Been a while on the forum, quick question. I just picked up a 150mm Xenar 4.5 on a synchro compur shutter. Seller said the shutter is sticky on under 100 speeds.

Can I unscrew this lens and put...

I've cycled a lot of back roads from north of SF to SD. I'm from Brooklyn. But it's not a bad looking state. :)

Thanks for all the refresher course! I think I remember now.

Okay, maybe its been a while. I mean, a LONG time. I still have 1 box of Type 55 and maybe 8 or so sheets in another one.

I completely forgot how to remove the sheet, without processing it. I...

I do the old studio trick of using a magazine or a book or newspaper to focus. If the words are sharp...

Thanks for all the replies. I do think I have a weird sample. I tried it on my Chamonix 4x5 and it is a little brighter but still it doesn't look sharp at all. But hey, it wasn't expensive and an...

So obvious that I forgot to do that!! I have a Chamonix 4x5 and the board on my Wolly fits. Surprised I haven't done this before. :)

I don't think it's factory. Looks like some plain jane gg. No lines

Okay, next question. GG sources? I have a Kodak Master View.

Yeah, mine goes past the numbers. I can kinda focus in the middle and stop it down some, but still annoying. And I'm finally getting to the point where I'm like "darn it, I wanna use this more...

Do you have a pointer to fresnels on line? I don't really know what to get/where to get one and what works with ground glass.

Hi guys,
Can I use a fresnel of some type to see a little better with my Wolly 159mm?
Darn thing is so dark even on a good day

I've had those shoes. And that helmet. Hmm, and that crank too! I still ride, I'm an ultra distance rider these days. Clipless pedals and brifters are best invention on bike. Everything else,...

That's great info!! Thanks! yeah, I don't have time to fiddle with the back and make it fit :). I'm more a ductape/gorilla tape/glue guy.

Just wondering...maybe one of these days I can find one but only if it existed. Did the Master View ever come with a 4x5 back? If not, anyone know if an existing back from another camera will fit...

Apug had one thread one time like 15 years ago. I was so jealous of everyone's darkroom. Mine was so jerry rigged compared to some peoples. But it worked!

I'm "ok" with kalli as well as andreos suggested. I wanna get better at it cause its looks similar to PT/PD printing. So I'd rather practice with cheaper methods/techniques. Once I get better at...

Thanks! They look great. I like that little extension for the lens you got. Interesting. I can extend my Master View pretty far but I would need to jack it up with another tripod in the front to...

Hi all,
I have a barrel lens mounted on a board. I haven't used it yet but looking for some sample images with 19" lens on 8x10. Any kind of images will do: portraits, head, head/shoulder,...

got it! Thanks!!!
Now I have the image and a thumbnail. Weird.

Haven't uploaded in many many years. I've lost all my darkroom equipment. I now just have trays, tubes, a flimsy wire and some clothspins. I do have software which I suck at. I'm still struggling...

I have the Formulary TF-4 fixer at home without hardener. I wanna mix a seperate batch with hardener. Problem is, I happen to have Heico hardener at home, but no longer have Heico fixer.

Can I...

that's one cool bike!!

Brilliant!

Here in America, that's what we say when something is very cool! (its a good thing)

That's badass.

That is pretty nice!

My baby in a baby stroller. A bogen 3050 is no fun to carry. The big wheels on these make it easy to go over bumps. Room for the Master View on the seat, film holders on bottom, and dark cloth in...

Just testing my equipment since I haven't touched my LF in years, like years and years.
Processed this for eventual Kallitype and Platinum so about 50% more development

Testing out my Wolly 159mm and Epson V700. Been a while. Wasn't even sure this Betax shutter was working. But I had it CLA'd from Flutot a bunch of years ago and then all my LF gear and...

I've been printing for decades (darkroom) and for years now, only do quick edits on computer for web viewing. Someone wants a couple of prints from me. Not paying, just nice prints for them to...

Thanks vinny. For my 8x10's, I just wanna good look at the negs before I start doing some alt process on them.

I saw on the internets somewhere that said someone did it. I see it can do 4x5 negs. The glass area looks large. I'm wondering if it can just be masked out with some cardboard and scan 8x10 negs?

Stunning!

Ahhhh Very cool! Thanks.

Oh, not sure why it says Join date june 2011. I've been on this forum for YEARS. I think it had to do with some DB changes.

Hi everyone! Been a while. So busy. Back getting my 8x10 out.
I have a barrel lens that is 19". Was wondering if anyone has links or resources out there with photos from _any_ 19" lens on an...
