I dont know if someone already wrote about it in this forum but Adox recently started selling their XT-3 Developer wich is basically a (better ? ) version of Xtol.

The Linhof are Amazing in so many ways, when you want a camera on the lighter side they are nor for you but when you dont care about weight it dosnt get better

The Canham Metal Cameras are great! How do you like the Motorized 6x17 back ?

If someone really wants to get into 5x7 / is serious about shooting the format Chamonix makes great 5x7 holders. Obviously expensive but better than bad holders.

Thats why I wrote "best" and not best. I don't look for a camera to buy myself in this thread, I am just interested in what people choose as their personal "best" 5x7 camera.

I don't want to know...

3.75 punds is lighter or the same weight as a lot of 4x5s that's great! Wich lenses are you using on it?

Would you buy a vertical only camera ?

Its probably hard to get everything we want in one package but almost is often more then good enough!
Why do you prefer non-folding over folding ?

Inspired by a recent Thread: What is the "best" 5x7 Camera in your opinion and why do you prefer the camera over a different one? It would be also great to hear what you don't like about other...

Yes obviously Stabilizing will be hard with the 800mm+ bellows and the lens on the front of the camera. But I don't plan to use it in windy situations so hopefully it will work out. I want to use two...

The Nikkor T 1200mm has a 310mm Image Circle at f22. So its just a few mm less (?) then required for 8x10.
Does anyone here used this lens on 8x10 and can talk about the performance of the lens at...

I would love to own one of these! But really hard to find here in Europe even when buying International.

I mean the problem there is probably that they don't want to make interchangeable bellows right ?

Chamonix makes backs to upsize a 4x5 to 4x10 ? I thought they only make them the other way around.

Thanks!

Does anyone use the Fuji 105mm F8 SW on 5x7 and can tell me if you would suggest a center filter?

2 or 3 month ago they confirmed to me that you can just paint their cameras without any problem!

Hey! Does anyone stitch panoramas in the darkroom? I plan on using a technical camera with a 6x9 back and shifting the back left / right. Does anyone tried this with success/ does it? Any tips?

Also check out https://the-famous-large-small-format-photography-co.myshopify.com they make black and white 4x5 instant film

The famous format makes NEW55 PN 100 and 400. 4x5 Black and White Instant Film for the Polaroid 545 Holder. Polaroid themself make 8x10 Film in color and bw new. So no particular need to shoot...

Hey!
Who is enjoying shooting 8x10 Polaroid or New55 PN100 / 400 and wants to share some pictures ?

I would really enjoy seeing some large format "instant" Photography!

I have good experience with 20x24 CHS II. The price is really good but the quality is also really nice. I pay less per sheet then for Portra 400 8x10. But I would also buy it if it would be more...

but I would be able to reload them myself ?

Recently I saw some Fuji QuickChange holders ( not QuickLoad ). Did I understand right that they are basically a 4x5 holder that holds 8 Sheets like the Grafmatic Holder, just with 2 more sheets ? Or...

Both. There are 5 and 10 degree spot attachments.

Cinestill 800 Sheet Film?

Im basically at a Point where I only use X-tol 1:1 for my Black and White Film developing. (Sometimes I also use Adox Silverman Developer but only for the Silverman Film)

The Films I use are:...

the conversion depends on the size of your negative not just "in large format". So it matters if you use 4x5, 8x10, 11x14 etc. and also the Focal length. A 150mm on 4x5 is roughly equivalent to a...
