Hey all! I have a Crown Graphic, and I'm wanting to find a flash solution...without uaing flashbulbs. I've heard that some people use the Vivitar 283. Can anyone explain to me exactly how to use the Vivitar 283 with the Crown Graphic? Can you tell me what cord I need, what settings to use on the flash and on my camera?

Or if you have a better solution, can you tell me about it? Thanks so much!

Best place to sell a Schneider Symmar-S 300mm copal 3? I have two brand new red 29 and 3 stop nd filter for it to, on an intrepid lens board

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a realistic market valuation for this extensive Linhof Technika (not sure of the series) (4x5) kit. Everything has been sitting for a long time but seems to be in good cosmetic condition. I have confirmed the bellows are light-tight and the rails move smoothly.

I’m curious: Does anyone else here use platform mounting for their large format or ULF prints? I’m finding for my panoramas on rag paper, they keep the piece pretty stable. As opposed to a t-hinge, no tape comes in contact with the print itself, reducing the likelihood of it buckling as the fiber-based paper expands and contracts from changes in humidity. I picked the idea up from veteran framer Jim Miller on the Picture Framer’s Grumble (thegrumble.com).

Wormsloe Historic Site, Chatham County Georgia, 2024. 10x24 Vandyke brown print, selenium toned, on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag. Made with an in-camera negative from a 105-year-old Cirkut No.10 and 16.5” Schneider Repro-Claron on Ilford HP5+ aerial film expired 2004. This one is going on display at the Chicago Cultural Center in August as part of the Midwest Large Format Asylum’s exhibition, The Big Picture.

While I already have a graflex, I wanted to play around with a monorail style camera for some studio stuff. I already owned a 3D printer and thought I'd try one of the designs that exists already for these. Made a few modifications to the Vega 4x5 camera to fit the equipment I had and pretty happy with the results

I've been using a community darkroom in my area to learn how to print for the past 6 months or so. Finding out one of the enlargers can handle 4x5 gave me the push to go out and shoot more with my Toyo View. This was far and away the best negative I had and the print turned out great!

Camera: Toyo View 45G(got a workout carrying that around)
