    Re: Black & White – a natural progression?

    As with many others, I started shooting B&W with 35mm way back when. Then, I started to shoot color and, finally, B&W again. (I guess it was a "mid-life, back to my roots" kind of thing.) Anyway, a...

    Wow! I can't begin to imagine where your head must be! I guess the only upside is that 2008 has to be better!

    Ha! Exacto-mundo. Unless you're shooting Type 55 for the negs, it kinda defeats the whole purpose of shooting 'Roids in the first place.

    Re: who do you use for shutter repair?

    It's beginning to sound like a variation of the age-old adage:

    1. Quality work
    2. Inexpensive price
    3. Fast turnaround

    Pick any two.

    If Carol can't turn it around quickly enough for you,...

    Re: Best way to restore leather bellows?

    Why not use a regular ol' penetrating leather dye... like shoe dye? Clean the leather first, then dye it, then apply a leather conditioner like Lexol.

    IIRC, Heliopan filters are either .5 or .75mm. I don't believe they make a filter with a 1mm thread.

    Re: Swapping shutters.

    All other things being equal, the 90mm should need "about" 1.5 times as much light in the 72mm lens's shutter.

    f/8 on a 72mm lens corresponds to a 9mm diameter aperture. The area of that opening...
  20. Re: Your right to take photographs is in v. serious danger

  21. Re: Your right to take photographs is in v. serious danger

    I disagree. You don't have to paint and wave a banner. There are other ways to express whatever it is.

    Don't get me started. :mad:
  23. Re: Your right to take photographs is in v. serious danger

    There are many ways to express something and not all are acceptable in all circumstances.

    I don't think it's a simplistic "black and white... all or nothing" issue.

    Weren't Canon, Nikon, Pentax, etc. hawking their multi-coated lenses much earlier? I seem to remember coatings on 35mm camera lenses from late 60's.

    That's to be expected.




    In the U.S., two sources come to mind: Western Bellows (Etiwanda, CA Tel. 909-980-0606) and Turner Bellows. Either should be able to give you ballpark estimate.

    Interesting. And, apparently, they're no longer doing so. Catch-22.
