Thank you for the information

The 240mm Componon-S is good for a 180 x 240 mm negative. I hope it is also good for a 8x10" negative, that is 203 x 254 mm.

Paul : In the lens I'll get, the two elements are apart, so it will be possible to test them on my 8x10 Bender.
David : the 11x14 will be a box camera, without bellows, build for portrait distance...

Thank you all for your answers and pictures. The camera is not yet build and the Aero Ektar is in the mail. I only have the 11x14 film holder, so it will take a while before I post a picture. I made...

I'm not sure of the exact size of the image circle of the 24" f/6 Aero Ektar. One source on the web gives 576 mm and a 50 degree angle. Can somebody confirm this ? I would like to use such a lens to...

Thank you for the book reference Jon.
Steven, I'll make a 1:1 photo of a doll's head with a 4x5 camera and a normal lens to see how bad it looks. Thank you for the warning !

I want to build a 11x14 camera that will have a 1:1 magnification (the image will have the exact size of the object). I will use a 11x14 film holder and a 18 inches Wray Lustrar lens. This means that...

By the way, I got a No 36 Kodak Anastigmat f/4,5 12"...

I use HC110, dilution B, with Arista Edu 100iso 4x5 and Shanghai 100iso 4x5 and 8x10.

I processed 4x5 film in an 8x10 cibachrome drum. First I put the 4x5 sheet in a tray full of water. Then I put the sheet in the tank. I used 80mL of HC110, dilution B.
I tried to process 2 or 4...

Cedric,
en attendant d'avoir accès aux petites annonces du forum, tu peux déjà jeter un coup d'oeil sur :...

I use a Cibachrome drum to process my 8x10 negatives. Usually a do two or three prewashs with 100mL of water, to clean the back of the film. I develop with 80 to 100mL of chemistry.

Does somebody know if there is a photo club with an 8x10 enlarger in Montreal ? I would like to enlarge some of my 8x10 black and white negatives.

I use a Cibachrome 8x10 drum to process 8x10 film. 100mL is enough to process.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll try to make an 8x10 enlargement from the 6x7 negative and compare it with the 8x10 contact print. But first, I'll make a new negative with a Toyo view camera,...

I have some 8x10 negatives and I would like to enlarge them. I have no 8x10 enlarger, so I did contact prints.
I took pictures of this contact prints with a Pentax 6x7 (150mm lens and extension...

I tested a 360mm barrel lens on my 8x10 Bender.

Hi,
I noticed a DAYI 4x5 camera on ebay. This camera uses a Toyo 4x5 back, it can use 65 to 90mm lenses, the lens is mounted on a helicoidal tube.
Did somebody use this camera ?

My very first 4x5 shot was wide open !
I got an old 4x5 Toyo 45M view camera on ebay. I bought a Bell & Howell slide projector in a garage sale next door, to use it's Tridar 5" f/3.5 lens. I...

I'm a real beginner in 4x5.
I wanted to test my new macro lens, a Rodenstock Ysaron 75mm, with a landscape shot, to see the size of the image circle.
Shoot at f/16.

Hi,

I started LF photo two months ago with a Toyo 45M view camera. One month later I got a Crown Graphic.
It's really a lot of fun !
