I was thinking more of Nassau/Suffolk than NYC - Lighthouses would be fine, I'm not looking for street scenes - I would rather be pointed towards more natural locations.

How about a junction/socket on the cable allowing for cables of different length, different types to be plugged in? I could see having a cable/probe for tray use, and a different cable attached to a tank lid. Short cable for trays like a meter in length would be fine, for tanks maybe something...

Looking for suggestions for landscape locations - without people or signs of urban life on Long Island, NY.

Selling in Canada only, or looking to sell in US? Near any large cities for local pick up? Can you get it to a US shipping location? Parting out works well for carriers and lens boards. Search Ebay for closed auctions for some idea of current market value.

The D5500 takes special negative carriers and inserts - it is unlike any other Omega negative carrier set. Mounting the head will probably be a custom job as the D5500 head mounts using four studs at the rear of the head that project downwards while a D5 has its mounting at the top to lift the...

The mixing boxes from a 400 are different than the 500 - it might be easier to make one up from some sheet metal than to convert one. The RH Designs option might make some sense as it is more than just a control unit - if you look at the last auction results for a used probe and a control unit...

Looking for a new one - check B&H

From the photos it looks like you will need to get a control unit for the Ilford 500 head. These are on Ebay fairly often - I believe Iford still has the owners manual on their website for the 500 enlarger head. Bulb size is usually listed on the inside of the head - it takes two bulbs. Most...

I have used one of these for a while - perhaps the problem is due to only one sheet of film being in the tank? I have not had any problems like yours - but I usually do from 6 to 12 sheets at a time. I use an inversion once every minute for about 5 seconds when I am developing. Also, did you...

How do you tell the two different pack sizes apart when making an internet order? I just got one to try in person at B&H and they did not say anything about two different sizes??

Just to update the question with current pricing - Camera Bellows in the UK will ship a new one for 43 pounds - Camera Wiz will install one for $265 & CLA shutter - they use the UK bellows. I decided to send it in to Camera Wiz as they had a number of positive comments on this and other...

Anyone recently replace a bellows on a Fuji GS645 Folding camera? I am looking for suggestions on who does this work, how well it was done, or has anyone done a replacement themselves?

Interesting news - Metered Light will be making new Metrolux II Timers and announced plans to make another run of Pocket Spot Meters soon - http://meteredlight.blogspot.com/

I replaced a broken set of filters using this supplier - Dead Link Removed - I did have to modify their attachment to the lamp housings as I did not want to try cutting them down. They seem to be working just fine - I am getting VC results that you would expect at both ends.

Thanks for the information - now I know the difference between the two rails.

New user dumb question - On a Sinar F - are the base rails and extension rails the same? I have two base rails and would like to put them together- Do you just unscrew one of the ends of a base rail to make it an extension? Do you need some sort of special tool? Thanks for any...

Is anyone using a Wolf Tripod or seen one in person? I was looking at current tripods made of wood and found their website and a very few comments by doing a Google search. How do they compare with others? How is their fit and finish of metal and wood parts? As it appears they only are sold...

I am new to working with 4x5 cameras - been active less than a year and have a question about designs. I have only handled a few cameras and have shot with only a Shen-Hao and Wisner. I bought a Wisner over the Shen mainly for the double extension feature. I have been using a Wisner Tech...

I appreciate the help - tried all three of these stores - smallest thing they have is a day planner binder and they run about 4+ inches by 6+ inches and are about 3/4 inch thick - which makes them too big for a shirt pocket and quite a bit heavier, also.

Thanks for the input - I decided to take up Philippe's offer on an original binder. I still have not found a source for something that will fit in a shirt pocket with looseleaf rings which is what I liked about the original size notebook. Some daytime planners are close in size but much...

Anyone know of a source for a replacement loose leaf binder for the Zone VI exposure record sheets. Six rings - evenly spaced - pages are about 3" x 5" - mine has broken beyond repair. I have spent a few hours with Google and have not found any binder small enough for the page. I would like...

Got my Granddaughter to sit for a few minutes while I used my 4x5 - I used a single flash and a white foam core reflector.

I have the same problem, before I start to make one - do you have any idea what it would look like? Does it use the v groove and small rollers like other De Vere heads, or is it some other design?

If you were to put one wide angle lens on a Gaoersi 4x5 camera - which one would you suggest? I am thinking about a wide angle between 75mm to 105mm - light weight and small filter size, but also enough coverage to take advantage of the lens shift built into the camera. Lens speed would not...

I am thinking about mounting a Ilford 400 HL variable contrast head on a Beseler 23C chasis - I know Ilford did make adapter/mounts but have no idea if they made one for a Beseler 23C, and if they did - what it looked like. Any help would be appreciated on how to put these two together...

Just as a point of information - the Rollei meter is both a spot and an average meter. I did find it very useful when using the bellows extensions. Also, if you set the meter and camera to the same shutter speed and use the stop down lever on the lens - it is very easy to get the correct f...

Many, many thanks! I had a UV filter on the lens and never even thought to turn the ring next to the lens. Robert

Which outer part? The outer most part has a white line for the distance mark - it does not seem to move. The second ring has the distance scale and it also seems to stop at the near far distance limits. The inner ring is locked with the silver tab at the bottom for the A B and guide number...

I also have just found one of these - anyone know how to reset the ASA setting - I don't want to force anything? Mine is now set at ASA 250 and for the life of me I don't see how to get it to change. My understanding is the F stop and shutter speed are set together by the meter. The arrow...

I have built a 4x5 LED head using 3 watt Lumileds and a buckpuck driver. There was a thread earlier this spring on it. It took a little longer to finish that I expected. Two problems I had to solve were light fall off in the corners with blue and heat. To even the blue light I ended up using...
