how on earth am i supposed to get a cable release into this thing. the original extender is missing and the flexible cable release extensions don’t seem to made anymore…

Is that one of the Hasselblad V zooms?

Yeah!

the ground glass is *so* bright with this thing

imo software is just a like a darkroom and there's nothing stopping you printing colour film on b&w paper

sekonic l-508 is an absolute banger of a light meter

Good point about the bellows. I have the lens on a recessed board but the bellows draw is still quite short. I believe bag bellows are available for my Shen Hao.

Apparently these things weigh 4 (four) kilograms

Was also considering that. The Fuji is probably heavier anyway? And I can also do 6x12 and whatnot.

I just picked up a Super-Angulon 90mm f/5.6 today too; that would be a perfect focal length for a 6x9 or 6x12 rollfilm back.

Custom lens board for this arrived, and everything fits! Just need to get some bolts to fix it to the lens board

Not my best photos, but here are a couple. The lens vignettes slightly as it wasn’t designed for full-frame.
