    Re: Ouch! This hurts!

    I understand the shock if you haven't looks at film prices for a few years... (but maybe you should have been looking and restocking :-) ).

  8. Re: bellows extension factor - getting the hang of it - any suggestions : )!!! ??

    But here's the real question... if I use a 200 mm lens focused at a bellows extension of 140mm, do I gain 1 stop? ;-) (ignore that whatever I photograph won't be in focus)

    The Stearman SP-8x10 works beautifully and it’s hard to make mistakes with. Also you can use it for 4x5, 5x7, 4x10.

  22. Re: Chamonix 4x5 film holder. How to tell if Film exposed?

    I don’t see how. The tape is on the handle part of the dark slide where you grab it to pull it out. It’s not on the body of the holder where it could be pushing the holder away from the camera’s back.

    At least the last time I checked, it can only accommodate 4mm thick glass, no? It’s an elegant solution but there’s no way I’m rebuying all the glass I’ve invested in.
