Part of the solution depends on your camera -- size, etc. Levels run from tiny to large, and some just might not fit. Then your options can be one level or two or three -- depends on your available...

So a P45+ isn't anything close to 4x5, right? Maybe they should have named it the P45-.
I'm no fly fishing expert, but I assume photographing flies on 4x5" would generally be in the realm of 5X. Am I in the ball park or way off base?
That looks like a very good deal. Make sure you ask the seller about maximum bellows. Tachihara made lots of different versions with some differences -- like amount of bellows extension --...
All good advise. Much depends on how & where you plan on using it. The other item is that all the other 8x10 gear -- lenses, film, etc. -- do not have "4x5" prices either. Not even the tripod!!!
It's the same as reversing the lens, which lots of macro lenses recommend doing once you pass 1:1. If the lens has a symmetrical design, reversal is irrelevant.
I can't speak to the 120mm coverage at infinity, but there are lots of macro/process lenses designed for large format cameras that don't cover 4x5 at infinity -- because that's not what they were...
I suspect it's probably in some Nikon literature somewhere, but most of the lenses I've seen that are designed for !:! are considered to be optimal in the 1:5 to 5:1 range. Either way, it's quite a...
My Fujinon A 180mm f9 only gets me to 1X on my 4x5 camera (360mm of extension). If I want a greater magnification, I use a shorter focal length macro -- in my case a Minolta 100mm f4 Auto Bellows...
I agree -- see Post #17. "Might" is the key word. On 4x5" film, that shot of the rose (above) is at least 1X and on larger formats it's even higher. But in photography, "fine" is difficult to...
Macro lenses have flat fields, but they also have better resolution, less aberration, at high magnifications.
Since you asked -- What do you think is the ideal sink size (and type of sink, ceramic, stainless, etc.) for this particular setup, and is it feasible? -- I assume that the existing sink can be...
Your lenses is a "W" lens, not a "W S" lens.
Fujinon boxes and lenses are well-known to have different lettering. For example, the NW lenses are marked "W" on the lens and "NWS" on the box.
...
I'll agree that Fuji's designation has its problems -- but, if "S" doesn't mean "series" on that lens list, what does it mean? It certainly doesn't mean "Seiko", because those lens came in Copal...
Thanks but those "WS" lenses are really "W" lenses, not "W S" lenses. The "S" in the "WS" lenses means "series", just as it does in the "NWS" lenses. Same with "AS", "SWS", "SWDS", "NSWS", etc. ...
Thanks, I've looked through those JPG archives. I might have missed it, but I don't see anything specific to the W S lenses. The problem seems to be a lack of material on the early FUJINON years. ...
I know it's a long shot, but has anyone run across any Fuji literature on the W S series of lenses?
That's GREAT information. I've never seen that in any of the Fuji literature (which can be hard to find, and has known errors), but it explains the mystery of the mid-range Fujinon W & W S lenses.
The extra short, wide-angle lenses typically have longer flange focal lengths which helps avoid the need for a recessed board. I use a Fujinon 65mm f5.6 (FFL = 74mm) on a flat board. I have no...
The 180mm always came in a #1 shutter, and as mentioned in post #14:
And since W S lenses appeared in Copal shutters from 180mm (#1) up to 360mm (#3), the "S" can't refer to "Seiko".
Thanks for mentioning this. I've never seen anything about any Fujinon lenses in #2 shutters. It makes me wonder if these were made for a specific market (possible?) -- or simply replaced shutters...
Most importantly, for macro work, you should get a lens designed for high magnification. The Schneider 210mm isn't. And, as mentioned, shorter focal length MACRO lenses can cover LF film if given...
Your statement -- "WS : S = Seiko." -- is too broad, as I pointed out. Only the short W S lenses were sold with Seiko shutters. The longer length W S lenses were sold with Copal shutters -- and...
There doesn't appear to be a hard line. The "middle" focal lengths have shown up with both Seiko and Copal shutters -- probably a gradual shift over time for each focal length. The part that I'm...
Good guess, but the longer focal length W S lenses only came in Copal shutters -- just like the W lenses. The shorter focal length W and W S lenses were the ones that were provided with Seiko...
The NW 180mm lens is a different lens design from the W & W S 180mm lenses (6/6 vs 6/4), that explains the difference in !C (76° vs 80°) between them.
But the question is the difference in the IC...
This is interesting because there was the 180mm W f5.6 and the 180mm W S f5.6. There's lots of literature about the W series, but not about the W S series, but they appeared at the same time. The...
Yet another photographic opportunity.

Urine normally has very low levels of bacteria, and a PH close to 7. It's not as bad as many assume.
Urine is usually very close to PH 7 -- unless this mouse has a kidney disease. Why do you assume it is acidic? Coincidentally, I tested mine last week and it was 6.8. You probably don't have to...
I'd worry less about the brand name, and find a lens that meets your needs -- that will be hard enough to figure out. Even then you'll have choices to make. Fuji alone made almost a dozen 150mm...
Most of my metal frames are 5/16" -- just over 1/4". I don't consider either of those "thin". Someone probably makes a 1/8" frame -- maybe even thinner. That's what I'd call thin.
A Seal 500T would do it, but they don't grow on trees. To avoid the inevitable seams, is a single 34" print out of the question?
Fujinon made lots of 250mm and 300mm lenses -- old style (barrel) or new (Copal) -- some inexpensive:

So the only "ventilation" into the darkroom is when the "window" air conditioner is ON? If so, that needs some explanation. That's not going to get air in -- or fumes out.
You need to tell us what this means. Is the "ventilation" filtered or not? That will make a big difference. How much "ventilation" / air flow is there. We aren't there. What, if anything, can...
Even though some enlarging lenses are multi-coated, it's more of a sales gimmick than anything else -- but sometimes enlarging lenses are used outside the darkroom, so why not?
I don't see any transposition.
Does it look like this monster?

I appreciate the sentiment -- what my soul wants to create in a photograph is what I saw -- a marvelous panoramic sunset. But getting it to be a 3x8-foot print on my wall means cropping and...
