    Re: Hello LF my old friend...

    There are adapters for fitting digital cameras to 4x5 cameras.
  2. Re: Sinar Copal Shutter Cable Release Alternatives (and self cocking cable alternativ

    I have both. I worry about the stubby one jostling the camera, too, though I'm careful and haven't seen evidence of a problem. The Silvestri works well except the tip does not rotate independently...

    Re: Unscrewing super-old lens cells

    I've used PB Blaster with good results. First, though, I'd try pressing the element you want to remove into the side of an automobile tire and turning. Sometimes that works.

    Re: Re-Entry Strategy

    I'd suggest that you look at Sinars for sale on keh.com and usedphotopro.com. Those are top of the line cameras that sell for only a few hundred dollars now. Those two companies have accurate...

  18. Re: 4x5 Graphic View Camera vs. Rolleiflex xenotar

  20. Re: Local Photo supply store told me Kodak has discontinued all development chemicals

    I moved to mixing my own chemicals and making my own paper when Kodak killed Azo and the last local photo store closed. Now there are few things to worry about changing except for paper stock.
  21. Re: Local Phot supply store told me Kodak has discontinued all development chemicals

    There's a thread on photrio about this. It seems that Sino Promise, which had been making the Kodak chemistry for the last several years(or having it made) has ceased production.

    Hey Darr,
    I've been to Carrabelle, too. First in the early 70s. And last in the mid-90s. I'll look some more, but I don't think any of my photos survived. I was shooting a 2 1/4 TLR in the 70s.

  25. Those doohickies that hold a lens board

    What is the correct term for those sliding doohickies that attach a lens board to the camera? Funny that I've never heard them called anything. And where can I buy some?

    Re: Sinar Norma Front Standard Seized Up

    After applying the liquid, tap the parts lightly with a brass hammer, wooden mallet, or something similar. The induced vibrations help the liquid to penetrate. And give it plenty of time to work. ...
  27. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    I don't use Flicker. I don't say the hardening effect disappears. The film becomes really prone to scratching when wet - thus it can scratch in the developer and stop long before it gets to the...

  29. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    I think X-Ray film is just prone to scratches when wet. I doubt hardener in fixer does much good as the film has already been wet in the developer and stop for several minutes. I think being...
