I have a Zone VI 4x5 camera with a spring back. Other than the

Calumet 120 roll film holder, are there any other roll film backs that

can be used?

For 8x10 negatives I use Unicolor and Beseler drums that were made for

developing color prints. Using a drum roller, I have continuous

agitation.

The adds for the 2450 claim it has a 4x9 transparancy adaptor. Is

this correct or is it an 8x10 adaptor?

The Dektol has oxidized and is not usable. Even in the envelope, a

small amout of oxygen can enter, and over time, the developer is ruined.

I will be using vc printing paper to take a paper negative using a pin hole camera, f 360. Do you have any suggestions for a reasonable ISO rating for vc printing paper, e.g. Agfa Premium RC paper?

Under the lens there is a lock and it can be used to extend the

bellows. This is in addition to the round knob used for a fine focus

adjustment.

If you have the more recent version of the Aristo cold light (called

VL45?) you can use vc filters under the lens or 6x6 filters on top of

the negative holder. The latter method does not allow for easy filter

changing. Aristo sells the newer tubes for about $100. It is worth the

cost. The color of the newer light is "green."

The Epson 1680 scanner has an attachment that will scan a 4x5 transparency. Do any of you have any comments on using this scanner for 4X5 black and white negatives?

Thanks,

It sounds like you need to tip the front standard back as far as you

can before moving the two standards together. Also, for vertical

shots, you may need to tip both standars back to avoid taking a picure

of the end of the bed of the camera.

If it has a 00 shutter, the only way to keep the shutter open is to

use a shutter release cable with a lock. Open the shutter and then

use the lock on the cable to keep it open while composing the picture.

I am looking for the rear horizontal bellows extension rack for a

Korona 8x10 camera. Does anyone know of a source for parts for these

cameras?

The cold light goes into the aluminum cylinder on top of the

diffusion plate. The aluminum cylinder is attached to the gray metal

box. The arms used to lift the light are attached to the gray box.

Does anyone know the diameter of the image circle for a Fujinon 300-L f5.6 lens. That is, how much movement is possible using it on an 8x10 camera?

Thanks, LJ

For 4x5 B&W use a 210 mm lens with TMX. The exposures will be long,

dont' forget resoprocity. The canyons are so narrow a wide angle

lens is not useful. One needs to take pictures of small areas, not

the whole wall.

The purple was on TMX. You did not fix it long enough. If you re-

fix it the purple will disappear.
