What are your thoughts on the h1?
What auction sites would you recommend. Thank you in advance (assuming something other than ebay?)
Update:
This weekend I rented a Linhof Technikardan 45s 4x5. I learned something- My chamonix by comparison is nothing in terms of complexity (I also just realized I have the f2, previously I...
Thank you mmerig. This is good feedback... I agree, the 4x5 can get in the way- especially the Chamonix. I agree on a simpler field camera. What would your suggestions be in regard to that? There are...
This is exactly on point. The hardest advice to hear sometimes is the most accurate and best. I have a certain sense of what I want to say but I suppose I am wondering how different cameras can...
Thank you Jim,
Trying to find a unit that comes all together on ebay, but hard to navigate what is what
Hi Jeff, do you mind posting a link to which you are looking at- is that a specific model I can look into. Thank you!
Wish I could try out the Pentax 67II - as it is a real investment. Same as to some of the other cameras mentioned. I wish there was a resource like that.
Looking on ebay but it gets a bit confusing with so many types
Also I am still curious in the graphics and that camera my friend originally had that I posted about. This is tough stuff.
Hi Songyun,
I think we did meet!! Would love to hear about your non folder! And any other helpful information you may have. Thank you!!
Hi EH,
Thank you for your feedback. This seems like you are on the right track. I believe I have that hugggggge fuji you speak of- medium format with bellows. It is huge and so not useful in the...
Thank you all. Especially John and and Otto. John do you have any specific camera recommendations? Any thoughts Otto? I wish there was a way to try out some of these camera prior to purchase.
Hi all,
Thank you so much for your considered responses. Drew, I will look into into the source book you recommended. My friends horseman was not wood. 168616168617
It looked something along the...
Hello all!
First off, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who frequents these forums. I have not been on in quite some time. I was doing some research and lo and behold an old thread I...
Just wondering if with my chamonix f1 if I can use other lens boards other than the brands own. Ones from the company are 75$ and it would be nice to have an option for buying another brand cheaper...
Can't seem to find any ektars
For example here are many fairly priced lenses, my issue is I don't understand how to pick one, to know what the names imply. Is there anything up there in the 210-240 range under 200 thats a great...
also any suggestions on cheap lenses 90-120mm
Hi again,
So I have my Chamonix f1 4x5 and 150 mm nikkor lens, but would like another lens/es option. I am looking for something within 200-240mm. Open to dirt cheap options, but would be willing...
Do you think I can still use it if when I shut the preview lever it closes so that no glass can be seen. The lens seems to work fine its just has three missing apeture blades.
Hi there,
I received a super-angulon 1:8/90 Schneider-Kreuznach from a friend. Three of the appeture blades were acting weird/not working. Eventually they came loose and fell out. I am hoping...
Any thoughts?
also would someone be willing to explain the difference between the FS Rodenstock 210mm Apo Sironar N and the 210 Rodenstock macro sironar? someone is selling the former in the listings
Everyone thanks so much. All of this is very helpful. I wish chamonix provided a guide of done sort, at least a bit more information about the camera. I once rented a lens that according to fotocare...
side note: what brand make your favorite 4x5 film carriers?
Hi everyone!
So I have been shooting with my Chamonix 45f1 and Nikkor-W 150 lens. I am interested in getting a lens that can do close up work, certainly something for portraiture, but also...
Also any recomendation for tripod legs would also be greatly appreciated. I forgot to mention in my earlier post that having light weight gear is very important to me. I am looking for both light...
Hi all,
I am looking to purchase a tripod head. I currently have a ball head from manfrotto and find it to not be precise- you move it forward and it slightly moves to the side, etc. I shoot with...
parts of "minds eye" unfortunately at the moment my site is down. I am making a new one.
So at the airport I asked for a hand check the woman put the wand to it but then made me put it through the machine... It's portra color 400. On the way back ill ask for a hand check again. The woman...
Hi guys. Just wanted to give you the update and thank you again for all your advice. The chamonix f1 is beautiful. I just started shooting with it the past few days still getting used to locking...
Do you this it is better to have your exposed sheet film in holders or back in their boxes? I just flew to France from NYC. I brought my portrait 400 4x5 film in my carry on and asked for a hand...
Also is benro a good cheaper and light alternative to gitzo?
If I already purchased a lens board with my camera, do I want it mounted still?
It is done! I have placed an order for a Chamonix F1. Drew, I don't doubt you are quite right and very open to the possibility of this being the right camera for me... but as of now that will need to...
While the speed graphic is tempting (and I may one day consider getting one), Larry is right in that I would like to start composing my images and working with a tripod. Knowing how heavy tripods so...
Finding a used Chamonix 45n-2 has led to zero results. I will either have to buy it new or consider going with the other options (many of which I am sure will work for my needs just as well). I used...
... can't find any that are used to buy. Hmmmm
