Just thought I'd check in and share a solution I found that works pretty well. The Fjallraven Photo Insert, Small for their Kanken backpack is just big enough for the 45H-1 to squeeze in. It is a...

Thanks, that is reassuring. I've ordered plenty of stuff from Chamonix over the years, from cameras to replacement screws and other small parts, and it's all been delivered pretty quickly in my...

I purchased a red universal bellows for my 45H-1 last month. It supposedly shipped on the 23rd, and then the last update I have on the tracking is that it reached an EMS hub in Hangzhou, China on...

A photo backpack or something like the Shimoda with a padded ICU are exactly what I'm looking to get away from using. The F-Stop Ajna with the large ICU was decent, but like I said the design of the...

That is one thing I miss about the F-Stop pack I was using before my current bag. It's both top and panel loading but the panel that opens is on the back behind the straps, so if I did need to lay it...

I switched to a Manfrotto 410 many years ago and never looked back. The heaviest load I've put on it is various Chamonix 4x5 models with a Nikkor 90mm f/4.5, but I'm sure it'd handle your Linhof just...

I've recently given up on using dedicated camera bags/backpacks with padded compartments and instead have just been using normal hiking day packs with everything packed loosely but securely in the...

I agree that you should figure out what issues you're having with the Schneider lens before replacing it. If it's just that the image on the ground glass is too dark for you to easily focus, then the...

Earlier today I had made a new post in the For Sale/Trade forum but it seems it was deleted. No explanation or notification was provided. My only guess as to why is that it was misinterpreted as a...

I forgot to prefix my latest post with 'FS'. Is there any way I can update the title myself or must a mod step in?

Good points everyone, thanks for the replies. The reason I ask is because after attempting a few shots of some hallways in an abandoned hospital I've been photographing lately I find my resulting...

This seems like something that's probably just down to preference and there's no actual right or wrong way, but if you were photographing down a long hallway and wanted to get both the near and far...

Thanks, I was wondering what its exact purpose was. When I first spotted it I thought it was some kind of sewing machine but looking it over I realized that wasn't likely. I couldn't find any maker's...

It's definitely as long as it looks. Just over 1/4 mile if I remember correctly.

Sometimes it's a road, but it's in a very low area that's already pretty much wetlands to begin with so after a few days of heavy rains it looks like this for a while. The whole area is a former Gulf...

Here's a couple more

Thanks. If you do, be sure to take a walk behind the building as well, some interesting stuff back there too.

I know this has been covered before so forgive me for bringing it up again. I have the chart that shows how much time to extend development if you want to use the kit past the rated 8 rolls / 32...

Not quite the edge as I was actually standing in the water. I'd like to thank my LL Bean boots for making this shot possible.

In my opinion it's just one more thing you need to carry with you and negates one of the biggest positives of the Chamonix cameras (at least for me): that they are extremely lightweight and compact....

I had the reflex magnifier with my F1. I used it maybe twice. Took up too much space in the bag and didn't provide enough magnification for critical focus. This one looks like it takes up much less...

I would strongly suggest getting a dedicated film scanner capable of scanning 4x5 before you try to make any comparisons to your D5500. You can find used V700s and V750s for reasonable prices these...

Sorry if this has been discussed before but in the few threads about processing C-41 in the SP-445 that I skimmed I didn't see any mention of my particular issue. I have the 1L Unicolor C-41 kit, and...

I was considering buying one of those myself so I'd also be interested in any reviews or comments about it

Both my Sinar F1 and Horseman VH came with their respective reflex viewers when I bought them as kits and I probably used them once or twice before putting them aside for a while and ultimately...

Here's one from Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day back in 2012, shot on a Zero Image 4x5 pinhole camera. I don't remember the exposure but it was at least 60 seconds.
