The shops of Bd Beaumarchais are mainly sellers of photo stuff (but Lab Distribution, 22 bd Beaumarchais has some chemichals). The most prominent maybe Prophot ...

At least all panoramic cameras are the same but the new site don't emphasize on them. It could be convenient to open a new post "Fotoman is back" as the present title is confusing.

No : "la République est une et indivisible" (the Republic may not be split). But the Monster Outlet could be a good wariness.
Anyway, I hope that Ken wil be very pleased.

John, if you find a US-style plug in an accomodation here, I offer you the travel :
The Land Of Attila The Hun
or "printemps en Margeride"

The Caltar IIN is a twin of the Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-N, so I presume that the barrel of the rear cell is 42 mm in diameter - but it's better to wait for the advise of an owner.

As Chuck and Stuan mentionned it, if your chargers are marked "110-240V - 50-60Hz" they will operate in France, provided that you have the mechanical adaptor for the plugs, something like that :

Duplouich had his own design, the Verax (not your lens), that he presented to the International exhibition in Paris, 1900. But the jury made no special mention of that lens in his statement for the...

I found not more than that :
H. Duplouich was a collaborator to Edouard Lutz and followed him in 1896 as the owner of an optical firm founded by Berthaud in 1848. Duplouich specialized in...

I have in mind that Schneider stated (but where ?) that schneideritis affects the image in an objectionnable way when it covers 50% of the surface visible inside the cells. So, at that point the...

I presume that the numbers engraved inside the cap are 223/54 according to the Schneider's page dedicated to 47XL cap. It also clearly states that the diameter of the cap is 63 mm and not 63,5 mm...

It seems that it's a 80 cm telescopic rail but with longer upper parts. The lens looks really like a 1100 mm XLS; if it's focused at infinity, it gives a scale. The front function carrier is an...

The stingray touch is really cute. A matching pouch for Grafmatics could be great.

From a Nikon brochure

By the way, an exhibition of used photo stuff is hold in Daguerre's birthplace on the Sunday close to the 18th of November. It's today, at Cormeilles-en-Parisis.

Here is a photograph of a Nikon lensboard in the Technika-style wearing a notch to accomodate that kind of screw (red arrow). You will notice that the notch doesn't pass through the board to keep it...

I'm aware of various makers of #0 and #1 top hat lensboards (among them Wista and Ebony) but only saw Chinese non-brand in the #3 size. I baught one of them on this forum and since found a seller on...

Dear Horvath,
most if not all landscapes in France have been molded by man for agriculture or forestry. And the wild places (exemple Cirque de Gavarnie, aiguilles de Chamonix, gorges du Verdon)...

I love this thread. It's the only one to which I can add a consistant new post every year.
I'm 63 since a few days.

If you really want a 210SSXL for 8x10, buy also an excellent 72/75 ° 210 mm lens for your 4x5.
The handling of the 210SSXL is painful and somewhat dangerous for the lens, as you may let it fall (I...

For some weird logic :confused: , the postal address is in Besançon (the wide town) but the geographic settlement does is in Ecole-Valentin, which is close to Besançon.

Received perhaps some help from Cameraleather ?

According to the brochures that Kerry Thalmann kindly offers on his site, the rear diameter of the Fujinon 90 mm SWD f 5,6 is 80 mm.

I prefer the wire style, derivated from cardboard but more rigid. Here is the one sold by Ebony :

I haven't been happy with the Linhof...

I had the same thing with a Linhof baught for $$$ just the last year. But fortunately that premium brand designed the camera with a screw on the top to reverse it. As a serious photographer, i use it...

A recessed board will help (Sam, you are correct to have it in mind). I never used a Toyo/Omega D. Do they use a 158x158 mm square lensboard ? If they do, the recessed one are generously dug and you...

There is nothing like cane toad (special order)

I understand that you are used enough to LF to have a lensboard with the slot in the middle of the base to receive the "prong" (nota : Chamonix lensboards don't have this slot and it's a concern to...

From http://expositions.bnf.fr/atget/arret/03.htm (in French) : a 18x24 cm camera with a Rectilinear lens and glass plates.

<< Will the Toyo 810M or MII camera work well with a bag bellows and short ~120mm lens? >>
Yes, see the remark about the bed at the end.

<<Is it fiddly to adjust? By this I mean, does it easily...

It's well known that the circle of illumination of the 450 M is by far greater than the specs of Nikon. Checked on a 8x10, the iris is still fully round in the corners with 200 mm of rise at f32 ...

The '81 brochure on the Kerry Thalmann's site mentions 62mm

I also had a bad exeperience with Fuji film left unused in Toyo holders (the "bad smell" type). Colour change, loss of dynamic and multiple small see-through specks.

As soon as having seen the real thing, I will consider to parish. Possibly with a free opening 1,5x larger than a credit card and vibrations at the level of a Copal.

As a French citizen, I must strongly deny that :)
We are somewhat self-satisfied, but the meter was one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North pole.

Probably a 500 mm Nikkor telephoto. Its flange-to-focal distance is 350 mm, you could mount it on an extension lensboard to have some focusing range.
