Do any of you have any experience with the Gowlandflex 4x5 TLR? I have what is probably the original version --- made from plywood covered with black...
Hi there- I'm sure you want to do the work yourself, but Gowland still offers parts, repair, & restoration it seems. I'm not sure how much info they'd provide...
Gowland came up for discussion on the Large Format forum within the last week. He is no longer actively producing cameras, but he is very much alive and has...
Hi all, Some of you have more informations about rumours about a probably EPSON photo printer 4900 to replace the actual 4880 ? Thanks for any advice. Michel...

Perhaps it was another list, but I thought Mr. Gowland was on this list at one time. Either way I've heard he's a very nice guy. Let us know what you find out....
I have shot a roll of HIE 135-36 infrared film witch was in my fridge for a while. A big while it seems because this type of film was discontinued from Kodak...
There's an IR filter on digital cameras to blockout the IR range of light that digital sensors are also sensitive to. You could practise with a webcam to...
Hi, Daniel I have converted a Nikon coolpix 950 to infrared (near IR) What the procedure involves is removing the hotfilter from the camera and replacing it...
Hi, Daniel I responded on what I thought was the group post, and did not see my post, so here it is again, hope it helps. One way is to use the Hoya IR filter,...
Hello Jack Your information where very much appreciated. And also by the fact that you did your own conversion. I would like to try myself if it is not too...

"easy", eh??! I'm not sure it would feel that way the first time! Where did you get the new IR filter? LifePixel.com? I'm considering converting my Canon 5D...

Myron - I did not get the filter from LifePixel. I spoke with them and they refused to give out the dimension of the filter. I ended up ordering a custom...
Tai Would it have been possible to leave out the internal filter and use an external IR filter in front of the lens, which would also correct the autofocus? Is...
I believe that a filter between the lens and the film (or CCD sensor) will result in a different focus from a filter in front of the lens. Most lenses are not...
On lifepixel web site : “http://lifepixel.com/digital-infrared/faq.html#Whichdigitalcamerasdoyoumodifytoinfrared What exactly do you do to the camera? ...
Frank, There are some similarities between the Panasonic L1 and the Oly E330, including I believe, live view. Leaving the internal filter out and using an...
WHOOPS.... I just read Ken's post. He is correct. IR focus will be a tad soft. The IR needs to be behind the lens glass as originally stated. I knew there...
Hi, Y'all, Referencing the Nikon Coolpix 950 I used, leaving out the hotfilter caused some significant focus issues, I replaced the filter with a piece of...
This message and many preceding it are nothing to do with camera making. You would all be better off in the 'Camerahackers' group and leave this space to...
I understand, your concern and sorry to have interrupted a passion of you guys. But none of the less, you will agree with me that here is a limit to "make" a...
While the cameramaking I am interested in does not involve electronics, I certainly feel that the techniques described would be useful for cameramaking. ...

Regarding the digital IR discussion, I'll raise my hand as being perfectly fine with it (something I'd like to do too). I gotta join *another* group to discuss...
Sorry all, here is some more info. I certainly am not a physicist, but I like to tinker. With the IR filter removed and an IR filter on the lens autofocus ...

Let me suggest that you not thread the tripod directly into the base of the camera body itself, but rather, drill and thread the camera base for a 3/8" OD...
