I'd love to hear how that went - I've got a Technika III with an unknown 135mm cam, and a Nikkor-W 135mm lens. It's close, but needs work. Well, that, and the rangefinder really could stand to be rebuilt....

I have only one (150mm Symmar) cammed lens for my Technika IV. I have recently cammed a lens for my a Technika 70, and I plan to get more lenses working for it. Basically what you need to do is get an old cam for your focal length on ebay and then file it down to match your lens. It is a slow process but it is not that hard to do. Once I get round to it I will start a thread explaining what I did. If you are lucky you could get a cam that already comes close to matching your lens.

I need to get my Technika cams figured out too, hand-held 4x5 is lots of fun.

This wasn't hand-held though:

One of my main goals for 2012 is to shoot a lot more Large Format. Primarily 4x5, but also some more 8x10 (if the opportunity presented itself I'd shoot other formats). I've finally gotten things setup so I can develop and print my own 4x5 B&W photo's (I picked up a nice enlarger last year). I also want to shoot some 4x5 Tintypes this year.

There is no substitute for a giant piece of film at all. I've become good friends with 4x5in:

Twice Bitten, Not Shy

(1950s convertible Symmar 150mm at f/5.6, ~1:1 mag, Ilford HP5+ @ ISO1600, Linhof Technika V, 12x16in darkroom print)

Snowbells

(Schneider APO-Symmar 150mm at f/5.6, ~1:1.5 mag, Ilford HP5+, Linhof Technika V, 12x16in darkroom print)​

philosomatographer - Those are two really beautiful shots! The top one at 1600 is so great. I didn't know HP5 would push that well. I used to think Tri-X pushed better. I need to rethink that.

I really laugh when people make claims (such as in a thread I read recently in the Digital Leica M sub-forum) that a print from a 10MP Leica M8 or a 18MP Leica M9 "looks as good, or better than, large format".​

They do. As web images.

My first portrait with the Tachihara. I used front tilt to only keep the eyes in focus. 210mm f5.6 1/2 second exposure. Fuji fp100b45.

My very first wet plate collodion ambrotype 4x5. Struggling a lot with the process (peeling, streaks, and the like), but I guess that's the point. It's not digital, and it's tough, which is a good thing.

Anyway, lots to learn, and this process will only get better, I'm sure. Gotta walk first, so here it goes...
