This is a great camera and yes it is heavy at about 13lbs with a lens and film holder. Hand held photographs are not out of the question since the weight helps to stabilize things. I use mine with a...

Michael you have done an exceptional job on this build. You have done a great job on the woodworking and finishing and the pictures and documentation will be valued by anyone that is doing a similar...

I have the same problem with little jars and plastic bags full of maybe redundant parts for something but that might come in useful some time.

If you have the space and you use more than one type of large paper you could look for a Stacking 4 or 5 Drawer Map Plan Flat File Cabinet. They are close to the dimensions of your paper and seem to...

I have an 8x10 Soligor paper safe that dispenses a sheet of paper when you pull down the door tab. Mine works fine but i had to make a couple of adjustments when I got it because it was missing two...

A piece of black electrical tape over the green LED on the GFI plug has worked for me for years. Keep it simple.

Happy to hear that you are well and active again.

Mamiya refers to them as slide locks

Flic Film is distributing chemicals as well as film. From what i have heard they have been shipping up to 4,000 respooled 35mm film world wide daily. If you go to their web site they have a tab for...

Welcome back to the forum. You can't go wrong with your choice of the Master Technika. Enjoy

Beautiful camera. Nice work on the wood and metal parts. I am sure you will enjoy it.

This link may help you. Towards the end of the document is a schematic of how to assemble/disassemble the Grafmatic.

This isn't just in a change bag but also the darkroom. I was loading a 36 exposure roll of film onto the reel when my fitbit lit up to tell me I had met my number of steps for the day. Since then...

I have the same camera but it has been reconfigured to shoot 5x7 film with a split film back to get 2 frames on each 5x7 film. The film back was custom made from plywood and I wood like to replace...

Thanks Oren. An interesting read. It brings back a lot of memories of his efforts.

For my Durst L138S I also have the Nega 138 carrier with a plain glass bottom and the upper glass is anti-newton AN. For 4x5 negatives I have a LAPFE 45 but seldom use it instead having a 4x5 mask...

Michael Great job. Stunning print. The format definitely suits the scene

Add your serial number to this thread and you should get the year the camera was manufactured. I have the Supertechnika V and really get a lot of enjoyment from it. I love the 5x7 format.

Welcome aboard Jose.

Check this link out. Instructions are there. Watch out for the sharp metal edges when you are opening the pack.

This should help you. Just be careful if you "rob" the pack to test a sheet of film because the edges of the metal encasement for the film is very sharp and not visible in the dark. I learned that...

That is a great restoration job that you did on the milling machine.

You have a done a great job the camera. Well thought out and a nice camera to look at for its size. I was particularly interested in your method of making the ground glass. I have been enjoying the...

Banff and Canmore are fine. There are no fires in the vicinity. The only problem is the smoke from the fires in the interior of BC is hanging in the mountain valleys depending on the wind direction....

If you haven't heard the Jasper National Park has been a victim of a large forest fire outside of the town site that impacted the delivery pf electrical power to the town. They are in the...

The tourist crowd in Banff National Park thins out in September but it can still be busy on the weekends as hikers head out to the mountains to see the larch trees turn from green to a golden yellow....

I was wondering the same thing as this thread has me looking to see if there is a method for being able to quickly remove a tick. A local store has a device like this that is suppose to be able to...

A few years back i was setting up to do some table tops and when i turned around I found our new kitten getting ready to pose228033

If the Plaubel is from the Peco Profia series there are two or three short rails available to solve the issue of having the rail show up in your picture.

I use the same faucet in my wash up sink. First model lasted 30 years and had to finally replace it with the same model in November. Not as pretty looking as yours since the copper has lost it sheen...

Thanks for all the comments. I tried HC110 a couple of years ago and wasn't happy with the results plus the fact there was no source of a replenisher. I have some old D76 and D76R but it eneded up...

I am hoping someone can give me an idea of what developers are good for developing 4x5 sheet film in a Nitrogen Gas Burst set up.
Any suggestions would be a great help.

Sometimes it is pretty depressing to see how many prints it took to get it right.

After seeing this thread I felt really guilty so i have decided to shoot as much film as I can this year. It is going to be a challenge because of the boxes of 4x5 and 5x7 I have as well as about 15...

Somewhere I came across the Roding lens boards and I needed one of them with a 58mm hole to mount my Rodagon 210mm lens to the Tripla. There is a Roding 3917 which I think would be a 39mm thread but...

I wasn't sure about it either when I saw the reference but I had to Google it to make sure and it is for the M605, M670 and M70 enlargers.

Try this link, about half way down there is a description of the common lens boards available for the Durst 138s Tripla lensboard

This set up allows me to use a meter of bellows on my Plaubel Peco Profia 5x7. The tripod that supports the rig is a Gitzo 5G. Plaubel made an auxiliary standard to allow you to connect and support...
