners because to request a hand check...
That’s was how it was shipped to me from Ebony in Japan so I guess I am just over cautious. I’ll do just that, thanks.
My Ebony is the non-folding SLW model and I didn’t realise when I bought it but the knobs stick out a bit too long to fit in any cabin camera case within size limits. I can always carry it in a...
Thanks. I’ll ship the back with GG separately. I didn’t think of that. Great advice.
I hear Yo Yo Ma buys another first class seat for his cello.
I have a 8x10 Ebony camera I need to ship to the US from Asia and am worried about potential damage. They are not made anymore and I would fly with it on my lap if at all possible. Can anyone give me...
California for the variety.
I use a Gitzo GT3531 with center column replaced with a Markin hub, and the Linhof Cube. The Cube is heavy but the best thing I have ever used.
Now I am this much closer to a new Chamonix!
I tested the Pentac with the subject 20 feet away and it covered 8x10 with minimum vignetting and definitely no dark corners. The OOF was all bokeh at f/5.6 so am sure the corners wouldn't be sharp...
Thanks for all the responses. Better be safe than sorry. The Betax shutter itself is heavy and the lens is physically long with a large front element so the front standard naturally wants to swing...
I hope this is not a silly question.
I bought a Dallmeyer 8” f2.9 Pentac in a Betax #5 on a Sinar board. The lens weigh 3.4 pounds. After the CLA I shot a few sheets with an Ebony SLW 8x10 a light...
Ebony. I have other lenses in Sinar boards and they fit.
I was under the impression from doing online research Sinar and Horseman lens boards were compatible. I bought a Horseman lens board from KEH and here is the exact KEH label: Horseman 4x5 32 hole...
I was walking on the dunes at White Sands with my 4x5 looking for a shot when I became disoriented. It was getting dark and I couldn’t follow the right set of footprints back to my car and dammit I...
I have been meaning to reshoot that Inverness shipwreck in pano before some idiot completely destroys it. There is something to shoot everyday in that area.
The only green all natural photography I can think of is the Shroud of Turin and literally it is human sized. Need to find a cave though and a huge boulder.
I am mostly a Rolleiflex 6x6 shooter and for street photography where my subjects are always people the waist level perspective is perfect.
For LF usually buildings as the subject I find i more...
Oh I see. Makes perfect sense. I suppose committing to 500 sheets of fresh film that can used over 10 years won’t be a huge burden. Certainly something to think about. Thanks again!
Thanks Oren for the valuable info. I see on B&H right now there is a special order option for 4x10 and other sized with a minimum of 20 boxes. I guess they get it from one of the participating...
The stickiness and stink go away when properly stored. I had a large Harrison changing bag stored in its original packaging for years and when I took it out for a road trip my wife thought something...
I plan to get into 4x10 soon. Where do users order their ULF film? I don’t know how this works? Place a special order with B&H or from any dealer? Thanks.
I have the Harmon Walker 4x5 pinhole and was surprised by the quality of the images, not fuzzy at all. Those images in that website look digital sharp.
It sounds like the camera itself is ok but the assembly is crap. Perhaps Intrepid should release as an option a kit so users can assemble one themselves?
