  1. Re: Cambo TWR 54 - 4x5 Twin Lens Reflex (like Gowlandflex) Question...

    @Aesthetique: do you by any chance have 2 lens boards left, and/or a cam for 150mm? Or anyone else? I just bought 2 very nice Voigtlander Apo Lanthar 4.5/150's, one of them even in Compur Press.

  3. Re: Cambo TWR 54 - 4x5 Twin Lens Reflex (like Gowlandflex) Question...

    A Rolleiflex TLR has lens --> mirror --> focus screen;
    the TWR has a slightly different order lens --> focus screen --> mirror.
    The result is identical for both; the projected image is not upside...

    Re: Rail lubricant?

    Vaseline will attract dirt, you'd be better of with any silicon based lubricant. Spray it onto a clean rag and rub into the rail.

    Re: Is it possible to pre wash photo paper?

    Dilute your developer a bit more than usual (I used 1+19 instead of my usual 1+9), and rub, rub, rub! Gently of course, and evenly. You may need to develop a bit longer with this method. After a few...
