Naturally, if you know in advance that you're going to be working with both 4x5 and 8x10, then it makes a lot of sense to buy kit with both formats in mind.

I have 2 Fuji GSW690iii's. Outstanding camera's and no electronics!
A TLR, with a fixed or perhaps with interchangeable lens?
Relatively compact, fairly inexpensive and less conspicuous.
Those lead-lined bags really mess with my x-ray vision, too! :)
Great rescue!
Hopefully, you can put them on a camera and let us see the results.
That's a really great picture. Thanks for sharing.
That's pretty!
Don't suppose you happen to have any shots taken with this set-up..?
I don't have experience with the Fuji SWD 90mm but I do have the Nikon SW 90mm + 75mm f4.5's and I had them put onto Linhof 'comfort board's' by Linhof.
These board's are sunken and have a shutter...
I can't imagine this enterprise as being a "get rich, quick plan!", but far more of a "labour of love", for you, Mael.
I presume you get a great deal of personal satisfaction from restoring these...
Very impressive, Mael.
That's great to hear! The camera looks sweet. I really need to send a few items off...
I often think it's actually far better and cheaper in the long run to get things fixed rather than to try and...
At 105mm, I very much doubt it will cover 4x5".
Hi Steve,
Yes, the base of the Durst Codrum is excentric and personally, I've only ever used a motor base, so I can't vouch for alternative methods such as table top or in a water bath.
Regarding...
That's looking great. Best of luck!
I have a Toyo 810M and I have monorail set-ups.
I keep both simply because I don't believe the one can replace the other.
So, unless you seriously need the money...
I find the title of the post in the WTB section generally more than sufficient. So,why bother opening or viewing it?
And I'd still do the same even if it were in the for sale section where I often...
Really enjoyed the film. Thanks for sharing.
You're right that they look very similar almost identical, but I have both and I have used both, and I can't remember why, but the Ilford drum didn't work as well as the Durst, so I avoid using it....
Hi Steve,
I use the Durst codrum 205 on a motor base with 8x10" with no complaints. Personally, I give a 5min pre-soak, and I both tilt and turn the drum around, if the motor base doesn't have...
Happening to me. Three times yesterday.
Whatever you decide, you'll have a truly wonderful time, simply because it's hard not to on Iceland!
And NO amount of equipment or images will ever match the lived experience.
Good-luck with your...
It's impossible to try and predict the weather on Iceland other than it's predictably unpredictable.
What I would say, is going for a longer period, say a month, vastly increases your odds of fine...
It shouldn't be a problem. Since you already have them both, just give it a go.
The Femoneg AM allows printing of 4x5" including the film rebate with Femogla AM glass inserts. But good-luck finding one and that's affordable!
The common Femoneg with Femogla glass inserts...
I think it's a great idea.
If I were you, I'd probably be taking a close look at some of the newer more modern offerings, not only Intrepid but also one of the following makers;

The video is clearly expressed as being made in response to questions about short enlarger times.
If it were the intention of the video to make the 'best' print of the scene, then he would have...
I believe, you're mistaken. Take a look at the tone of the sky.
Test-strips.
I will admit, that I found my one 'welded' retaining ring episode so 'traumatic', I've taken to asking about being able to remove lenses from lensboards, before all future purchases! :)
Wise decision. Although gnawing through the retaining ring might be on its own, sufficient.
So simply put, there isn't one absolute answer to your question. However, what I, and I believe a great many others do, is try to be as consistent as possible with each negative, during each print...
The truth of the matter is, I don't want all or any of my prints to be identical. Nor do I wish every time I go into the darkroom to be identical.
The moment I 'let go', was the moment I really...
DITTO
I've used them for decades, flawlessly. I really don't think you'll be disappointed by either. And I much prefer the dials, despite the slight bulk, over their sometimes more compact digital...
I had a similar problem with a Sinaron 210mm on a sinar board and gave it to the Sinar specialist at the time. They separed the shutter and lens board but only at the expense of shearing the copal...
Awesome. A great find and much appreciated.
What makes me think, pinhole, has to do with how the flare spreads as the bellows are extended, as in the closer photo shown in the final negative.
In my case, I did some portraits with various lens...
I had something similar a while back with my Toyo 810M. Check the bellows for pinholes even if they look new or perfect. Darkened room and small bright light source. Mine had loads, so I replaced...
The newer/latest Linhof multi focus viewfinders have a tilting mechanism corresponding to the lens focal length and compensates for parallax.
So indeed, focus with the rangefinder and compose with...
Firstly, I'm really pleased that you've solved the problem and got the machine up and running again as intended.
Just for clarity, both joints work admirably well and I believe, both were used on...
This one is complete but there are often just the top and bottom for sale......
