The main issue I think you may be up against, is the ability to access fitment of a cable release.

Rick, the wonders of photography.
Here we are, looking at a family photo in 2024 with one of the participants, and that photo is showing members of your family which spans a period of 172 years;...
I have both of these lenses, both Fujinon and both 67mm filter size.
For quite some time I thought I needed a 75mm lens so I could have some movements greater than the approximately 5mm possible...
I really didn't understand what kind of diopter lenses you were ordering for that price, but after following the link you gave, I see that as an extremely cheap way to do it.
Another great tip.
younghoon Kil, many thanks for the links.
I'm chasing up something in Germany at the moment, if that doesn't come off I'll pursue what you have given me.
younghoon Kil, I've had a look around and although you didn't give a direct link for what you purchased, can you tell me if this is basically what you have?

I've been using a Stearman tank from the original kickstart thing.
Fill the tank to the little tab you can see in the filling side, about 460-465ml give or take. I always mix 500ml, then only use...

I tripped the shutter just as a very small cloud covered the very...
FFA I like both as well, but I prefer the Gated Power for it's simplicity.
I have the free standing version of this enlarger, so I'm unsure if the baseboard mounts the same way, but on my enlarger the baseboard is mounted by four independent and very adjustable bolts with a...
I have the original Kickstarter Stearman Press tank, which is the one with the solid film holders, it has worked perfectly since day one. Which must be somewhere between 6-7 years ago.
To say I'm...
Dead Set, great imagery there.
I've noted over the decades, that that is how many artists work; somehow they seem to create something from nothing.
Has to be heaps better than peanut butter, after all a peanut is not a nut and...
Thanks Marc, very interesting and thought provoking.
All of the horizontal darkrooms we had were equipped with vertical metal walls; we used round magnets to hold the paper in place.
Probably around 90% of our work was colour, working in total...
If you do eventually get a Peak focusing aid, then you will most likely be holding it in your left hand when up against a vertical wall. Due to the design of the Peak and the fact the mirror is on...
Iceland is about the windiest place around, probably second only to Antarctica. We spent a couple of months there in 2017 and it was one of the best places we've ever visited, you will certainly...
Is was reasonably common with our product photography, all lit with flash and using transparency film, to use colour correction (CC) filters stuck on the rear of the lens using Blue Tack.
Mostly...
I've used both of these enlargers in a professional setting. I've also used bigger versions of both of these enlargers and horizontal versions of the De Vere.
In essence, both are really good at...
I've just had a close look at my 2509N reel and the paddles.
Now I don't have any sheets of film in the reel slots, but I noticed something which may be relevant to single rotary developing, as...
I agree with Ulophot, neat.
Resolution seems to be unbelievable.
I backpacked my Calumet CC400 monorail camera, virtually the same as Maris described. Eventually, and after about two years of use, I managed to pick up my Shen Hao HZX45-IIA wooden folder, which has...
I saw this a couple of days ago, the final image shown, is pretty good.
I bought my Gossen Profi Six light meter in 1985 when on a visit to Germany.
Tremendous value and it has been with me on motorcycles, hikes, trucks, and various trips to quite a few countries...
I have the Gossen Lab and have used it quite extensively, but that was decades ago. I used it with my ProfiSix meter.
I bought both the meter and the enlarging attachment in 1985; I think I used...
There is a little tab, attached to the lid. This tab can be seen as you look down through the filling/baffle side of the two openings.
If you fill to just cover this tab, then you have covered the...
Hmm, I didn't know that, or more likely, I've forgotten that earlier ones with different optics and filter sizes existed. Starting to forget things more these days.... :)
Thanks, good advice and I have once been contacted by a seller who on listing second time around did contact me with an offer, however it apparently sold before I could get back. I'm in no rush, one...
Well Drew, you need to look at this small lesson in how to play a didgeridoo. Can't have your didgeridoo just looking good, can we? :)
Filmed probably around 15 years ago, at the start he...
Ondrejek, are you new to large format, or new to wide angle lenses in the 4x5" format?
This may help people formulate answers pertinent to your question(s).
As to cost, or value. I have been on...
Good one Drew, but I would use woomera's for a tripod instead of boomerangs.
A woomera is generally sturdy and as a youngster in the 1950's living outback for a time, I saw people using them. I'm...
Swedish patent No. 17017 called "Gauge Block Sets for Precision Measurement". Often referred to as "Jo blocks" after their inventor, Carl Edvard Johansson.
I would suggest that as the inventor was...
Graham Patterson, Aldus Pagemaker and Aldus Freehand were the top of the tree using portable computers instead of mainframe computers. Eventually they came out on top and if it wasn't for Paul...
I have the Fujinon f/5.6 65mm and once I started using a centre filter, I find I have very few focusing issues. Using a centre filter, flattens out the bright centre making it roughly equal to the...
Great stuff Michael, next time I'm heading down the west coast of Vic I'll see if we can meet up.
Flogged a V50 Monza Sport, sixth or seventh off the production line, through western Europe in...
Just a thought, it is possible to overfill the SP-445 slightly.
There is on my unit a small tab which equates to the top of the film (or maybe holder). This can be seen when looking down into the...
Michael, better change your location... :D
Good to hear you are still using your 8x10, does it still look as good as when I saw it? A really pretty camera.
Interesting camera, looks to have an inbuilt mini bail back and comes with a ground glass protector, both handy.
Somewhere on the web there was a clear SP-445 tank filled with water and a dye was inserted, enabling one to see swirling of the liquid. From this view it was determined that the main flow of the...
Mark, this looks fantastic.
I basically have enough time available to visit the city for one exhibition, this is the exhibition I'll be attending out of the now two possibilities.
