Yes, it’s the overall brightness of the image. I’ll post an example here tomorrow.
Yes, I used the DNG 16bit option whereby SilverFast doesn’t use any settings.
Any scanning gurus in here using SilverFast?
When scanning a B&W negative (4x5) that is overexposed about a stop or so I cannot get a good scan from SilverFast. Nothing seems to work. The...
I’d like to buy a Toyo 4x or 3.6x focusing loupe. Do any of you want to sell one? Thank you!

UPDATE:
I bought 3 boxes of 4x5 film holders from MAC. So that’s 6 total holders.
I did a light leak test today and sure enough the suspected holder has a light leak.
I decided to look at...
These were new boxes but have plastic dark slides. I have not heard back from Toyo yet. I hope to replace them with the aluminum dark slides.

I am new to 4x5 and recently bought a Toyo 45AX. I also bought 3 boxes of film holders (6 film holders total). The dark slides seem to be plastic. I just ran into the problem you are describing on...
I notice when looking for a lens many of already mounted to a lens board of various brands. I am about to buy a Toyo 4x5 and am now looking for lenses. I was told in order to remove a lens from a...
Good to know... thank you Peter. Hey would you be willing to sell your extender?
Hi all,
I did the math and to use a 300mm on a Toyo 45AX and focus at 25ft from my camera I would need to extend the bellows to 312mm (Max bellows on this camera is 321mm).
Is extending the...
Ok so if the tree is 25ft and I’m using a 300mm lens, I’d need 312mm worth of bellows extension.
The Toyo is 321mm (421 if I add an extender - for over $800!!!)
The Chamonix H-1 is 350mm.
...
Thanks Eric!

That’s true but I’d collapse it and put it in my backpack. I don’t enjoy hiking with the camera in the tripod.
I also don’t like how the front standard is not connected to the bed. Also the tilt...
[QUOTE\] IMO, why not get an N or F model? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...[/QUOTE
Because I don’t like having to set it up from a folding position. The H-1 is pretty much already...
I think someone mentioned the bellows is not long enough for a 300mm except if focused at infinity. The tree is 25ft from my camera and I have no idea if I can do that with a 300mm on the H-1.

Well I’ve come full circle I think. I almost bought a Toyo 45AX (very similar to a 45AII) but I wanted stop in here and find out what you think.
The Toyo is about $1200 more than the Chamonix...
The main thing is has that slight tilt or slant affected your photographs?
Well, that is disappointing! I was about to buy it tonight. Hmmmm..... better think more about this!
Yes I have read that on Chamonix's site and was concerned with it a bit. I have also been told it's really not a big deal so I dunno. Since I have never used any 4x5 since high-school I don't...
Beyond my budget!
I’m assuming there is a way to lock focus once you’ve set it?
Haha! I wanted an 8x10 to do platinum prints and some silver contact prints but I’ll stick with 4x5 for awhile and scan.
Haha! Yes well... I came close to buying an 8x10 last week! Whew!
So I recently sold my FujiFilm GFX 50s in order to buy this 4x5 and shoot film. Some people think I am crazy but I really like the idea of nothing automatic! I also prefer the look of film no matter...
How do you all deal with windy days? Many of the places I go to have wind. Sometimes it's pretty gusty and strong. Do you just pack it up and call it a day or are there secret ways to keep large...
Ok I see. I like how the focus is on the back. I think on the H1 it's on the sides. Yes, I am in the US (Santa Barbara, CA). I frequently drive 100 miles N to the Sand Dunes and photograph there. I...
I am not familiar with the "worm screw" focusing but I am new to 4x5 so I guess that might be a good thing. The other thing is I want to buy a camera and not add too much too it... I probably won't...
I am about to buy a Chamonix 4x5. I am considering an F2 or an H1. I am leaning toward the H1 because it doesn't fold up and the back standard just seems like it is more easy to lock into place over...
