Why not? That might help clarify what you're looking for.
That depends entirely on your purposes and your criteria for quality, including your taste in rendering. For commercial use the manufacturers recommended middling apertures like f/22 as optimal. ...
There are many, many large format lenses with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 - for example, essentially all modern general-use plasmats (various generations of Rodenstock Sironar and Schneider Symmar,...
The more common double-extension 8x10 Tachihara has a maximum bellows draw of around 23", the triple-extension is about 34".
Actually, modern lenses aren't one way - they're lots of different ways. Similarly, Tessars don't all look the same, even classic Tessars. If there's a particular look you're after, you'll need to...
I have tested the listed URLs for the US participating dealers. All of them work.
They can, but they don't necessarily. If that's a concern each particular lens needs to be evaluated for its own merits.
1. Only the listed dealers are participating. Any stock that others might get will be second-hand and likely delayed.
2. Participating dealers are not obliged to charge the same prices, though...
Schneider describes the G-Claron as "A symmetrical, six-element large format taking lens particularly corrected for 1:1 linear magnification. The lens can be used for angles of view up to 64 degrees...
What do you mean by "natively magnify"?
But this...
...is indeed precisely the point - what magnification or magnification range a lens is optimized for.
For example, from Rodenstock's...
Note that the closing date is earlier than last year, too - June 1 this time:

Tony Decaneas, who founded the Panopticon Lab and Panopticon Gallery in Boston, was also the exclusive agent for the Bradford Washburn estate, and the North/South America agent for Vittorio Sella. I...
The 120 Nikkor-AM has ample coverage for 4x5 at 1:1 magnification. That's what it's designed for.
Last year it was announced on May 22, with the order period running until July 7.
Other end of Cambridge: poor guy having trouble keeping up with his 6.001 project assignments...
He is entitled to a receipt without having to pay extra. The post office I use most of the time gives me one every time without my even needing to ask.
To follow up on Darr's point, service here is highly variable across locations. My experience with my local post office has been pretty good, but at his post office in a different state my brother...

+1. Richard restored a whole plate Century for me - I sent it to him in decrepit condition and got back a cosmetically beautiful, completely functional camera.
As Richard builds his own cameras...

No such list has been made public. Schneider has refused to respond to questions about this.
Reviving this thread to add some new material:

Michael overhauled a Yashica TLR for me including CLA on the shutter, which was an early-'60s vintage Copal.
B&H still lists a wide variety of Schneider caps in stock or available to order:

A diagram on the wall showed a projection lens as part of the setup.

Many of the pictures were quite soft overall, and where there were areas of crisp focus, they often weren't...
I saw this show today, got a close look at the prints.
Lots of hype over... not much. No image quality breakthrough here, whatsoever. She could have done better with an ordinary 8x10 camera,...
Naej: what specific areas do you have in mind when you say "midtown"?
Just stumbled across this photographer of whom I was previously unaware, who works in large format. Haven't yet decided what I think of his work, but I thought I'd share in case it might be of...

There's a guy named George Brown who does business on eBay under the name "apogeebee" and who has offered enlarger-head CLAs for many years now. He did a nice job fixing my gummed-up LPL 4500II...
Something to watch out for when shopping: many 5x7 Elwoods are missing the tapered diffusion glass needed to even out the illumination.
It hasn't.
Print with more drama if that is what you need to do at this point in your life to make pictures that you find satisfying. If you don't know, try it and see - print some pictures that...
If you truly want a pure cotton rag paper, AFAIK there is only one - Ilford Multigrade Art 300. But it has a very distinctive look and more demanding handling characteristics.
This. I've never had to replace a tray, have added from time to time to enable extra process steps or when I've needed a new size. The earliest of my Paterson trays are now more than 40 years old,...
I've not done tray development of negatives, but with prints in a flat-bottom tray I sometimes have trouble with the print sinking to the bottom of the tray and being difficult to grab quickly and...
Sorry for my delay in responding!
Yes, it does, though I can't recall ever needing to use it. But sure, if you have a heavy lens on the front standard and you need to point the camera way...
