Congratulations Kirk.....that's a beautiful image. If/when you do find out how to order/purchase the poster, please let us know. I would like to buy one too.

It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything. Going thru some of my older 4x5 images recently (1980s) and thinking about getting the camera out again this summer. I used to shoot a lot of...

If he is true to his principles, Steve (Sirius Glass) never prints, he only looks at negatives and transparencies.....otherwise, some "information is lost".

Come to think of it.....I doubt that...

Great idea Jim. Sorry I missed out on this one.....I need to check in here more frequently.

I'd like to be on a "waiting list", if anyone needs to drop out for some reason.

My set of group 2 prints arrived on Friday. Some very beautiful prints here and interesting images. Nice to see a mix of traditional silver and inkjet prints. Thanks to all and especially to Darr!...

Hi Darr,

I've finished my prints and will get them mailed on Monday or Tuesday.

I'm sending you 10 prints....the 10th print is for you to keep. I really appreciate all the time and effort you...

Thanks for the clarification Darr. I will make 11x14 prints of what I think is the best 4x5 B&W image I've ever made (from the mid-80s). Unfortunately, image making wise, it's been all downhill...

Thank you Darr for coordinating these print exchanges. This is my first large format print exchange here (although I've been participating and/or organizing print exchanges since April 2002).

Please count me in....thank you!

Looks great! I have two of these cameras....might have to convert one to wide-angle use. Ditto to Jay's question re how you attached the rail to the mounting block.

I tried a small amount of the Abu Garcia Reel Lube (silicone grease) with a small artist's brush on the front standard focus parts (white plastic rails etc). The focus had been stiff, but smooth. ...

I wonder if something like the Abu Garcia Reel Lube (silicone grease with PTFE) would be safe to use. It's used to lubricate the gears of fishing reels, many of which include white plastic gear...

Hi folks,

I just purchased and received the Sinar P (4x5) which Robert Fisher sold here in May to another forum member. The camera is indeed in beautiful condition, just as Robert and Don said. ...

Minneapolis, Minnesota skyline circa mid-1980s. Cambo view camera with Sironar 150mm lens.

Hi folks. Thanks for the info and feedback. Sounds like an excellent lens for landscape etc, which would be my primary use. I checked the specs on my camera (Ebony 45SU) and it has 365mm of...

I'm looking for something a little longer than my 210mm Nikkor-W. Any thoughts on the quality of this 300mm lens for use on a 4x5 field camera? Alternatives? Seems like I can get a used one in EX+...

Here's another from Minneapolis in the 1980s. Same Cambo/Rodenstock setup.

Architecture is what first piqued my interest in large format photography. Here's one of my first LF images, taken in the early 1980s with a Cambo monorail view camera, Rodenstock Sironar 150mm...

One more from Alaska. At the outlet of Ship Creek, Anchorage, Alaska. Toyo 45AR, Rodenstock Sironar 150mm. Taken about 15 years ago.
