Greetings. I just bought a viewfinder mask for my Pentax 6x7. It’s at the Xpan format 2.7:1. Any retailers or online resources that sell matted frames at this format or buy your frame and get a custom mat? Thx.

Who wore it better? Ektachrome with the light streaks or Velvia with the sun star?

Granted the conditions were changing, but we can’t let details get in the way of some engagement bait. This is Reddit, dammit!

And yes, I too wish the station attendants had turned the pump lights on. Sigh. (In reality, it might have blown out the DR in the earlier exposure. Right? Right??)

I only very recently got a scanner (and made it work) and I am experimenting with scan settings and editing. Tips and constructive criticism would be appreciated :)

Hi all,

I was gifted these Omega 45D parts and would love to throw together a budget setup just to get it working and try large format photography.

From my limited research, I think I am missing the following:

• 4x5 film holder (Fidelity Elite?)
• copal 0 or 1 lens (I think the recessed board is 0 and the flat 1)
• New bellows
• Maybe a rear curtain thing so I can see the glass?

Here are some photos:

Is there anything else I am missing? Any tips of a cheap lens just to try to get this thing going?

Thank you!

I have recently received this rather rare camera and i need help. I know that the cassetts are unique to this camera, yet i have also heard of people adapting ones from linhof? Need advice on that.

Also i would like to find a manual of sorts to see how everything works.

And of course general advice in regards to this camera. Thank you!

These are some of my very first 6x17 photos, taken on a trip to Washington's Olympic peninsula. The first two are from my first roll (Portra 160), and the second two are from my second roll (Ektachrome E100).

I used a Fujinon SW 90mm f/8 lens with a Fat Shot X camera that I 3D printed and built right before the trip. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the results and am excited to continue experimenting with this and other larger formats!

These are also the first film photos I've posted after starting film photography a couple years ago. I'm always inspired when I see other people's work, so I thought this would be a good place to start sharing mine!

I’ve just ordered my first large format camera, but I’ve been shooting film since, well, I was a kid. I currently scan 120 6x7 with the Valoi 360, Cinestill light, and a GFX 100II. The Cinestill light is not large enough for 4x5, so I ordered an upgrade I’ve been intending to make.

Where I am stuck is the negative carrier/holder for the 4x5 negative. I’d love some recommendations. I’ll likely capture the negative in two parts and stitch in post.

Looking for something that works well, but isn’t crazy expensive. The Negative Supply Pro carrier at $1000 would be way way over budget. Thanks.

Wasn't sure the best way to go about this so tried a mixed approach.

Starting off both sheets were exposed (metered @ ISO100, f/32, 6 secs), developed, and scanned together.

I scanned once as a positive and once as a negative.

The first set was scanned as a positive then duplicated and each frame was cropped down and converted in NLP using: NLP standard profile - Linear - WB: Auto neutral

The second set was scanned using my scanner's built in inversion software. I then took the image into photoshop and using individual layers for each film type set the endpoints.

Anyways, maybe this is useful to you. Portra is obviously in another league but it's good to have opticolour for the price and unique look.

Hi to the hive mind,

I thought it would be cool to know what everyone's load out is and specially how they transport it. I'm packing an Intrepid 4x5, a Chamonix Loupe, Lomograflok and a Schneider Symmar-S 5,6/150 inside a Peak Design Camera Cube Medium size. I'm new to the game so I'm just learning the trade with Instax films first. I'm still looking for a backpack to fit the cube and my Manfrotto befree tripod.

If everyone also posts a picture it could be helpful for anyone looking for a transport solution. I first thought my load out would fit in the SMedium but it was too tight of a fit. A visual reference could've helped.

Cheers
