I use Simplify 3D to slice and create the GCode files. Design for the lens boards was done with TurboCad

I actually started a thread on that subject:

Fill it with water and look for drips?

You would really have to leave it in a hot car or our in the hot direct sun, neither of which any of us is likely to subject their gear to.

I actually found some brown filament that nearly...

Phone (Motorola) is about 6 months old

I upload the images to my Windows PC and then select them from there. I have not rotated the images at any time.

The auto rotate was turned on, now off...

Some images in my posts are rotated 90 degrees.

How can I correct this, or better yet prevent it?

Here is an example:

Well, I found some PETG filament that is a reasonably close match to the wood of the camera.

My other 4X5, a Graphic View which is in wonderful condition. The trunk looks like a refugee from both World Wars.

Pretty camera, love the wooden front rise.

Me, I would have rotated the image showing the ground glass so the tree was upright just to mess with people.

Ooo.... Pretty bellows! Nice looking camera.

If you are ever looking for company to go out stomping around with view cameras let me know. I have spent considerable time collecting photons from Southern, Central and Northern AZ over the last 30...

I thought that looked kinda familiar. Thanks for posting the information.

Let's go the other direction, Pentax 110 with 20-40mm Zoom...

Mine is serial # 512 or some such. Early models did not have swings. Mine was imported through an outfit in Hawaii.

I added the Fresnel and lined the glass plate. My previous camera, 15 years...

I had to make lens boards and the 3D printer came to the rescue:

Would gassing the bottle with nitrogen before capping it after use be of an advantage?

Ilfotec HC seems to be largely unavailable in the places I have looked, when I do find it the cost is $90 for a liter. Good thing it lasts I guess...

Ilfotec DD-X shows up a lot, how does that...

I switched away from PLA due to pieces being exposed to our desert heat and warping. I work strictly in PETG.

The material I used is Matt Black but actually comes out satin. Looks very nice. ...

I selected the Ifosol3 due to two reasons.

The fact it seemed like Kodak had gotten out of the photographic chemistry trade and stocks of their products on the shelf were few.

Ilfosol3 was...

Re-embarking into large format after a 20 year hiatus.

Plans at this point are to shoot Ilford FP4 and a little Ilford Ortho Plus.

I am looking at developers and currently have a bottle of...

With the rainbow of Krylon spray paints I bet I could find a can that closely matches the older cherry wood of this camera if I was so inclined.

The raised part on the back is almost 0.250" thick and extends out as far as the opening in the camera will allow. Flange is as thick as the camera allows at 0.965. Four top and bottom layers and...

I just acquired a Nagaoka 4X5 which came with no lens boards. Having a machine shop in my garage (and no room for cars) I whipped one up out of some 2024 aluminum sheet that I had sitting around.

Photographer's Formulary was not terribly clear on the differences. I have not dabbled in Kallitype for over 10 years so maybe I have not become aware of teh differences.

As much as I despise B&H, I went and read the note.

Thanks for the link, that helped alot.

Bill

Forgive me if this has been covered, I did not find it in searching.

Anyone have a good handle on the differences between their olde and new Kallitype kits?

Years ago I did a lot of Kallitype...

I have one and love it. I have the Zone VI compensating timer and get very predictable results.

I fabricated a filter drawer when I installed this in my Omega D2 that goes below the lamp housing....
