I use it on 4x5 and can get about 40mm of front rise. That should help to answer the question you asked.

I had a focussing problem with a 300mm lens with symptoms similar to yours until I realized I had forgotten to remove the anti-rotation screw on the lens, preventing it from resting flat against...
Some subject matter can look quite gross in big prints, especially head shots of people. Doug, you apparently haven't seen Tracy Storer's 20x24 Polaroid head shots. They are truly spectacular.
I was planning a darkroom in my new house (on a septic system) until I read this. Are there any other solutions?

I've got one of the Calumet Polaroid manual processors. It works very well and is very reliable. On the other hand it is quite bulky and might not be suitable for backpacking. Also, it is not ...
6x9 no, but 6x7 yes. The Goetschmann 8585AV Slide Projector handles 6x7 slides in 85x85mm mounts and has audio-visual capabilities. Very expensive German technology.

I just ran across a more recent Dykinga book, "Large Format Nature Photography." Less than 6 months after publication, it was already remaindered at a local bookstore. But think about it: How...
The Nightline piece was superb. You can order a video of it here: http://www.abcnewsstore.com/product-details.cgi?_item_code= N020307+01 .
Of course there are reasons it is a lost art ....
Manual metering is awkward while handholding an LF camera. Film holders and darkslides are awkward while handholding an LF camera. Depth of...
There was a piece on ABC tonight on Joel Meyerowitz' photographic study of the World Trade Center, begun long before 9/11/01. Since then he has had daily access to ground zero, and it seems the...
What's important is the ratio between consecutive focal lengths. So if you find that your 110 and 180 are in about the right relationship to each other (not too far apart), you'll want a lens of ...
I have a 16x20 and can confirm that the Fujinon 600 C covers the format with plenty of room to spare.
I just cannot comprehend the level of obsessive behaviour which forces you to go and buy a seperate 10 inch cable release for each lens, pre-attached for speed. Many people do this, including such...

Walter, that was a very interesting post. However, I spent the better part of two days photographing the Sydney Opera House (the world's most beautiful building IMHO) with a 4x5 monorail and was...
Andrew, try http://vanbar.com.au/. They are Toyo dealers and should have a pretty good selection of LF gear. And as I recall, their prices on Toyo cameras are much better than US prices. ...
The 4x5 image area is 3.75x4.75 (ANSI standard), or 17.8125 square inches, not 20 square inches. Multiply by 25.4^2 to get 11,491.9125 square millimeters. 35mm is, as mentioned above, 24x36 = 864...
Which of these three books would you get to cover technique, equipment and good pics with a how I took the image explanation, if you could only get one of them?

Zorkendorfer makes adaptors to use MF lenses on 35mm, but I don't know of any such adaptors to use LF lenses on MF. But let's suppose you can find one. With your Mamiya 645 bellows you could...
I have a brochure and a price list, both dated 8/96, and neither one mentions the CM-W series, just the old W series. This puts the intro date between 8/96 and 3/97.
I never felt mine was inaccurate, but it no longer meters flash. Thanks for reminding me---I've been meaning to send it in for repair.
If 8x10 is in your future, get the Fuji for its greater coverage. It is readily available at Badger Graphic, and my sense is that their prices are very competitive---much better than The F Stops...
My outfit consists of a 16x20 camera (33 lbs.), 3 filmholders (18 lbs.), a heavy-duty tripod (21 lbs.), and miscellaneous items (lens, darkcloth, etc.). Needless to say, I won't be backpacking. ...
Arnold Newman's Stravinsky (1946). Unexpected, creative composition.
The Toyo VX125 has all features mentioned except it has geared shift instead of geared tilt. Technically, it is a monorail, but it has the compactness and light weight of a field camera when...
Japanese prices should hold steady. See a recent article on the Japanese economy by George Will here.
So the question is whether importers will pass on the savings from the strong dollar to...
Dan, I largely agree with you, but with one exception. Your attempt to compare Fatali's actions with jaywalking or speeding tends to trivialize the issue. Fortunately the NPS didn't overreact, but...
Paul, this is from a Toyo English-language catalog: "Toyo 39mm diameter ROBOS and G System Monorails fit all Toyo monorail cameras including the 45C. Robos rails offer unlimited extension by ...
Now to the A100-2 Ries ? I've never seen one, but I've seen them mentioned on this forum before. Are they really that good? I would be using it in the field and in the studio (until I can afford a...
Now my question is, what type of film do you shoot in a camera that big? Any color film made that size?
Yes, Kodak Portra 400 (color neg) is available in 20 x 24. The only drawback: It's $67...
Kodak and Bergger films are available too. The list below is from Wisner.com

ROBOS stands for Radically Oriented Bi-Axial Operating System. This is an impressive camera, which looks something like a Sinar P2. Consulting an old Shutterbug (1/96), it sold for $4295 in the...
A new 45AII at Robert White is $1450, approximately. So $1100 for a used outdated model, even if mint, seems high. .
The 2 series Gitzos work fine for 4x5, in that they can easily support the weight, but you have to be VERY careful not to move the camera when inserting holders. If weight is that big an issue, go...
The Fujinon C 600 is worthy of consideration and less expensive than some of the telephoto lenses ($1595 at Badger Graphic). And it covers up to 16x20, and Fred Newman claims even 20x24, in case...
It has not been officially announced yet, as far as I know, but participants in last year's workshop received a letter stating that next year's would be held June 24--30, 2001.
Why not use a much shorter lens, say 90mm? If its coverage is 230mm at infinity focus (i.e., bellows extension = 90mm), then its coverage will be 2.3 meters when bellows extension is 0.9 meters,...
I was looking at Robert White's web site (http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/), which has some excellent prices on Toyo gear (example: VX125 is less than $2400), and found the following statement:

Lois Conner uses a Canham 7x17, I believe, and has backpacked it all over China. A book of her China photographs is about to be published. I'm sure she would be able to answer your question. ...
