Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

[jnl]

Thanks a lot for your answer, perfect for me !
Another question (sorry newbie on LF, even if quite at ease with MF and my Hasselblad !)... i got almost everything for my Travelwide except for the release cable.
What length do we need for the Travel wide + 90 angulon f6.8 ?
Do you have specific model (how do you attach it to the camera hole ?), do you have a link so that i can see what to get/buy ?

Will really enjoy to have demo videos for people like me who has never done LF before, explaining the basics, what to do, what NOT to do
Thanks by advance for everything...

You can use a standard basic cable release. It should be at least 12in long. It fits right through the hole in the handgrip. Here is one on sale for $5.00 that would work -

Here is one that might sit a little more flush to the body but cost more money.

If you are buying a new release, I would probably stay away from the ones that have large finger grips. They will probably stand up really high off the camera. Here is an example of what I am talking about for comparison. http://www.camera-filters.com/index....oducts_id=6334

Tx a lot.

Looking forward to my Travelwide. I found a viewer much like the on in Bens video but with no sharp edges like the one he is supplying with the camera on eBay for 32$ delivered to the states.

I'm afraid my Linhof will get dusty with this new horse in the stable.

Those viewerfinders are discussed quit a bit above. I have mine right here. They're sure not a Voigtlander, but don't cost like one either. Should be fine for the job.

A lot of bought those already.

Very nice for the money.

Well, you know, if it's looking for a good retirement home, I'm in the market....

I also bought one of those plastic cast viewers from the guy in Israel, a 20mm, he had no 21mm posted that day. I think a 22mm might even be better. I attached it to my Wista with a 150mm Symar. The symar is a tighter view. The quality of the viewer is just OK;in the short range it's soft. I also bought the BLIK (Russian LOMO viewer). There's a lot of them out there and the prices vary. I paid about $20 +shipping. Works well, but before I found the BLIK I bought a Waltz viewfinder for $12 + only $4 shipping. I like the Waltz better and may resell the BLIK after I check with a buddy who also bought a TravelCam. Since buying the TravelCam I have found other portable non-focusing 4x5 cameras, one from Ilford. However, they all cost more and I believe the Travel cam has a superior design. Looking forward to getting my TravelCam already planning an outing and hike to play with it .

Happy Trails, Steve

The Ilford is a pinhole. While the Wanderflust will come with a pinhole cap so you can use it that way, what really makes it different is being designed from the ground up to be used handheld, which isn't practical with pinholes given the exposure time.

The Isralie finder is indeed "just ok" - but that's all I need. Isn't the BLIK a rangefinder? I didn't know they had a dedicated viewfinder. I'm planning to get myself a cheap rangefinder too.

Do you guys think the Leica viewfinder 21-24-28 could be a good solution (not considering the price of course) ?

I hope they could produce OVF for their wanderlust... with extra fee or something
