The SB-800 is pretty good for a digital-age shoe mount flash. It’s a little less, maybe a half stop, than a Vivitar 285. The Metz 45CT-5 is maybe a half stop to one stop more powerful than a Vivitar...
I had the handle from a graflite and bolted a cold shoe onto an aluminum cap. This gives me a removeable shoe to mount any electronic flash or a fanfold bulb flash. For extra power I attach a Metz...
@wrenched, thanks. Those are quail eggs.

Thanks Alan for providing the comparison. As a flatbed user, I always wonder what a drum scan would do for me. In my case, I usually print my 4x5 stuff as 16x20 on inkjet, and scan resolution of...

Oh yes; the flash is the most fun. The burnt lacquer smell and slight sizzle sound when the bulbs fire is rather addictive.

A lower cost scanning option is a used medium format flatbed such as the Epson V500 (under $100 these days). You can do two passes with the large format negative moved so each half is scanned. The...

I've scanned a fair bit of 4x5 on an Epson V750 at optimal height at 2400ppi, but I don't have any examples posted online at full resolution to show you. I like HP5 at box speed or FP4 at box speed...

Tony there's yet another factor that I think may have been lost in the discussion. In your post #69 the photo of the table and chairs established the GN of your flash is indeed fairly consistent with...
Tony, I think Phil probably meant he used three 500Ws flash heads, not 500W, as he was writing about flash, not continuous lights. So take the 1/60s shutter speed out of the calculation. That gives a...

Thanks. No, I had the camera on its side, using the side tripod socket. In that position, and with the lens board back within the box, there is only room for about 4mm of shift, equivalent to rise in...

Thanks for the interest in the article and your information about scanning contact prints.
When you were experimenting with height by stacking coins, were you scanning the coins themselves...
Here's an article I've written for Graflex Journal on black and white portraiture with a Crown Graphic with details on scanning with a flatbed. Perhaps it's of some use to readers of this forum.
