Not to put one's foot into where it doesn't belong, but....
I have met Wall-H a few times, helping him as he gets into tech'l cameras. He's quite excited to try 4x5, but is still learning. As a...
Thank you for the wonderful comparison. There is a lot to be learned from this. A whole unknown area!
Depends on your level of concentration and ability to remember and work carefully with them. If yes, they can be fine. I prefer a simpler answer, as an infrequent shooter, rusty and sometimes in a...
I love this thread. Feel better already.
Agreed. Just to summarize:
Use the ruler test to see if anything is in focus.
If not, then lens, or camera mounting (vibration) likely culprits.
If so, then plane of focus off.
If negative...
Congrats on your new Canon. The comparison suggests something was off with the Epson, either clogged, or profiles. They aren't that far off.
I had a 3800, then a 4900, lots of clogging issues. For...
Excellent points. The larger picture is more important than the details... too often (especially with view/tech cameras) the new trend is to say portable, small and light. But when its all added up,...
Excellent point, well said. I am going to keep rereading this every time I get frustrated with the camera at hand.
My SW 23 does the same. Drew's recommendation makes a lot of sense: simple and removable, doesn't impact anything else.
Anyone mounting this to something other than a Chamonix?
In Chicago and can report grey skies but still buildings here!
That is one fine camera...didn't know of it, but really nice and precise.
Is this true? Never heard this before. Why is it the case?
Whoops. Sorry about that. Thanks for the correction.
Just to clarify, the RF is attached to the side, built in the casting. Not removable, but you are able to use the camera without referencing it.
No experience with this, but bought their GRaid 28Tb dual drive and am delighted. With T bolt-3, it fast, very quiet and so far without problems.
Whether a Technica is worth $8k or $10k is one matter. But the use of tools is another. Two small stories:
- in 1990 I went to work in a political office, and my mentor had a Montblanc fountain...
Thanks for this, and for the other recommendations above. If anyone has a lead on where to get one.... Time to hunt! The Cambo one is discontinued.
Any ideas for 2x3 Ebony? Has anyone tried the magnifiers for DSLR screens although maybe they would be a bit odd for a view camera?
Agreed. Personally, I'd start with 120 format, and "add features" as you think you need them. If movements are key, then look at what is available. A Cambo or other pancake tech cameras are pretty...
Maybe a 2x3 might be a bit easier. Gitzo made a monopod with three legs - I used it with MF camera in some Ecuadorian jungles, and keeping it low (<3'), was able to get up to 8" sharp exposures.
Interesting. Is the recessed lens mount 4544 still made? And does it use a Tecnica board style?
fantastic. And a sense of humor....
Thanks all...taking small steps into the light!
This is a bit embarrassing, but its been many many years since I used the Gossen Luna-Pro in the closet. Am trying some film, and have forgotten how to use it. Read the manual, but just a few...
Before you head to court, etc. consider it might simply be he messed up, can't fix it, and doesn't know/want to address this. So he's hiding from you. And likely his own shortcomings.
If that is...
Boy, that captured years with the Ebony. Loved it, miss it, couldn't do long or short so well, but what a beauty. Like you, I figured I was the problem. Thanks for this, got the nail right on the...
Very fine work, as always!
I had a 343 for many years, used it sparingly. It gave quite nice results, especially with 120 film. But it suffered from lack of use and got finicky. Tried repairing it with new belts, and thorough...
You can get the small threaded cable release noted earlier from Precision Camera Works (Bob) - in the process of relocating to Calif.
Gee guys, all these stories can make a grown man nervous. Is it OK to disregard? :)
Thank you all for both the tips and the history. Its all rather incredible. Looking forward to seeing this first hand.
Thanks for this. Franz Josef is on the itinerary... as is Punakaiki and Arthur's Pass... And those rocks are called Castle Hill Rocks. They look great. Exciting....
Am traveling to New Zealand's South Island, going up the west coast from Queenstown to Christchurch. Unfortunately not doing Milford Sound (at least not yet) due to time constraints but wonder if...
Thanks for all the good ID. Its at Tamarkin. Got a lot of old Linhof gear too... anyone need a NOS tripod, built like a tank....
Anyone know what this is? Saw at a camera dealers, and while it’s way beyond me, love was in the air. Comes with some sort of film back.. maybe 7x17?

Went to the symphony a few months back to hear a Bruckner concert. Sat next to a guy who was rather knowledgeable but seemed to know his stuff. Turns out he used to play a French Horn in the...
Have tried a number of different solutions, and over time, have drifted from the ballhead BH-40 to the Arca D4 geared head. Yes, its a bit heavier, but the precision is worthwhile. But sometimes a...
Have had Mindshifts. Prefer Fstop. Let me know if you are looking for the Mindshifts. Used lightly.
