I'm starting to think UV or IR light coming from some source. FP4+ doesn't extend quite as far into the UV as HP5+, and it's slower speed.

The ones shown on eBay don't appear to be 3D printed, rather some form of injection molding. There's no distinct line patterns visible anywhere.
Do yours look like the eBay images, or are they...
From the site:
Doremus has the best explanation so far.
Personally, I view the optical system as two cones, meeting at a point in the middle of the lens/shutter unit, and extending out in both directions from...
Am I the only one who has a pet peeve about the bare threaded rod sticking out the front? I don't mind that it's unconstrained (common in 3D printer Z-axis assemblies), but they could have cut it an...
OK-- I have two holders, labeled "1" and "2", and each side is labeled "A" and "B". I take four photographs, in holders labeled 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B. I place those two holders in a dark bag, I remove...
Are the bellows firmly attached at each end? I could see something like this maybe happening if a gap opened between the bellows frame and the camera body while the film was in, with the dark slide...
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but the Chamonix 5x7 is right at the top end of your budget. They're very nice-- lightweight, well built, and Hugo does a nice job supporting them.
This is *not* a good time to be building a PC.
Component prices have jumped in the past 12 months, stocks are low, and video cards are going for ridiculous prices.

The bail is fixed to the part of the back that you take off and rotate-- so if you had it set to load from the bottom, the bail should have been operating from the bottom as well. Having no actual...
I would think between the refraction index of the film base and the extra distance to the second sheet of film, you'd get a very poorly focused image.
Easier to lock down the tripod and take two...
I have two inexpensive ("cheap") cable releases (one went into 'backordered' status the instant I clicked "buy"), neither of which is particularly fancy. Both have the "twist" lock around the base...
@Havoc, I'm not sure what's going on, but as a novice at film, who started with LF, went to MF because I wanted more practice at a cheaper per-frame cost, and then picked up a 35mm because all the...
Buy two.
I've switched to a browser called 'brave', which is based on Google Chrome, but minus all the Google bits. It also places an emphasis on privacy, so I haven't had that happen to me in awhile. You...
All of my shutters (with one exception awaiting a CLA) are within 1/3 of a stop. So I just don't care. :)
Just wait for the bubble to burst.
I use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/TOPTOO-Adapter-Compatible-Olympus-Cameras/dp/B088FV7KJL
Mine's by UURig, who may have discontinued it, but it's nice to use to flip the filter...
I can assure you, you didn't screw up as much as I did my first try with Rollei. The most embarrassing was that I've got a "flip" bracket so I can swing the IR filter out of the way, focus/compose,...
Personal experience with a Chamonix 45N-1 (classic), which has an identical screen to your 45N-2. Today, I could focus and compose with a 105mm f/5.6 in bright daylight using a loupe and the...
Hoya R72 seems to be about 6 stops from my testing.
Now, that I fully understand. What little printer maintenance I've had to do over the years has been mostly laser, but I fully understand the trauma of inkjet-- in fact, I run a color laserjet at...
Eep! That's a bonkers VAT. At that point, the Chamonix 45N-1 makes a bit more sense. :)
You're right on the Stenopeika-- I was confusing it with the low end Gibellini, which has had some QC...
There's nothing wrong with the Intrepid-- but it does have some niggles that will make it more difficult for a novice LF photographer. There are no detents or markings for getting the film plane and...
As far as I know, your only real option if you want to avoid inkjet / dye printing, is to project the digital image via some form of display, and take a photograph of that image.
But I don't see...
My guess would be it came with the "spring back", and someone found a used graflok back and swapped them out.
If this is for studio work, wouldn't a parallax-corrected viewfinder do as good a job? Or do you mean to correct critical focus right up until the shutter trips?
Ask Nick Carver.

That's totally unbalanced. In every sense of the word. :)
Steve Lloyd of Chroma Cameras was working on an LCD-based LF shutter. Last I heard, the prototype was working, although I think it took 1 stop off the exposure.
I recently had a 107 year old...
What part of "I [...] think it's a bad idea" wasn't clear? ;)
No, I'm afraid that won't work. The rear of the Tele-Xenar is 86mm, and the opening in the 45N-1's standard is only 84m... :)
...
Sorry, I wasn't clear-- I personally, think it's a bad idea on either camera.
But if I were crazy enough to try it, it would be on the 45N-1. You can extend the standard out to 300mm without...
One question is how well does the software import STL files? I mentioned DesignSpark the other day-- I was able to load an STL file for a technika board, convert back to "solid", remove the hole,...
Actually-- looking at the design of the H-1 and the 45N-1, I'd be happier putting the 300mm f/5.6 on the 45N-1. The base plate just looks a bit more secure, and the slides don't look as...
I've had surprising luck with Affinity by doing auto-color before an invert. For challenging inversions, I fall back to Darktable and the negadoctor plugin.
Playing the Richter scale?
As a Pink Floyd fan, I have to agree. :)
That's odd. My V800 came with a full license for SilverFast SE 8, not a demo. I had the option to upgrade (at a discount) to SilverFast SE Plus 8, which I did. Not entirely sure the upgrade was...
The plastic bags are a valid complaint-- although there are good quality reusable silicone bags, and as a rule I use bags designed for vacuum sealing food (no BPA, among other things). The other...
