I knew Will for many years, visited him at his house in North Carolina several times. He sure did like the mountains. I had not talked with him for a while.
He made really good coffee.
Bye Will......

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I checked on the film you mention that has the anti-halation backing. I found a seller and can buy some, although its sold in a case of 5 boxes so kind...

Is xray duplicating film single side emulsion and about the same speed as photo paper? I have made many enlarged negative on photo paper. If duplicating film would act about like paper but without...

Do you think this softness issue is still the same if I'm enlarging from a regular (non xray film) negative?

I just love this quote, such a wise point of view.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the weight of the 8x10 Kodak Commercial view camera - this is the metal one that looks like a 2D

I thought maybe is was getting a little harder.
Thank you for all the good information - I appreciate it.

Hi,
Are folks finding X-Ray film to easy to get? I noticed on the auction site and Google that I don't see as many places to buy it as I did at one time.
Gotta a good place?
Thanks,
Robert

It's not there any more :)
Robert

Yes, that was the only information I could find on the forum.
Good to know that you liked it.
Wish the pictures were still up with that old ad.
thanks!

Thanks for that link.
Lightweight is good, frail or spindly isn't. Not having handled one....anyone.
Thanks !

I did a search on here and found an old for sale reference but that was it.
Anyone here ever used or even handled one so you can tell me about it?
Thank you!
Robert N.

It does indeed look like you know what you're doing.
Nice image!

I wasn't looking for exactly a compact lightweight camera but I was slightly taken back by the apparent large size of the Gandolfi. Chamonix doesn't float my boat. I have now noticed that the...

Hi,
I've been looking at the specs on the Gandolfi 4x5 Variant Level 1 and I can't really believe what I've seen. It is listed in some places as being around 10x10 inches 250x250mm and almost 6...

Quite a few years ago I took notice of this aspect of vintage images, a softer contrast in the background. Many of the examples that I saw were of images made outside. I had wondered if the blue...

Sorry to be the one to say this but a medium format digital back will cost more then the $5000 that the OP said was his budget - even a used one. Yes, you can find a very old one that requires being...

Maybe someone out there who has a 4x5 Technika III can look at their ground glass and notice if it has a fresnel and see if its on the lens side or viewer side of the ground glass. BTW, this is the...

I don't know if I sent them my parts if they would work on it or not, being the age that it is and them new to Linhof.

Seems like I've heard that the thickness of the glass is critical in a Linhof don't know for sure. This tech III has two flat springs that push the glass up against two flat metal bars that are held...

Hi,
I recently got that pretty Technika III that was for sale here on the forum. I got it today and see that the ground glass is not the right one and is not installed correctly. It is just enough...

Good for Martin but he will be missed.

Maybe just a little bit of a "wise guy" answer there Rich.
I know, I know, nobody can say for sure. Just getting tired of worrying about it.

But, is film going to be around for a few more years???
That's all I want to know.

Really looking forward to my recently announced 6x12 with "crappy" lens. Hey Frank, its not made from "toothpick wood" like those other cameras that you don't like.

I am reading this post because I'm just starting out using the computer to enlarge negs. Holy crap I've got a lot to learn. 40 years of darkroom experience shot to hell.

The confusion is that when I looked at that page a couple of years ago I believe the specs said that the previous version was 3900g. So if you add the 1000g for the improvements it would make the...

Got mine yesterday, teak and gunmetal gray. WOW!! What a great little camera.

Thanks Doremus for explaining that. It is most helpful!

What I was wondering about was...
I have an older plain and dim ground glass. If I replace the old groundglass and put in a Yanke screen, will my focus then be off.
