I just picked up a Polaroid 545 Pro Film Holder, for use with my 4X5
Toyo Field Camera.  I have heard many positive comments about the
quality of the negatives for enlargement, and so decided to give Type
55 film a try.

i want to acquire a 5x7 camera to try some platinum/albumen prints, but
right now all i have is a 2x3 camera (and 4x5, but i want the other aspect
ratio). until i get a decent 5x7, is there any way to get a 2x3 neg and

Nikon, Inc. is ceasing production of LF lenses. They will sell the remaining
stock, and that's the end.

I'm pretty much a LF novice having only tinkered with Graphics and developed
maybe a dozen or so sheets of film. I'm looking for a not-too-heavy monorail
I can use in the field to photograph tall ships, lighthouses, 2-3 story
buildings. I'm looking to spend under $1k used. I ...

Between 1965 and 1971 there was a magazine called Aspen. It was the first
real multi-media magazine. The content was not bound; it was loose in a box.

I have a Monorail  view camera, Burke and James "Saturn 75", 4x5 and 5x7
backs etc.  Got 25 years ago and have not used for 20 years.  In good/great

I used many years ago and got decent shots.

Will a Linhof 5x7 Super Technika focus properly with a lens and matching cam
from a Super Technika 4x5?

Here's something simple but I just don't know the math or the web sites

If a 115 Grandagon-N is focused 3/4" past infinity then it will cover

Dear readers
  I have a Calument 8x10 camera with a very poor ground glass. I tried t
build a black cover, in order to focus properly . But sides of right, left, top & botto
always shown not  perfectly and I always got very upset everytime I used it.

If you want to clean up the internet you should make spamming
punishable by death. And we'll let Sam Alito hand down the
judgments on those.....bahahahah.

   I just took my view camera out of storage where it's been kept for about
20 years. It's a wooden folding camera and it's been stored in a canvas
backpack. The backpack seems to have had some kind of rubberizing or
softening agent incorporated into the canvass that has eaten ...

I'm thinking about setting up a portable studio lighting set up at
home to take some portrait and indoor decorating shots.  I will be
using an Omega 4 X5.  I have a couple of light stands and umbrellas
along with a couple of Wein Peanuts to convert Electronic Flash to

I have another interesting lens.  It is what appears to be black
lacquered brass, 65 mm front to back, roughly 60mm diameter of the rear
threads.
In script (cursive), the front element reads:

Dear readers
For the past years, I have been dreaming to have a Nikon multi format fil
scanner.  Finally 2 months ago, I bidded a nice one for very very good price on Ebay
but without any film holder. I connected to my computer and all fine. Excep
