From what I have read, the latest 120 was optimized for 1:1 - 5:1, though I generally used it at 1:1. I agree that it would be hard to tell images from either lens apart. From this series I had a 4x6...

I did some medical some micro surgical instrument photos for a text book. The lens I used was a 120mm Macro-Nikkor AM-ED, just a phenomenal lens. Covers 4x5 at 1:1 mag. I beleive it was a newer...

I have a Linhof Technika IV and it came with a Schneider 90 f8 Super Angulon, Linhoff branded, with a 00 shutter in a recessed board. The lens is quite good, but has a lot of vignetting and you have...
If I want a more solid tripod, I have a Davis and Sanford A series, which is where the Gitzo Rationale 5 head goes, good for a studio but not good for carrying around. The Gitzo Explorer is good with...
Learning how to use the Nikor bird cage can be frustrating. I had the same problem when I first had the tank. It is the emulsion touching the divider strips. If you load the cage with the base up you...

I maybe OK for now, I tightened the tensioning screw on the Gitzo R3 head and it seems much better. I also found the Gitzo off center ball head I have had for years also works. If I need rock solid I...
I do prefer 3 way tilt heads for a 4x5, I may try out the R4, but it weighs as much as the tripod and puts a lot of weight on the tripod. I used the R4 for a short time with a B&J Grover 8x10,mostly...
I just picked up a Gitzo Explorer G2257, it came with a Rationalle 3 head. The tripod seems solid enough for my Linhof Technika IV, but the head is a little light. I have a Rationalle IV head, but...
When I had an 8x10 years ago my favorite lens was a 10 inch Commercial Ektar, very close to 240.

Just checked my late 1980s vintage Nikon 120mm Macro AM-ED on my Linhof IV, I have done some macro with this set but haven't tried the lens at infinity. Just did, lots of vignetting at f5.6 and...

Pushed the swings and tilt too much, to pul all the image into focus. I still like the image, the river out from Toughahannock Falls.

I like my 90 f8 SA but it vignettes. Still a nice lens. Some corner editing on this image.

I am using an old LowePro video bag from the 1990s, My Linhof Technika IV fits nicely in the compartment for the recorder, plenty of extra room. Comfortable to carry. I also just bought a Zone VI...
In my early years of large format photography, I never presoaked film and I would occasionally get air bells, what ever you call clear spots on the film. I started prewashing at the suggestion from a...

I have a Linhof IV loned it to a friend and he lost a cam, bought me a used one, bit it is not as good. The Horseman 985 had a great cammed range finder, covered 3 lenses and you could set it for the...
I was looking for a #1 shutter for a 240 G-Claron, I had several Prontor and Copal Press shutters for an MP3 purchase a while a go. I didn't like them, you either had to have 2 cable releases or set...
I have a Technika IV and I am just getting back to using it after several years off. I bought it with a 150 Apo Lanthar and a 90 f8 Super Angulon in the late 1980s. It is a little funky to use with...

I was looking for a shutter for a 240 G Claron, I found one at Roberts Camera with a 210 f5.6 Sironar on it that has definite lens separation in the front element, maybe some in the rear element. Is...
Did the math and the measurements, not hard to do.
Sounds like a decent idea, I was hoping I could just use a Prontor f4.7 scale as a model. But the Copal has a an equal distance between fstops the Prontor doesn't. Just looking it seems possible. I...
I found a damaged lens in a Copal #1. Now how do I find fstop/shutter speed scales for the Copal shutter. Should I contact camera repair places or is there a way to contact Copal directly? I have...
I got a whole batch of Polaroid MP3 lenses when I bought an MP3 stand form a hospital lab. They had made a standard camera adapter for the stand, but replaced it all with a new MP4 (new in the mid...
I came across a 240 G Claron when a photolab was closing down. I have tried to mount it in a Polaroid Prontor #1 but there seems to be a ridge behind the aperture blades that is preventing the rear...
I have been using a Nikor cage tank for years, can take up to 12 sheets in 1200cc of liquid. Thich is pushing most developers capacity, so I generally use 8 sheets. I have a thin pipe that keeps the...
I looked at one in pieces last summer, it had the front and rear standard but the bellow was separated, probably a new bellows but the wrong size. It had a 4x5 and 8x10 looked like B&J backs. I past...
I have been considering getting back into 4x5, haven't used my Linhof IV in 10 years. Bought a lens to get me going but also put my 120 Nikon Macro AmED on a Linhof board.
