@Jpncamerahunter You’re clearly wrong there mate, who else would do butt dials in our group? It’s always good when we get to see your slightly confused face 😘
@letmestayon No problem, although the cutout that it fits into on the rear door is the same size as the box tab from your film, so is also used for that.
@letmestayon Sorry for the confusion, I clearly need more coffee! There is an early version of the 90/5.6 lens that has a 60mm diameter rear element (that will fit on my cameras) but I haven't seen many of those around.

@letmestayon The issue is the diameter of the rear element on the lens rather than the camera itself. The largest helicoids I can source have a 72mm internal diameter but the Schneider lens has an 86mm diameter rear element so it can't physically fit.
@letmestayon As with all large format/ground glass focused cameras, the glass should be shaded with a dark cloth/tshirt/jacket to give a brighter image
@letmestayon The camera in my video has a 75mm f5.6 lens mounted, with the aperture wide open. The camera was also inside a dark workshop pointing out at a bright scene outside.
@FredBertsDay Hi. It did post ok, I replied with the link to my standard 4x5 wet plate holder 👍🏻 I’ve got the holder built up and ready to ship for you whenever you’re ready
Had a 20 minute walk at lunchtime shooting Kentmere 400 in the #ChromaClick. It's a really nice size and feels way more durable than my Holga. The position of the shutter release makes one-handed shooting a doddle and of course #DoubleGlass means no worrying about focus.
