I'm choosing between the Wisner 5x7 Traditional and the Canham MQC.
My current lenses are a 110mm Schneider XL, a 210mm Schneider APO-Symmar,
and a Fuji 450mm C.
If I go with Canham, I can use my 110mm.  No so with the Wisner due to its

Weston Ranger 9 users. I have added a page to my website detailing how
to convert this meter to use silver oxide batteries.

HiYa
just got back some sheets from a local lab, and it seems that there is a

To All:
Have seen varying degrees of opinion first, if millimeter size of lens between
135 mm or 150 mm enlarging lens have any distinct advantage/disadvantage over
one another for printing 20 x 24 in B & W printing?

I recently got two Schneider G-Clarons, a 150 mm and a 240 mm for next to
nothing, unfortunately as barrel lenses. Now I wonder if the lens is worth
to have it mounted in a shutter (#0 for 150 mm and #1 for 240 mm).
I know that the local Schneider dealer will do it for me, but ...

(I'm almost ready to give up my 4x5 hobby just because of this.)
With our favorite and almost-favorite films disappearing from the scene
would it be practical to form/join a co-op that could help these films
in production?

Can anyone tell me where to go in the Chicago area or in northern
Indiana to see large format photography? Most of the large format
photography I have seen has consisted of illustrations from books, and
I would like some opportunities to see actual prints.

I have a few ULF holders in various sizes that need new darkslides.  I'd
like to try making them myself and I'm wondering if anyone has actually
made them out of garolite (sp?) or maybe sheet aluminum?  Might other
materials be appropriate?

I have just bought a Horseman 970 outfit, to use along side my R/F

What are the technical advantages of a Linhoff Super Technika IV vs other 4 x 5
field cameras such as Zone VI, Toyo etc?
Thanks in advance.

I have a Gossen Luna Pro that I just figured out today is off by 3 stops.
Anyone know how to calibrate one? There's a little screw on the back in the
middle that looks like it might be a calibration screw, but I don't want to
mess around with it without knowing for sure.

What is the smallest. "Small High Intesity Daylight balanced light" I can
use to "sparkle" diamond jewellery.
Thanks
