    Long live technical cameras and digital view cameras!

    I bought a MF digital back specifically because there are some roadblocks in color LF photography (and really all film photography) for me that were insurmountable. So while 95% of all my shooting is B&W film, I wanted to take a similar process for color digital, which I couldn't do with a...

    Fun with Light L16

    The OS issue I was originally not worried about because I found this page: https://l16update.com/ Which has the last firmware (1.3.5.1) as well as instructions for flashing the firmware locally. But then I stumbled across a thread elsewhere where a lot of people were having difficulty...

    Fun with Light L16

    So would I be crazy to buy a new one now in 2025? I don't shoot much digital, I'm 95% film but I'm going on a trip in a month and I'd like to bring a compact digital to carry with my Bronica. Of course its a dead-end, but for the $200 these are selling for on Amazon, I'll take a dead end...

    New film digital platform DIY

    Part of my initial reluctance with Negative Supply was cost. To be honest, everyone on this forum has FAR more money than I do--at least when I see people buying a $40k DB--thats only half what I paid for my house. :) So I'm very sensitive to price, and when I read about them in a parallel...

    New film digital platform DIY

    I've been told that the P3 has finer gearing in the movements than the P2 or X standard, but finding a P3 standard by itself is difficult. I haven't had issues yet about the movements on the X standard. I've also thought about attaching a different Sinar piece to the top of the rail tower then...

    New film digital platform DIY

    My setup is half disassembled at the moment but I should be able to assemble it for photos, maybe this weekend. but a quick description: I start with the sinar clamp: This is the Norma era model, mine is later and black, but is otherwise pretty much identical. This clamps to the desk and...

    New film digital platform DIY

    Nice setup! I'm using a off-the-shelf light, but my camera stand is built entirely from Sinar parts. My camera is a Pentax K-1ii, and lens is a Pentax-A series macro lens (actually a 50 and a 100 depending on the distance I need. What back are you using? It looks like a Phase 1 Pxx era back.

    The thing about GetDPI ....

    just a few small comments from someone that has minimal participation: When I first signed up, I never received the confirmation email that is needed to enable the account. I was able to get fixed because I had been messaging a Photrio user who was also a user here. He intervened and go...

    Horseman VH-R with Hasselblad 100c back

    If you go with something like what is shown in @TimoK 's screenshot you will need to recalibrate infinity on the camera (moving infinity stops) if you intend to use the rangefinder at all. These no-name brand DB mounts aren't generally designed to put the sensor plane at the same plane the film...

    How about more and more fun with Leica M? (Film)

    I may be wrong,but that looks very much like Utah rt 95, just north of the Colorado river bridge.

    Engraved lens caps for Rodenstock lenses

    I use lens wraps that way. Black wrap is a wide angle lens, blue wrap is "normal", grey is for my different g-clarons (I have almost the whole set), red is long lenses.since my lenses are always wrapped in my camera bag, color helps. In the case of these lens caps--they look nice, but I...

    Hand-held Pancakes

    If I had to guess, they came out with my model, then realized they could support Linhof boards by widening the light trap channel, so they did that in the next model. I kind of wish I was able to find an X for a reasonable cost, the telescoping rail would be nice. I have the short rail which...

    Hand-held Pancakes

    yup. I even measured the opening on the front standard and the diameter of the light trap on the linhof board. The linhof board's light trap was larger than the opening in the standard. Just thinking, I've never seen the adapter the Toho manual mentions, but it would be reletively easy to...

    Hand-held Pancakes

    Do you mean the brackets that hold the lens board to the front standard? Yes it has them. This is my camera: Here is the google translate of a bit of the last page of the FC45A manual: You can see it references an intermediate plate that adapts the linhof board to the camera. They...

    Hand-held Pancakes

    Mine is an FC45A, not a FC45X. Looking at the instructions for the FC45A, it reads as if there is an adapter to mount linhof boards. The opening on the front standard is a smaller diameter than the light trap on the rear of the linhof board. But I created a 3d model of the standard lens...
