I think Goslar is still pretty much the same. Since I have family in Braunschweig I'm sometimes there, but I would never leave the coast ... :-D

I got my v850 last year and have no complaints. The quality of the scans is quite impressive.

Well, as the film will create demand for processing, chemical companies will step up. Kodak introduced E-6 in 1976 and several manufacturers have...

Thanks, I'll check out his site and get in touch. Surprised to find out there are folks doing wet plate in Oklahoma that I don't know, it's a small...

Clear plastic storage boxes in a range of sizes works for me. I group equipment by format and type: slr, dslr, medium format, 4x5, tripod stuff,...

If you are printing with the paper on a vacuum wall, or with magnets, get some galvanized roof flashing. Comes in 4x8 sheets, and can be cut with tin...

If the ground glass/plastic is sub-par, I'd replace it. It will make all your lenses easier to focus and compose with. And a poor ground glass will...

I did not read all your links, but I remembered being confused by my link 7 years ago, when I bought a NOS RB 67 SD system. Brand new was going for...

No Leigh. What you're saying applies only to the on-axis center of the field. With longer focal length lenses relative to film or matching...

If the lens covers 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 inches (6x7 cm) at infinity, it will cover twice that at 1:1, so 4 1/5 x 5 1/2, and correspondingly larger at even...
