ALVANDI Camera: I haven't been on this forum for some time. I was flipping through the pictures and instantly recognized your bright breathtaking color Velvia! I love your work!
I think this is a really great post Bernice.
I am happy large format is still revered and practiced at a high level that most photographers from a 50 years ago would be proud of. It is different...
I will give some hard learned advice that may not apply for small amounts used for lens cleaning.
The vapors of any highly volatile cleaning fluid can be absorbed by your eye and change the...
For what it is worth silicone bronze is stronger than brass and the threads will last longer. It is sometimes used in threaded machine tool carriages.
The main thing with threads (or bushings...
I talked to CatLAB over a year ago and they mentioned they were able to build brand new 8x10 Deardorffs but not in the 4x5 size.
I have 2 Miller DS10's.
I Payed $1,100 for a complete kit 10 years ago that I have used a LOT.
Recently I bought a very nice used one that was missing the fluid head handle for $125.
They are...
Seb, Both photos are Great! Talk about opposite. Desolation and heat, Power and cold!
I saw that listing and wondered how good it would work.
I guess it must be pretty sweet!
This Navistar product is very similar but superior to the Ford product I listed earlier and is the one to use: International RTV Silicone Rubber - T-442, Part Number 1830858C1. It is expensive but...
I felt I gave good advice since my understanding is the original poster "Greg" wanted an idea for glue that allowed adjustment for a few minutes and would then hold permanently.
The glue I...
Genuine Ford Fluid TA-31 RTV Silicone Sealant
If this stuff sticks it will never come apart. Sometimes it will permanently bond an oil pan to an engine block. The only way to get it off is to...
Your Velvia makes Iran sing!
Thanks for posting the rare Plaubel literature Daniel Unkefer!
tomwilliams - sorry for my late reply. The Plaubel part numbers are bewildering to say the least. I am sure Daniel's catalog will be a huge help. I believe in general some of the 1960's cameras...
Does your Profia needs a 120mm or 160mm lens board?
This expired listing shows the same board as 121mm:
...
Daniel, thanks for the catalog. I am scared to ask if you have the catalog for the larger Junior 9x12 - 4x5. Finding accessories can be tough without part numbers although I am slowly finding the...
Daniel, Great work! I wish I had something like the bag bellow viewer for my Plaubel 4x5 Junior. Your work is way over my head and skillset but I love your Plaubel. Everything on my Junior is...
You would never look at even a weak laser if you have had retina surgery with a laser! It feels like a bullet going right through your brain while a Doctor yells at you to hold still.
That 2D is pretty!
Sorry I posted another camera sale site. Duh! I got deleted.
The standard camera sure looks sleek, simple and modern and I wish I had one!
Pretty impressive website Kinografx. Glad to see someone that could use anything doing your own thing with a great and unique camera! I wonder how hard focusing would be on the Standard without a...
Kind of makes your stomach churn doesn't it? I do better with a bird house.
I was waiting for someone else to say it!
I came across this very obscure video by the Tennessee Deardorff Co. - I hope the link works but there is a good chance it may not:

It can be extremely frustrating learning the ropes of large format photography or any other complicated endeavor. I often read that a careful beginner can put together a very nice camera kit for $500...
Very nice image George!
andrewd: They are very good quality but expensive for you. If these are the screws you are dealing with I am sure you will be happy. It took me almost a month of searching the internet to figure...
This should get you the set for $50.99: https://www.brownells.com/aspx/search/productdetail.aspx?sid=1932&pid=44342
You can buy the bits individually but it is surprising how many of the different...
Please do not try any home made screwdrivers. I am quit sure you are dealing with narrow European Style screw slots. The heads are large for size of screw. The slots are very narrow, shallow and...
