I have acquired a dark bag/box of a rather large size. It is collapsible and folds into a handy briefcase and has a name plate stating "Copal Dark Box Model CDB-2200" made in Japan.

I wish I lived in the Himalayas myself and could head out to these places whenever I wanted, they are a 23 Hour drive from where I live.
The first one is from the trek down to the glacier, it was...

First time I backpacked with a 4x5, and realized how unfit I am.
This is Hopar Glacier, the second fastest moving glacier, moving 4-5 inches per day.

Thank you both exactly what I was looking for
Thank you for that! Have had a go with parodinal but have not tried caffenol. I am tempted as I was not able to find pyrogallol or catechol locally and have read the stain being beneficial for making...

Drew don't think it is, and you are right it most definitely is a mismatch
I went for the shutter but got lucky with the lens
To clarify the images I posted of the lens earlier showed threads and even to me they seemed to be of the rear cell but the rear cell sits perfectly and those threads are for the retaining ring which...
To update here:
I bit the bullet and GAS got the better of me, despite most people's caution.However, because of everyone's advice here, I was able to haggle the price down to roughly 70 usd from...
Kevin I agree unmolested ones are easily available, their affordability for me is another matter. Pay scales in Pakistan aren't all that great so parting with 200- 300 usd equates to quite a bit of...
Thank you Drew, that's what I thought. I will get to check it out in person on Sunday and will probably make an offer just for the shutter
Someone is offering this lens to me for 150 Usd.
However from the images provided it seems like a dubious rear cell.
I thought I would check here with people with far more experience and knowledge...
Not sure if this entirely fits here

Sadly no, a marginally existing small or medium format film community (I know of only one person aside myself using large format), living off expired scraps from an era gone by or importing material...
Awesome and thanks for sharing this! If you ever come to Pakistan again, I'd be more than happy to host you
Thank you Philip!
I will get another shot with the sitter, but I am limited to 4 exposures as I only have two film holders. The blank space on the left is rather distracting, I am contact printing...
My sheepish attempt at one of my first portraits on LF

Would really appreciate critique and feedback!

I have a whole plate camera, one closer to that of the OP than the one Tin Can posted. It was made locally in Pakistan and uses the book form holders of which I have two. I took a shot in the dark...
Thank you!
Been lurking the forums and learning for the past year. I have had an interest in LF for the past 6 years, particularly wet plate. Finally found an old locally made Thornton Pickard style Whole Plate...
