just my intrepid experience: i bought a 4x5 mkIV used, it was a year old, mint conditions.

well, an intrepid costs 520£+VAT, if you sell it for half the price you'll lose 2-300£. Not great, not terrible.
Latest Deardorffs on ebay went for something like 2000$-2500$: one could put up a...
in my 4x5 (metal bed) i just put a washer between the arca-swiss-compatible-plate and the camera, so that the screw does not interfere with the focus auger, that's a 5cents solution.
Could've they...

Adox themselves stated that a few times. They have a 120 spooling machine, but it's broken. Obviously the manufacturer is no longer in business and they have been trying to repair that machine for...
this shop also has some chemicals (and other stuff): https://www.laboldtech.com/ (from Italy)
i've bought a plexiglass sheet (10€, twice the size needed), cut it to size, bended with the aid of a heat gun and two small wood beams.
It's not as nice as catlab's one because i'm dumb but 40$...
i'd order a wanderer dark cloth, but the funny fabrics are almost all out of stock :(
i've heard of that, and it seems easier and more feasible than shipping master rolls. Just think of the quantity of emulsion (some microns) and its weight vs. base+canister volume and weight in a...
i'm not saying it is an impossible task, everything can be done (almost) easily these days, just that it is a really pricey one in a market with tight margins.
well, if one should only talk...
well, coating in house and shipping all over the world those delicate master rolls in a controlled environment would be feasible only to justify the line "well guys, film production costs waaaaaaaay...
hobbyist market has always kept the industry alive, even in the past decades, except maybe let's say before 1950-ish. For every roll shot by a pro there have always been thousands of rolls shot at...
[i think that:]
kodak is having troubles supplying film because it's using old freezed master rolls or the research production facilities. The big machines that produced film in the old era would...
if someone has got experience to eye-ball a composition at first sight plus the time and money needed to roam around every day finding scenes, well that's good for him.
For all the other people i...
i just took an acrylic 2-3mm sheet (5€ i think, and i've still got more than half of it), cut it to size, bended 2 times with an heat gun and a wood scrap lath as a guide, sanded a little bit and...
yeah, i think it's easy when the trail is like a land rover trail (and a flat one), but i don't think it would work quite smooth on a trail like this:...
yes, i'm also searching the used market, but frankly i don't think i've ever saw an intrepid or a chamonix. Never lose hope, though!!
well, my first post comes after that thinking:

Unfortunately a 2 wheeler or a cart of some sorts isn’t that great in woodlands or in the alps, otherwise I’d have already found lots of monorails, they are quite cheap.
There are not lots of...
That’s 22% VAT and something for custom duties. I don’t know the exact amount, but 30% is in the ballpark.
That’s also the problem with Japanese or American stuff: prices are usually great, but...
yep, that was exactly my problem with it.
But i'm limiting the search to lighter cameras, an all-metal folder will weight twice those (based on some reading here and there).
I think Stenopeika is all made of wood and metal, it's not 3d printed at all (well, maybe some knobs, i don't know).
I looked at chroma, but the carbon adventurer costs about 600£ (700€) + let's say...
Yes, with taxes and whatnot it will cost about 400€, 200€ less than the stenopeika.
I'm talking about the Toyo 45CF, that is the one Tin Can linked: it weighs slightly more than an intrepid, i...
Ok, i'm looking to buy my first 4x5 camera. The budget is quite low (otherwise i'd buy a chamonix, god they're beautiful) and i'm in Europe, the used market here is quite scarce and prices are waaay...
