I've just "graduated" to an old, very affordable but good conditioned, MPP
monorail from my Microtechnical Mk VI.  First thing I noticed when trying to
use it, is that the focus knobs are on the RHS of the rail, only.  Being
right-handed, I normally hold the lupe in my right hand to ...

i have a question regarding a metering situation. i have both a view camera,
and a rangefinder 6x7, so it would apply to both. if i am using a stack
(really on or two) cokin-type filters, and need to get an accurate meter,
acn i just use my minolta FM IV with the flat diffused ...

Is there a guide to lensboard openings for various shutters? What size
opening should I get for a 90mm Angulon (4x5, non-super) and 270mm Arton?

I'm searching informations about the Sinar F1 and F2.
I'm new in LG and want to decide between the F1 or

Sounds ambitious, and maybe it is.  I propose to show
you a 24 x 30" print, made from scans of LF film.  Alas, I

I have a Copal 3 shutter, it has a "female" plate that is attached to the
wood lens board, that the shutter screws into  Will a Copal 1 and/or 0 screw

I bought this Spectra Combi 500 exposure meter, and I think I figured
out how to use most of the functions, except the slides. The meter
comes with 13 slides, they are 0, 15, 24, 32, 50, 64, 80, 100, 160,
200, 250, 320, and 400. There are 3 other "special" slides, X10 (125),

I am working on a project that requires a tall tripod. I have the Gitzo
1325, but it only goes to 58". I would like to find one that goes to at
least 80" without a center column. My Technika always seemed to wobble

In addition since I now print digitally the quality difference
