I believe you can use RB stuff on the RZ not the other way around.

Here, try again

Don't sell it to Pico, I pay 60 cents per pound. Seriously, if you are unsure about the lense,

send it back. I would hate to have a lense I am unhappy with.

Darcy

Just to rephrase my initial posting....

"Gotta be all artificial lighting."

should be

"Gotta be all natural lighting" and the "lights" below the tv screens appear to be reflections to

me. It appears she also used a soft focus filter.

Here you go. This is what they are going for.

that is item number 7625317611 on the big auction website. Gees maybe I will buy one...$170 hmm

Buy a cheap Bronica SQai or bronica 6x7 with a normal lens. Super cheap good to try out the format. Don't buy any other lenses accessories. Give yourself time to try out the camera. Then decide. Bronica lenses are super sharp.

Darcy

Thanks for the compliment Glenn. I goes to show that if you can put your mind to it, you can

go alot of things. My motivation was that I want to get my camera together that I am

building. It is a 6x17cm camera with interchangeable lenses taking 72mm-450mm lenses. It

will have a dark slide so I can change lenses without losing one shot. Here is a picture of the

skeleton.

Mr Pico:

I think I misunderstood you. I don't think you were trying to be annoying. It must be the

english language.

Darcy

Mr Pico:

That was the quote from Turner bellows $225. Seriously. I was not talking about a linhof

tecknika. Although, I don't see why a linhof bellows would be any more difficult than mine to

make. Pico, you are quite an abrasive guy aren't you.

Hi:

I just finished making a belllows for a 6x17 panoramic camera. I have a recommendation. Unless you

enjoy doing projects like this, have alot of time,planning on making more than one bellows or you are on a

low budget, I do not recommend you make one.

First of all, trying to find all the information on making a bellows is sketchy and complicated. The best

resource I had was Doug Bardell's information. Although, alot of things on his website are not explained

well, if you take some time and thought, you can figure it out for your own bellows. Make a practice

bellows the same dimension as the one he has on the website first. This will give you some ideas how to

make your own bellows in the dimensions for your camera.

The material I used was from an old film changing bag. It is thin, light tight and works well. The contact

cement is awful, there must be some other adhesives that are better. Maybe will try the spray adhesive

next time.

It costs about $200 to have one made. Making my own, if I got paid, I guess I was making about $8 to $10

an hour! fortunately, I have more than one to make, so it has to get better.

If you have only one to make, I would recommend having it professionally done. My new bellows is shown

here. It was nice to be able to put one together.

Hi there:

I am in the midst of buying a 6x17 canham back and I would like to know what cameras others have

successfully used these backs. I am happy to modify a camera if need be.

Darcy

I actually have a Sinar F1 that is mint condition with a bag bellows and other accessories. I

am selling it because I need a 5x7 camera. Email me if you are interested. I have hiked with

the F1, it is easy to setup but I will only shoot maybe 10 shots a day max. But isn't that what

you do with large format anyway? I am a fairly strong person so the difference between a 6

pound and an 8.5 pound camera isn't an issue. Come to think of it, I don't think it should be

for anyone. It fits in my backpack nicely. But don't listen to me I am biased.

Darcy

What is the minimum bellows extension of a Korona 5x7 view camera?

Darcy

Correction the minimum bellows extension of 84.8mm or 3.34 inches or 110mm or 4.34

inches when used with a recessed lens board of 1 inch depth. That is so a 75mm super

angulon can be used with the 5x7 camera. Referral to a table with all the specs on the

cameras would be helpful if there is anything like that.

regards

I would like to know all the 5x7 cameras that have a minimum bellows extension of 2.65 inches or

less. I am building 6x17 backs for the 5x7 cameras and this is the minimum bellows extension needed. I

am talking all vintages to new. view to monorail

Thanks

Hi shutter leafs fell out. Can someone send me the pdf for synchro compur shutter repair on

my sa 90?

thanks

"A view camera spec tells you how close you can usefully bring the front standard to the gg

or film plane. That is called the minimum bellows extension."

Thanks Leonard this is what I am looking for. I don't need to know the closest focusing

distance but rather what the minimum bellows extension meant in the specs.

Thanks

When a cameras specs shows its closest focusing distance, is that measured from the back of

the front standard to the film plane?

thanks

Scott, how do you like your 91 synchro? I considered buying one because of the 4WD and

westfalia camper. How do you find it?

No, I just thought it would be a good camera to buy in the future. You mentioned one

showing up on e*ay, at what selling price?

Also, you stated that you figure there are better cameras out there, can you specify which

ones and what they would sell for?

I have been looking for specs on this camera. Can you use a 75mm lens with a regular

bellows or do you need the wide angle bellows? What is the reach on the telephoto end?

thanks

Ask here also.
