What happened to the mouse?
I like and use the system Ralph Lambrecht put forth in his book, “Way Beyond Monochrome.”
I masked off one side of the holder and sprayed the tab silver.
How many gallons will the print washer hold?
I roughly calculated that the 220 capacity of the table would allow for 22 gallons of water, likely much more than the capacity of the washer. My...
Here's what Ken Hough recommended on his website:
Deardorff Care and Lubrication
Following these instructions will increase the longevity of your camera.
It is your obligation to your camera...
Large format?
(800) 922-5255 is their toll free number.
Does it slip in both directions? On mine, it slips in one direction, but not the other so I let it rotate in just one direction. I have tried replacing the drive gear with no observable results.
I think John hit on the issue: it sounds like your lens board is too thin. As someone else suggested, make a spacer so the retaining ring will actually tighten up. I would forget about the...
Those three lenses are pretty close in focal length. You might consider whether you need all three. If their condition is equal, I’d pick the Dagor.
Not a Deardorff.
They don’t work on Fidelity holders. Just forget about them.
Probably the correct size of snap cap will fit.
Here’s a how-to for a DIY temp regulator.

Chamonix has a bag bellows for their 8x10, although the website shows it as “Sold Out” right now.
I just checked mine. It was tight, but putting it face down on a jar opener and it came right off the shutter.
Unfortunately they probably don’t offer in 5x7. Currently my favorite format, at least until I run out of film in a couple of years.
Found this accidentally on Ebay tonight: ...
Well, that was certainly a helpful addition to the dialogue! Pretty usual for you!
Yes, the Cambo viewer rotates a full 360 degrees. See picture with the camera back in vertical position. Cambo viewers used to be common on Ebay. I’ve seen Chinese knockoffs in the same design so...
darr’s posting reminded me that I also have this bellows fixture with a magnifier lens. I think this probably came with my camera when I bought it. I have rarely used it, preferring a dark cloth. ...
I don’t know about the Linhof viewer, but the Cambo viewer can be made to work. It requires a simple bracket on each side. The brackets started as simple 1/2” (?) aluminum angles that were bent...
Just my two-cents, but I think that, unless you are using lenses larger than Copal 3, you are better off mounting your lenses on Technika size boards and using a Sinar-to-Technika adapter. Much less...

Covid ruined national parks. Go in winter and avoid the insane crowds.
If it’s too big for 3/8, it can’t be too small for 1/4.
Turn the knob for the 1/4” screw and then turn the larger knob to snug it tight.
Use step rings to get all your lenses to a common size (I use 67mm). Then get all your filters in that size. Glass filter from B&W or Heliopan are best quality. Better, I think than resin or gels....
Here you go. . .
Series VI is the filter size. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_filter#Series_filters
Linhof Technika. Lots to be found on Ebay.
I have an H1 with 4x5, 5x7 and 4x10 backs. It’s a good camera as all Chams are. I bought it to make an all purpose to traveling with three formats. I actually only use 5x7 and 4x10. The...
Save yourself some stress and find a competent local hobby machinist who can replicate the knob for you. It will be easier than buying a bunch of hardware that doesn’t work.
If it has Loctite as Richard suggests, a drop or two of Acetone (aka nail polish remover) will soften up the Loctite and make it easier to screw off.
Bookbinders tape is what I have used. By all means, remove all the old tape. I’d use GooGone followed by alcohol as GooGone is a little oily.

I received my order from Badger last week.
