I leave my uv filter on mine and will take it off if I feel lens flare might be a problem. I've not had problems with vignetting shooting straight on with the filter on this lens. With movements,...

34 years old and I've been shooting large format for about 10 years. I shoot anything from 35mm to 5x7. I became interested in large format when I first noticed that my grandparents pictures...
I have a super graphic and enjoy using it. My lenses are the 135mm optar, 90mm optar, 8 1/4" tele Raptar, and a 15" tele Raptar (tripod only on this monster of a lens) I have used anything from...

Thanks for the advice. I can hardly wait for it to arrive.
Have you considered making a type of sliding back, where only a 4x10 slit is allowed to reach the ground glass? Then you can shoot two immages with a regular 8x10 holder/darkslide.
I just stumbled on to a 135mm Wide Field Ektar on ebay that came with a 5x7 came ra I bought, that has yet to arrive. Assuming the lens is in decent condition ( I know it's a big assumption), what...
I shot 35mm Tech Pan, and the last two rolls of Scala and had it all processed in the sepia. I have not printed them yet, but the projections are stunning. Even the tech pan held detail through a...
