Thanks Tuan, for notifying me of the return of the original LF site.
Andrea and Roberto, thanks for your respones.
If any one owns or has knowledge of the Wista SP 4x5 field camera, I have a lens mounting question. If you want to mount a Sch.58mm super angulon XL to this camera, do you require a wide angle...
I have no opinion on the Seneca, but you can get a good dose of it here. www.fiberg.com/cam/seneca.htm
Yes, 35mm has it's place in photgraphy. 35mm will capture the decisive moment,the horse and jockey spilling on the final turn. Yet place your self in front of a grand scenic and yes, large format...
I think I'll jump right in on this one. I use a Ries Deluxe Model B Tri-Lok with a Majestic Model 1200 on top. I use this set-up with either my 8x10 Agfa, 8x10 vintage Conley, or my 11x14 converted...
Matt, What can I say . Every one needs to find their own path to walk down. LF & MF both have thier own set of advantages and disadvantages. I am some what like you in the sense I get nervous when...
So little time, & all them beautiful, cool cameras and formats to play with! Am I a gadget nut? Heck Bruce, you only live once, buy the darn MF. dankowalsky@dankowalsky.com
Correction... I met to say " As Erik mentioned above", not Ed.
Hi Dan, Just thought I'd jump on the Crown Graphic bandwagon also. I have many LF camera's in an array of formats. Just to give you a little incentive of the neat little things you can do with this...
Artie, Also to Dan from the previous post. I do not have any camera designing url's on hand. I would like to mention the fact that if you want to design a view camera, the design and way to do it...
Thanks for all your help. From the answers of Micah,Dave and Geoffrey I came to the conclusion my three lenes I mentioned will not cover 11x14. Dave, thanks loads for the lens url. Micah, I need a...
I have two questions about the 11x14 format. First,what is the minimum amount of image cirlce to cover this format with little movement. And which of these len' s would be able to cover this format...
Hi Martin,
Doremus hit it right on the nail. In a general and non detailed explanation, this is how I approuch the ZS. First let me say that I am A self taught landscape photographer. From...
I have a Sironar S 240mm which I use with my 8x10. It has an image cirlce of 372mm. More coverage than the N. This is my most used lens. It's also more compact then a S/A.
Hi David, I cannot answer your question on the G-Claron. I must tell you though, there is no need to get into ROCKET SCIENCE over the minute differences over a Rodagon Rodenstock enlarging lens...
So I can take all my exposed film into my dark room and screw it all up, then ask all you guys and gals for help! Seriously, I make "artistic" landscape photographs because it's the best way I know...
This one has me stumped again. My question is about using my electronic flash (S unpak 4000 AF)on my 8x10 HOBO as fill flash. The mounted lens is a Schneider S/A 121 f8 (black version). My exposure...
I also ordered a 100 sheet box of grade 3 Azo on the 9th from Freestyle and it is suppose to arrive tomorrow. The stock # was 142- 0983. Now I am eager to see what shows up at the front door.
Hi Kevin, You may have any number of problems affecting your focus. First of all, the 480mm Ronar is a 19 inch lens. How long is your bellows draw? If you have an older Kodak D2, the bellows might...
...Forgot to mention. The lens in the H/M HOBO for now is a Kodak 127 ektar
Thanks for the spec's Geoffrey. The Gran landscape is one of the reasons for the wide coverage of this lens on the 8x10 format. I also think this would be a great street shooting lens on my Home...
Hello every one, I have a question about the 121mm Super Angulon lens I purchased and has not yet arrived. This lens has an image circle of 290mm @ f22. That is about an 11.6 in ch circle. When I...
Hello to all,

Forgot to mention....I do not reload holders in the field. I carry all the equipment in either a "Lowes" ZAG large plasic toolbox with wheels and carrying handle, or, a large soft shoulder strapped...
I carry with me 6 8X10 film holders on a planned outting. I will expose both sheets of film in one holder on the same image. This means I will shoot 6 different images. All the locating , ...
Mark, before I throw my two cents in, I would like to thank Bruce for mentioning the s/s spiral band. I purchased my Nikor tank on Ebay and did not recieve the band. On occasion during agitation,...
Robert, thank you for your response. I will look into the URL that you posted ,as for the english professor, Alec, loosen up man,I do admit after reading my post again, it is out of grammar. I am...
I just come across an Omega F 10x10 condensor enlarger for a good price and I ne ed to know if there is a cold light head like Aristo that sells one that is not the expensive variable one that sells...
I am just wondering if any one of the 8x10 shooters out there in large format la nd uses a 30 incher. My question is not the quality of any particular lens , bu t rather , what shots do you use it...

Thank you very much for the info on the enlarger, after reading both posts on the opinions of the consolidated enlarger I have difinetly ruled it out of the picture. I now have my sights on an...

Thanks loads for this ton of information on this topic , Dan
I sure would like to know if any of the seasoned large format hole drillers out there ever drilled your own lens board holes, in my case it would be a wood 6" r ounded corners deardorf board drilled...
Ron, I just purchased a Black Calument "C" series and from what I've gathered so far from the folks here is that it is an aluminum C-3. I also read where some one just said they had a black...
