Bob Eskridge,

Thanks much for the extender offer. I may contact you about purchasing one but I also have to solve the issue of connecting a release cable to the shutter. The Galvin recessed lens...

Have you considered one of the older Calumet shades that were made for the C1 and also the 4x5? They are very stout and durable, all metal and good bellows quality. I've adapted them to fit a couple...

Awhile ago I purchased a mint SA 65mm f5.6 for use with a Galvin view. I have since aquired an original Galvin recessed lens board. There is a problem with the Copal 0 having adequate clearance...

Thanks for your post Eugene............I already had SK Grimes in my resources, I just wasn't aware he worked on Copal's. I'll call him and discuss the conversion..

Eugene,

Yes, this is what I need a connector that is perpendicular to the back of the shutter. This Copal 0 I have is on a Schneider SA 65 f5.6 and it has a vertical PC connector unlike what you...

Micheal,

Thanks for the feedback. My Durst has both the easel/column setup and also a separate wall mounting bracket and column clamps so I can either use the enlarger sitting on a counter or it...

I totally agree with Christopher that the camera really is too much for the B1, rather at an absolute bare minimum you should use the B1G.

I own a B1 (newest 5th generation) and I also have a...

Frank,

I have a Devere 504 with the color 500 computer and the Dichromat 4 color head which is 250 watt 120 volt. The entire setup uses the 203/504 trans stab unit.

Your assumption may be...

Steven,

I have three 4x5 enlargers and one is a DII with a Omegalite and it makes nice prints but it is not a bright light source so times can become rather long when making some prints. Other...

I want to retrofit an 8x10 lamphouse to one of my 4x5 enlargers. The Durst I want to change is a Laborator 1000, it is presently configured with a colorhead. I also have a second lens...

Brian,

It sounds to me like galled threads. Additional lubricant may help, try Corrosion X, a superb lubricant anti-seize. Used a lot with saltwater fishing gear and marine applications. It does...

Steve,

I'm speaking of the PC connection, not the shutter release. I am familiar with angled adapters for a shutter release but I have never seen a low profile PC connector. Thanks.

I'm looking for a solution to the mounting of a Copal 0 on a Galvin recessed lensboard. I find that the layout of the controls on the Copal can just barely be operated in the available limited space...

How much more in the way of movements could I realize if I went with the 75, I don't think it would it be very significant on 4x5. I haven't mounted this 65 I purchased on my Arca yet but I figured...

What's the general consensus on the Schneider SA 65mm 5.6 lens?

I was at a used show looking for a Rodenstock 75 4.5 and came across this Schneider and it was in mint shape and the price was very...

Hi!

I came across a used frame monorail(ARCA SWISS 8x10). Can anyone inform me of t he going price? The owner quoted me an even 177.00 US$ for the item with no len sboard and no back. Is it...

Here's a couple suggestions that I've used. One is black cinefoil, you can get it from Calumet and other sources. You can bend it or shape it any way you want, like its name implies, it is foil.
...

I know one thing I can count on and that is my use and preference of using traditional imaging products and processes. I agree with what Micheal said to just keep using and supporting the use of...

I'm interested in a Rodenstock wide angle lens for my Arca Swiss 4x5 and want to have the angle of view roughly equivalent to a 17mm on 35mm format. I assume th at to be about 107 derees in the 35mm...
