Can you stow an extra 5 gal water can somewhere on/in the RV for extra wash water? Can you add a drain tube that lets you dump the wash water on the ground under the RV, thus not filling up your...

Drew, can you post it? Thanks!

It must be 20 years since I've been in Central Camera. I used to buy my 120 & 70mm double perf Tri-X 100' rolls from them. Narrow store, very long. I remember that their used prices were on the...

The Air Forces had plenty of motor driven reconnaissance cameras that used 5" roll film and made 4x5 frames. IIRC they also had some motorized cameras that used 8" rolls and made 8"x8" negatives.

Bruce, how true! I tried to support Calumet as much as I could around 1999-2007 but they were plain dense. A couple of the support folks were good but for the most part they made a lot of dumb...

I love RC paper. I use it for all my contacts, postcards, and 8x10's that I give out. For 11x14, 12x16, 16x20, & 20x24 prints it is strictly FB paper. My choice is Ilford Multigrade IV.

Now that sound interesting. I assume the portraits were done in color; did you ever shoot B&W with the Ross lens?

Thanks guys! That's a lot to absorb & think about. If the price doesn't astronomically high, I may jump in.

I've been adapting a number of lenses to be used on my bellows and Hasselblad 2000FC/M...

There's a 4x5 lens listed on eBay as a soft-focus Dogmar. It's a C.P. Goerz Berlin Dogmar 21cm f/4.5 'Soft Focus Portrait Lens' .

Are Dogmar lenses soft-focus?

Thanks for posting.

I'll see if the Commander-In-Chief wants to go. About a 90 minute drive each way.

Thanks Dan. I'll give it a go.

Vinny,

Thanks! Weird that Advanced Search doesn't find them. Might be a database issue?

I noticed that I'm listed as having 14 posts (15 with this one). When I do an advanced search looking for post by my USER NAME, search returns 3 posts. It appears to me that there are 11 posts...

I did not know that Calumet had bought Cambo. I was under the impression that they were Cambo's US distributor. Who owns Cambo now?

I've been away from this form for quite awhile and after reading some of the news threads it's my understanding that in this forum, LF is now defined as 4"x5" or larger. 6x9, 6x12, and 6x17 are not...

Years ago I stumbled into a Beseler 57MB with an Aristo cold light head. Nice enlarger; moded it a bit with Beseler 45 parts.

Negative carriers are very hard to find - I use a Zone VI 5x7 carrier...

I LOVE my Horseman 6x9 backs! They work great with my Cambo 23SF.

I have two the Wista backs if anyone is interested. They will ONLY fit the Wista Quickslide back.

Bought them for my Cambo 23SF but they DO NOT fit!

Don't forget, you can still use sheet film holders!

Sometimes the 90mm is just to wide but 210 is too long. I find that the 135mm on 6x9 is much more useable than a 150. I use a 105mm a lot and I also like to use a telephoto. In this case the 150...

I use a Cambo SF23. It is a 6x9 view but for $700 you can get a 4x5 conversion kit for it from Calumet. The SF23 is out of production now but with some looking you should be able to locate one.

I bought a Beselt 5x7 MOT enlarger with a cold light head years ago for a song. I'm glad I did. Yes I do shoot 5x7 but that's not the reason I bought it.

The reason I got a 5x7 was so I could...

Get the 11x16 Cascade. Yes it does 11x16. This means you can wash two 8x10 prints side by side in the same slot. Some 11x14 washers are just that - 11x14 and you can't fit two 8x10 prints in the...

Can this back be adapted to a Korona 5x7 field view? It seems to me that a 5x7 camera would work better as 178mm is 7".

Would a 210 lens vignett when used on a 5x7?

Thanks!

Tony

I recently purchased a Cambo 23SF 6x9 view camera. It came with a Horseman 6x9 roll film back. I picked up some used 2.25 x 3.25 sheet film holders (SFH) and to my surprise, the Cambo back won't...
