I like the StopLossBags. And I wonder how many took the empty wine bags comment to heart?

Thanks Kino!

You’ve made me sad. But for information sake, I was referring to the Mini that looks like the 4x5 SG but shoots 2x3. I just do not currently know the exact production model.

Does anyone have any experience about this? A kit that was developed a while ago?

Perhaps, like me, you should sell some???? But I still can't get to the classifieds, just yet. Still wet behind the ears.

I saw that Jeff Bridges was the inspiration. There's something good in the hood (Hollywood hood). And this thread is almost 3 years old!?!?! I saw the article (very recent publication) just the other day, too. How long does this process take??? That's a rhetorical question. It takes...

A number of years ago, there was a thread about using an inert foam lid to prevent the chemistry from oxidizing too quickly in large reservoirs. I was thinking about water bags or even, if you have a tank with a lid on top, floating some foam there. Does anyone have experience or other...

The shutter is horrible. How would I "add" suppleness to the bellows? Leather conditioner? Nice video; thanks, I saved it for reference later.

I was aware of the idea of an image circle of lens and how they cover the format of desire. But the Stroebel book “View Camera Technique” 5th edition, has this (new to me) idea of “circle of good definition” which is not the same circle of coverage because it is likely smaller than coverage...

I just won this camera in an auction and boy is it rough! Dark and dirty, but the bulb and hose for tripping the shutter is still there; which is amazing to me. I think the Auction house didn't know how to open it. Funny enough; I got a film pack of Super-XX unexposed. I'm eager to engage...

Has anyone much experience shooting with this camera in a method like a view camera? That's the only way I've shot with this; I've never used the rangefinder and am more scared that I would get the focus off as I like to shoot big negatives. I've got a 6x7 and a 6x9 back as well as a couple of...

Did OP submit an image of this "apron"? I would love to see an easier way of loading film onto a reel.

You see, I'm so new I didn't even know that this was already a thing. Thanks, Koraks!

I was researching the different lenses that can be used for this format and I was looking for who had opinions. I could always post the wrong information and just wait for the pack to descend to correct me, but I don't like rage-baiting. I've read 180mm macro lenses and maybe some 210mm...

I'm looking for parts to replace the crappy plastic locking levers. Any ideas or suggestions? I've looked at Ebay.
