I've used Blurb and SAAL Digital and like SAAL better. Excellent results if you do your part.

Thanks Doremus, you are right on all counts. Will not change a thing.
Checked out your website, very nice. What types of B&W film do you use.

Thanks

Hugh

I have a Chamonix 45F2 that I really like. However I was wondering if there is a source for a brighter focusing screen that would fit the camera with out any modifications.
I had a Wista DX back in...

Going to be using it for landscapes especially for mountains scenes.
Lots of mountains where I live.

It has 350mm bellows draw so no worries.

Thanks guys for the feedback!

Thinking about purchasing the Nikon 300 F9 M for my 4x5. Was wondering how it is to focus at f9 and will I have to compensate for bellows draw when calculating exposure.

Thanks for the info guys I will look into your suggestions.

Need recommendation for a lab that develops E6 4x5 film on the west coast. I live in Washington State so looking for a lab that is on this side of the country.
Thanks

Hey Ben. Some people don’t realize all the hard work and planning that goes into making your videos. Not only do you have to shoot video but also have to deal with audio and editing as well. I...

I know, I saw that one as well. But……

So I was looking around for a light meter on EBay and Sekonic 508 seems reasonably priced from $350 to $450. But then I came across one from KEH that was they say was not functional at $407. WTF.
So...

Sorry, 4x5

If you had to pick just one lens for your landscape photography, what would it be.
Or what is your favorite and most used lens for landscape and why.

Ok, thanks for your info. Probably just skip this one, filter size is pretty big as well 77mm.

Would appreciate any thoughts on this lens. Looking at the image circle it has kind of peaked my interest.
Wondering if it would require a center filter.
Thanks

Would it have a centered or off center hole. Doe it make a difference in use.

My personal experience with FedX domestically has been horrendous. But if that’s what they use in Japan I guess we just have to deal with it if you really want the lens.

Great advice. Thanks

If I were to buy a lens off EBay and the seller is in another country, how does that work with customs and what are the fees taxes etc.
Thanks

Thanks for all input, it’s been very helpful. Looking forward being here a month so I can participate in the classifieds.

I’m on the waiting list for a Chamonix 4x5 and was wondering if anyone could make recommendations on where to buy lenses. I’ve looked at Catlabs, Kamerastore, EBay and KEH.
Thanks

Probably get one of Chamonix wooded lens boards if any are available when the time comes and the rest plastic. What would be really cool is if they would include a wood film holder with every camera....

Thanks for all the feedback I really appreciate it. Spending money for a new beautiful camera, it doesn’t seen right using a second hand film holder. Will be buying new. Really looking forward to...

Getting back into 4x5 photography and would like to know whether I should buy new or used, brand and source.
On the waiting list for a Chamonix 45F2 and can’t wait to get started again.

Is a center filter a must for 90mm lens on a 4x5 Field camera.
