Voce Cameras has several newly made cameras of this type (tailboard with spring back) in the photos in his web site. https://vocecameras.com

With taxes it came out to about $3500 shipped including the 5x7 and 8x10 reducing backs, 3 lens boards and 8" to 140mm Sinar/Horseman adapter. The seller received it in 2020 but can't use it due to...

I received this used Svedovsky 11x14 earlier today.210811210812210813

I found a set of a half dozen 5x12 xray film hangers for sale in preparation for using this size film.

Argentum Camera Manufactura of Hungary makes 8x8 and 10x10 format cameras and film holders.

A beautiful camera and I am intrigued by the 5x12" format. Did you manufacture this yourself? Can you share details of the process? Thanks!

I'm looking to receive my new Argentum Excursor 5x7" camera which is in the mail from Hungary to me in California! 208886

I know it is possible to make such an UV exposure unit oneself, or find one cheaper than the Jobo one, but I like that unit also.

I was intrigued to see that Ilford Japan is apparently making platinum printing kits/supplies:

"In addition to other well-known sources for fine print chemicals, ILFORD Japan has recently launched...

There is an eBay seller that offers the custom cuts of Shanghai film. If you search there you'll find it.

I got my 5x7 holder today. It looks OK but the dark slides are ridiculously tight to remove and reinsert. So much so that it almost doesn't work. There appears to be some type of white lubricant...

Is the "silver gelatin based positive" something that will be able to be used in your dry plate holders?

I found the Horenstein book used online for less than $10. On abebooks dot com

I received my Stearman 8x10 tray weeks back but did not have a chance to try it out until today. My impression of it is extremely positive, and it is in fact easier to drop 4x5 film into the tray...

That 11x14 Canham looks impressive. Congrats. Did you order film holders from Chamonix, or somewhere else?

I'd be really interested to hear first hand reports of the Argentum Camera 8x10 models from Hungary. There don't seem to be that many of them out there in the wild.

That's sounds like it, thanks for that info.

Thank you I had that impression that there is a range of slightly different models. That one has the same rise/fall and shift knobs as mine, but it appears to have base tilt which mine does not. My...

In contrast with that this Horseman L camera for sale (no connection to seller) has the same type of knobs as mine:...

I don't know which is why I'm asking. I'm not trying to prove anything to you and I detect a derisive snarky tone from you that is unflattering.

Back to the camera: I don't observe any "missing...

I'd be surprised if that is the case, I've seen pictures of others like this. Why do you think this?

I bought a new (to me) "Horseman L45" for a very modest price of less than $200 shipped. It appears basically unused. I imagine that back in the day it cost a bit more than that!

I'm happy to get...

The Horseman L45 monorail is awesome and comes apart easily to be packed for bringing it out into the world. I started with LF in 2016 with a Horseman L45, then bought a Chamonix 045-N1 new to...

201942I use this "Scotch 3M Low Tack Artist Tape" for taping certain odd sized negatives down or onto the film holder while scanning. I found it in an art supply store. It does not leave any residue...

I’ll be staying with friends in Medford and visiting my Mom nearby. Good to know that Catlabs has a retail store!

Hi forum members,

Is there a good camera store in the suburban Boston area where I can buy fresh 4x5 film and chemistry?

I plan on visiting there soon and will bring my Chamonix 045-N1 and...

I'm curious about this exact detail of the 57N 4x5 reducing back as well.

That Pelican looks very good and I imagine it could accommodate the 11x14 Canham. I'm ordering some new cameras/gear in 2020 and I am trying to put thought in adavnce into the practicalities of...

Interesting ideas. I actually have a Rimowa suitcase (too big though) I could adapt but it even seems like it could get damaged unless I had some sort of lightweight but protective inserts.

Hello, I am wondering about some type of adequate protection for an 11x14 or 8x10 Canham during air travel.

Is there a model/brand of flight case that can do the job when in a travel situation of...

I have done this including enlarging 35mm slides to DPP to obtain a positive. It works. I like this paper for many uses.

I'll enjoy hearing about how it works out. I bought some Ilford Ortho Plus yesterday to experiment with enlarging some 35mm negatives to 4x5, before I try enlarging my 4x5s to 8x10 and 11x14 for...

ZZ Medical mentions international shipping at https://www.zzmedical.com/shippinginfo although they apparently use a third party shipping service:

I've been buying 4x5 Shanghai film via the auction site, and I have gotten good results from it using Rodinal as a developer.

Does the Jobo 3005 work well for slightly-smaller than 8x10 sizes of film? I am specifically wondering about developing whole plate 6.5" x 8.5" film and 4" x 10" film in the 3005.

I am using Fuji double sided "5x7" that is available from Z&Z medical. It does not fit in standard 5x7 holders but it fits in 13x18 holders.

Like you I started LF with the Horseman L45. I sold it when I got a Chamonix, but now miss it because it is a very solid, precise camera with easy movments. I'm thinking of getting another since I...

Yes, this was a concern with earlier batches but not with current production. I have bought several boxes of it from Freestyle and B&H over the last few years and it always fit perfectly in my 4x5...

For the moment my present stock will keep me busy using it in the 13x18 holders for a while. I forgot to mention in my post above that it fits correctly in the printfile 5x7 sleeves I have which is...
