    Re: 5x7 enlargers?

    An Omega E-5 with a cold light head works well for BW but are very difficult to find anymore. However, they're big enough that shipping by USPS, FedEx, etc would be a major problem compared to...

    Re: 4x5 vs 5x7

    Look for one of the BW King inversion 5x7 tanks on the web. These are basically like a jumbo 120 reel and stainless steel tank, holding 6 sheets per reel/tank for each development cycle. They work...
  3. Re: Mounting enlarger and process lenses into Copal/Compur shutters.

    Some barrel-mount G-Clarons, earlier Schneider Repro-Clarons, and Computar process lenses were apparently designed to screw directly into various Compur/Copal standard shutters without the need for...

    Re: Rittreck View 5x7 camera manual

    The Rittreck with 5x7 back weighs slightly less than 4.3 KG, heavy but solid and well-made. It is a good 5x7 folding field camera - I have two - but not a camera for long hikes after taking into...

  8. Re: Just bought a Fujinon 135/5.6 W ( first type )

    Thank you for the information. I will try it sometime if I ever run across a 75 SWD. I like my little 75 /8 SW on 4x5.
  9. Re: Just bought a Fujinon 135/5.6 W ( first type )

    Not recent listings - I bought these 135 W lenses over time a few years ago. I have the 75/8 SW for 4x5 and it covers well. I never considered using a 75SWD on 5x7 as I found the 90/5.6 SWD to be...

  12. Re: Rodenstock Grandagon 115 vs Schneider Super Symmar 110 XL

    The Fujinon 105/8 NSW might fit the optical requirements on 5x7 as it has an image circle of 250 mm and hence quite adequate coverage. Both of my copies are very sharp and contrasty on 5x7. These...

    Re: BW-King 5x7 dev tank

    Yes, the Canhams are very very good and light for what you get, including longer bellows. However, unlike the Technika, there's not a rangefinder option for handheld use.
