What are the differences between the above two Linhof cameras? Thanks in
advance.

With Kodak ceasing production of B&W paper, I wonder which 4x5 they will
produce longer: B&W (TMX), E-6 (E100), or C-41 (Portra 160)??
I figured that the only users of 4x5 will eventually be the fine-art folks
who like B&W.  

Does anyone know the size of the circle of coverage for these older lenses?
I'm particularly wondering about the 180mm f5.6, 240mm f5.5 and 270mm f5.5.
Anything else (like flange distance) would be interesting, but its the
circle sizes I'm really after.  I could measure them, but I ...

I posted last week about an older angulon lens I'd found, and I've gone
to a local camera place to ask advice on the smudge on the lens.
It seems that it might be a streak of oil on the inside of the rear
element, or it might be a deterioration of the coating, or both. It's

I seem to have lost the information I had about the proper centerfilter
for the 121mm f/8 Super-Angulon.  This lens has the 77mm filter
thread.  I know the filter is NLA from Schneider, but I can't recall
its designation.  I was sure I had a PDF about it somewhere on this

This is cross posyed in the darkroom group as well!!
Well, I just shot about 14 8x10 negs of Ilford FP4+ of my 7 mo old
Daughter--I was rather caught up in the moment and just used my flash meter
and shot them--not an easy task with my wife/mother hen squawking the whole

Are schneider-kreuznach lenses for 4 x 5 made in Germany necessarily better
than or different from the same made in Japan (eg. 150mm)?  Bob, your views
would be greatly valued. Thanks.

Dear folk,
I am not quite sure of whether I am OT or not but I think I am not the
only one who enjoy LF also with pinholes.
My question is the following. I have taken photographs with a pinhole

I'm hoping to make B&W A3+ prints from some 5x4 FP4+ negatives using my
Epson 1270 printer.  A friend with an Epson scanner with LF capability has
offered to do the scans.
What resolution would you recommend for this?  (He seemed somewhat surprised

Can you use a 127mm Ektar lens on a 4X5 camera?  If so, what size
mounting hole is needed?  What size filter does it take?  And how do
those danged "series" filters and lens hoods work, anyway?  
These questions and hundreds more are answered in this little 60-page

So, if anyone cares, another bit of anecdotal evidence in support of my
contrarian hypothesis. This one comes from a a cow orker of mine. I noticed
they had a St. Adams poster on the wall by their desk, so I mentioned it by
way of idle chit-chat.

My question: to make prints for sale limited edition or not?
A gallery is opening here in Colorado and will feature some of my
photos.  While I do sell over the internet, I do not try (really have
no time right now).  I've never sold more than 100 prints of any

cross-train.

On 26 May I sent the original(!) bellows on frames from my recently-acquired
Improved Seneca View (whole-plate format) to Turner Bellows in Rochester, NY,
for replacement.  A few days later I received a nice reply from Joe Merry
quoting 5-6 weeks turn - no problem, I was still ...

I have recently purchased on e-bay a Linhof described as Technica V - light
coloured  (beige like). It has a lever for raising the lens. (I assume this
to be a master technica, uless I am wrong). Should I have bought the more
recent black version? Are there any difference between ...
