  1. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    Great work, reminds me a lot of Todd Hido, Nadav Kander and similar artists. You could benefit from sorting your images in distinct series and then shooting more images that fill up these projects....
  2. Re: Fujinon 90mm/f5.6 SWD rear element doesn't fit on a Wista 45SP - alternatives?

    I've been doing this on my Speed Graphic with the same lens, but I grew tired of the whole operation, especially when I tend to change lenses often. (not into hiking, mostly portraits and urban...
  3. Re: Fujinon 90mm/f5.6 SWD rear element doesn't fit on a Wista 45SP - alternatives?

    Hello Kumar,

    Thanks for the clarifying info. After close inspection, my 45SP (it has the micro-swing knobs and front swing) indeed has the "extra lip" inner plate. Now, I can either change it with...
  4. Re: Fujinon 90mm/f5.6 SWD rear element doesn't fit on a Wista 45SP - alternatives?

    That is great news, I'm on course for that 115mm Grandagon-N.



    I indeed can, but it is a pain to do so. I've been doing it for my Speed Graphic with the same lens, and I never really enjoyed...
  5. Fujinon 90mm/f5.6 SWD rear element doesn't fit on a Wista 45SP - alternatives?

    So I got the Fujinon SWD 90mm/f5.6 a long time ago, and I mostly used it on a Toyo View monorail camera, which has a huge lens board.

    A couple of weeks ago I bought a Wista 45SP, and I discovered...
  6. Re: Toyo 45GX as a field camera (and a future path to 8x10)?

    I took the Toyo 45D outdoors, and I have to say it worked like a charm. Yes, I was lugging around a bulky camera, but it wasn't much of a weight and it was easier to handle during shooting than the...

  8. Re: Toyo 45GX as a field camera (and a future path to 8x10)?

    I'm still not sure about 8x10. I've only given it a thought as a "x-ray film & portraits" style, but it's still difficult to find both a working 8x10 camera and x-ray film in the European Union... I...
  9. Toyo 45GX as a field camera (and a future path to 8x10)?

    What's your take on the Toyo 45GX as a field camera, when no hiking/long distance walking is involved?

    Moreover, I am thinking that it could be an upgrade path to 8x10, by swapping out the rear...
