Questions about my new 454
|
I just got a miniportrait 454 with a 4x5 back and I have two questions.
1) There doesn't seem to be any control to make 4 separate pictures at different times. Am I just supposed to cover the lenses except the one I want to be exposed or is there a better way?
2) is there a way to buy a different back and use 100 type film with this that will not cut off the image?
Anyone else out there have this camera and can give me some pointers?
Thanks for considering my quandries...

1. I cover them (I have a 402)
2. Don't know the answer to this one, I have 2 backs and both of them take type 100 film

Lance i think with this model you used to get caps to cover the lens's.
heres a link that might lead to a manual

Lance i just saw one on ebay with 3 caps on the lens's so that must be the only way to do it.
I have a 484, its kind of cool as it has a knob in the middle of the four lens's that you just turn to take individual shots ;)

I have a 454 and a 405 back for type 100 film.
The back fits perfectly, but the image area is far to small.
Instead if four equal images you get two smaller and two bigger images. All four are cropped on the outside (the long side / vertical side in portrait orientation).
You can see this on this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/amyhinson/2555476743/
I have also an 545 slide film back, which fits perfectly also in terms of image size. I suggest the 550 4x5 inch pack film back should fit as well.
