pgk Posted December 7, 2018 Share #81 Posted December 7, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Waterhouse stops! Its a strange world where one of the oldest ways of producing a lens stop has not only survived but may be used to repurpose lenses for film use in this digital age. I rather like the idea. As it happens I have a spare diaphragm by Ross, but its a small one - I imagine that the EPIS lens would require a prohibitively expensive, very large diaphragm.

dkCambridgeshire Posted December 7, 2018 Share #82 Posted December 7, 2018 Tony Lovell's 'bits box' includes large diameter Waterhouse stops and iris diaphragms. The EPIS 1000mm is a work in progress; was advised yesterday camera requires a 'beefed-up' front extension mount so a revised (broader) brass mount (just for the extension) will be added … existing mount is showing signs of 'flex'. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this post I have bought a Speed Graphic 4x5 and a Gundlach 5x7, both of which I use. I have also just finished restoring a Rochester 8x10 plate camera that I have not yet shot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogallol Posted December 7, 2018 Share #86 Posted December 7, 2018 This is one of the two Edwardian half plate cameras I was given that started me on large format. I made a new back to take modern plastic dark slides then ended up making a few whole cameras, from 5x4 to 10x8. Welcome, dear visitor!

I shoot 4x5 and 8x10 inch sheet film. I buy film from freestylephoto.biz My enlarger handles up to 6x7cm. I use an Epson V850 to scan my 4x5 and 8x10 inch negatives. Welcome, dear visitor!
