    Want to Buy WTB: 110X110mm lens boards for Toyo 45A

    You can also use a Canham board - they fit fine - check Badger Graphics for new ones - about $35

    Toyo 45CF & Xenotar 150 for Portrait? Need advice.

    Toyo finders are hinged on the left and attach with two pins that fit into holes in the left side of the Toyo back - the bottom pin is fixed and the top pin is spring loaded. Making anything fit is possible, I don't know what a Cambo back attachment system is - maybe someone else here will give...

    The best rangefinder for street photography

    Why not a TLR ? You don't need to hold it up to your face to shoot - most people don't know what you are doing as they have seen so few of them. You can even use them when you are turned away from your subjects - Rollei is my choice for quiet smooth operation.

    Beseler Lens Boards - Not All The Same?

    Yes, you are correct - I was thinking of the VXL.

    Beseler Lens Boards - Not All The Same?

    Larger lens on the 4x5 may need a different board so the rear element can clear the metal that is part of the turret attachment - I think it starts to be a concern with 180mm designs and up.

    RH designs timers

    My vote would be for the analyser - the meter functions are a plus that you will probably grow to like, if for nothing else than speeding up the process of test strip printing - It will also take density readings - and its not that much more than the plain timer.

    ideas for carrying LF equipment

    For flat, level, and hard terrain - jogging stroller - nothing will be easier to push. For really big loads - bike trailer or pet strollers - do a goggle search. I use a jogging stroller - holds a lot and keeps everything at waist level so when I stop there is no unpacking or bending over...

    Wooden - classic Bromwell Tripod

    They were made in Germany by Berlebach - B&H sells them now - Berlebach has their own website with the full line - they are a good tripod - $105 sounds like a good deal depending on condition and model.

    Mamiya RB67 Pro-S and Pentax flash FGZ-360

    I believe that Pentax has an extension cord (PC to Shoe) that they made for 360 flash unit - I recall using one with a Pentax 645.

    Info on Ilford multigrade 500H and Agfa Varioscope 60

    I believe the Agfa is a Durst enlarger made for Agfa - posting a photo will help ID it. The Ilford head is very well made and RH designs makes current control/timer units for it. Well worth looking into - if offered means free or close to free, I would certainly suggest you take it. You...

    PYRO, PYRO, PYRO!!!

    I have been using Pyrocat MC with hangers for 5x7 and 8x10 sheet film with no problems - I do one lift per minute and have not had problems with surge marks. I use IR night vision goggles to develop by inspection and highly recommend this as an option to try. Using IR goggles has been...

    The Pocket Spot by Metered Light

    I know you are going to like using it - I have been using one for about 3 years now - love it! Small, light and I have had no problems with its readings. I just hang it around my neck and slip it in my shirt pocket - its there when you need it with no bulk or weight. One of the best...

    Fuji GX680 Remote Release?

    I looked at the post - were you able to make one? Is it a simple switch that makes contact between leads from two pins? Releases for I or II seem to be easy to find - III's seem to be rarer and priced around $250. Could you adapt a I or II release to work on a III?

    RB67 Back from KEH Question

    I think it only works on the Pro SD model of the RB67 if you are thinking of the 6x8 version - but KEH does have a good return policy.

    Fuji GX680 Remote Release?

    Looking for information- Can you use a Fuji GX680I or GX680II remote release on a GX680III? Attaching port looks the same, release looks the same - is there a circuit difference? Thanks -

    Seeking Opinions: Fuji GX680I or II vs GX680III

    I would be interested in any user's opinions on a Fuji GX680I or II vs the GX680III. From what I can gather there are two differences - the battery used and data imprinting by the film back. Am I missing something else that would be important? The body style is also a little different, is...

    Chamonix or Canham 4x5 Shortest Lens??

    Canham will take a Toyo field recessed panel - so you can gain about 10mm over the listed specs - which are correct as far as compressed bellows is concerned.

    Using 300W ELH bulbs in old spec Multigrade 500H

    I have one with the clip on heat shields - they are to protect the wires from direct exposure to the IR from the bulbs - It would not be hard to make your own keeping an air space between the shield and the wiring to the bulb. But, why not just use the 150 watt bulbs - if you have the right...

    Screen printing UV light box for Alt. processes

    I build one using 5 Home Depot black light 18" fixtures - as I remember they where about $16 each including a black light bulb - I put them in a plywood box and used a power strip to plug them into. Its been working just fine for me - exposure times are in the 3 to 5 minute range. I use a...

    Do you make same picture on both sides of the film holder?

    Really depends on how hard it was to get to the location - if it is someplace I know I will not very likely return to I will make a second exposure. Also, if I have some reason to "distrust the meter" I will make a second using a different speed/f stop setting. Assuming I am not rationing film...

    Beseler 45V-XL 8x10 Glass Carrier - Infor?

    Could anyone post a picture or describe what the glass 8x10 carrier looks like for the Beseler 8x10 head on a 45V-XL (or the 45MXT 8x10 head which should be the same)? I have the enlarger and the glass carrier that came with it is put together with black masking tape - somehow I don't think...

    Foam for Zone VI type 2 enlarger

    If you need the foam on the underside of the head where it contacts the negative carrier - anything will work as it does not get very hot, it just fills the gap to control light leaks. Why not use the weather strip foam from any of the hardware chains - that is what I did with mine.
  27. Empire State

    I like to observation platform in midtown at Rockefeller Center - Top of the Rock - better than the Empire State. There is no fence - lower level has glass plates with gaps that a lens will fit through and the upper level has open air. If you have time you may want to do both.
  28. Comment by 'rmann' in media 'Sydney'

    I did debate about the "sit up" command and the "sit still" and opted for "sit still" - she just turned 4 and is always in motion so for a 1/4 second exposure I am happy with the lack of motion in this shot.
