<p>I have a few shots of gem stones on 8x10 but I faked it by usung big props from an interior decor store. They are actually the size of a baby's fist.</p>

<p>Hello All,<br>
<br />Everything went well. We filled the back room of The Hickory<br />Hallow restaurant with photographica; all tables full. Everyone worked well<br />together with some friendly sharing of table space when it got crowded. The food was<br />good too. Solid Texas BBQ of all kinds and the beverage of your choice!<br>
We'll give it a try next year.<br>
<br />The Texas Photographic Collectors Association meets at<br />Professional Camera Repair (4410 Richmond in Houston TX) every third Saturday from 10-12AM. Meetings are informal. Drop in<br />for coffee, doughnuts and camera-talk. Bring something interesting and tell us<br />about it!<br>
<br /><br /></p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who came (or left with) stuff.<br>
<br />Drew Bedo</p>

<p>Rob:</p>
<p>I couldn't agree more. all the theory and math just define a starting point. Nothing beats an actual measurement for this kind of project.</p>
<p>Best wishes Francesco,</p>

<p>Go ahead and do the math; its a good thing. Before actually making the camera you envision,: Get ahold of a view camera (rent, borrow etc) and mount the lens in question. Make a board fro cardboard if necessary and use as much gaffer's tape as necessary. Focus oat the distance a you want at the aperature you need. Remove the lens from the board and actualy measure from the board to the front of the GG. This should be the demension you will need to replicate when building your camera. </p>
<p>Am I righht . . .anybody?</p>

<p>Dean:</p>
<p>You do great stuff. What about the SX-70 system: Could one of these cameras be converted to take the 2x3 cut film holders or the 6x7 rolefilm backs? What about going up to 4x5???</p>
-
<p>Didn't Razzle have a video out on DVD that went over the steps for converting a Polaroid to 4x5? Seems like there was a lot of experience in this developed over the past ten years— is that DVD the only sharing of technique?</p>

<p>Sorry—didn't mean to generate any DRAMA. <br>
\<br>
I just wanted to promote the showing of several friends. If you are in Houston this Friday night, why not drop around and see the current work of several good people?</p>
-
<p>What is the focal length? What will it cover? shutter? Max aperature? Can you post any pictures?</p>

<p>there used to be a commercial display option called "DuraTrans" that produced a color teansparency as a drable plastic image suitable for extended viewing as a back-lighted display. Is this still acvailable? If so, it would meet your needs.</p>

<p>I will be shooting in colorado this summer. Are there any processing labs in Denver or Boulder that do 4x5 and 8x10 B&W or E-6?</p>

<p>At the risk of becoming a well-meaning member, I would point out that View Camera Magazine printed a couple of articles on modifying one of the Speed Grafic cameras for both front swing and tilt. While this is not the high-end solution, it may suit your needs for a relativly light weight and relativly inexpensive "technical" camea.</p>
<p>My 4x5 Kit is based around a Zone VI, (the single extension Wista model). It is light weigh, has many (not all) movements, and is pretty to look at. </p>
<p>Keven is right though: First check out what the state-of-the-art is, decide what meets the requirements of your project,then figure out what you can afford.</p>

<p>Hello Art,</p>
<p>Check this and largeformatphotography dot info. There were a series of threads on these conversions starting in 2003 or so. While a lot of energy was spent on drama, there was a lot of good information too. "Razzle Dog" (Noah?) put out a DVD with instructions at one tome too.</p>
<p>The 150mm lens will need 150mm (or so) from the primary node of the lens to the film plane. If the conversion you do sets the ground glass far enough back, you may not need to modify the front standard. I have never done any of this, so do your research first.</p>
<p>Keep us posted and show pictures!</p>

<p>Exposure is additive for multiple "pops" of electronic flash with an open shutter..</p>
-
<p>There are only three sizes of mounting rings/flanges: Too Large, Too small and Wrong Thread!</p>
-
<p>Here it is: Gowland Pocket View. This has to be the lightest weight 4x5 mono-rail view vamera ever made.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Hello G: <br>
Another thought might be one of the Polaroid 110 conversions ( Razzle, Byron, Alpinhaus). They fold up compactly and shoot a good bit like your M-3 with a range/viewfinder (coupled, paralax corrected etc). Ground glass viewing is possible and the tripod can be very light.</p>
-
<p>The lightest momorail 5x4 that know of is the <strong><em>Gowland Pocket View.</em></strong> They come up on the'Bay from time to time and usually go down for under $400. Is that light enough and/or cheap enough?</p>

<p>Hello R-J,</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. </p>
<p> I am familure with the use of a spot meter. I realize that this is a meter some 3 or 4 generations old. I own other reliable meters that can be used to evaluate the meter and probe combination.</p>
<p>The issue is that the equipment is incomplete and I would like to find these missing parts.</p>
<p>Again, thanks for your advice.<br>
<br>
If anyone can help with this, I am willing to consider a true "parts" meter if it has the dial(s).</p>

<p>I had a factory sealed box of Tri-X hand inspected ay Houston's Bush Interconental Apt (IAH). They opened the box and cut the end off both internal envelops in daylight! </p>

<p>I have a Sinar Six meter Syatem (probe, meter and cassett) that I bought "for parts". A new battery fixed the meter and everything seems to work great, but . . . .<br /><br />There is a set of plastic snap-on dials with imprinted scales that are required to actually measure light with this system. I do not have them. I have contacted Sinar and they are no help. I am waiting to hear from Gossen and Manfrotto. <br /><br />Can anyone help me out here? I am willing to consider a true parts meter if it has the dials.<br /><br />Drew Bedo<br /><a href="mailto:Drew_Bedo@yahoo.com">Drew_Bedo@yahoo.com</a></p>
