Thanks for the additional info, Neil. I appreciate it. It's a great lens that came with the Deardorff when I bought it but as a portrait photographer, I simply have no use for it. The plan is to sell...

Thanks Luis, not sure how I missed that when searching yesterday! Gives me an idea at least.

Cheers,

Dave

I have a large format lens that I am thinking of selling but don't really know what to ask. I know some forums frown upon asking for valuations, so I'm looking for advice on where to look. It is a...

A grist mill in Cades Cove, TN.

Tachihara 4x5, Geronar 150mm, Panatomic-X.

Killing two birds with one stone, this was a test of both my new to me Tachihara, and some 40 year old Panatomic-X I was given. 1/4sec @ F/22, film rated at 25ASA.

Sorry, Dan!

Yeah, I emailed him the day it was listed, but he didn't get back to me for a few days either. I honestly thought it had been sold, and then he called out of the blue. He said he had...

Thanks, these are great!

Yeah, I've had a lot of luck on Craigslist here. You get the great deals, and of course you also get the other end of the spectrum, like the $500 Nikon EM currently listed! The Tachihara is probably...

Thanks everyone for the info. Much appreciated! I'm looking forward to putting it through it's paces this weekend!

Here's a pic of the little bugger!

Exactly what I have in mind!

Thanks for all the info so far! I had read in various places about Tachihara not producing cameras any more. That'll teach me not to believe everything I read on the internet ;)

I really is a...

Hi all,

Yesterday I picked up a really nice Tachihara field camera for a ridiculously cheap price from a local Craigslist listing. I spent a couple of hours last night cleaning it all up,...

Thanks, Carver. Unfortunately I think you may be right about the springs being tired/worn. And thanks for the links Brian. I'll take a closer look when I get home to the shutter this evening. Either...

Thanks for the detailed reply Carver.

I have already cleaned and lubricated, so 1 and 2 are covered :) If anything needs replacing, then obviously this is not something I'll tackle myself. I've...

Thanks for your comments and, yes, I can't wait to try out this lens! Anyway, I just want to make sure there is nothing obviously misplaced, bent, damaged or even missing that may be easily fixed (I...

Hi all,

I recently bought a 14" Commercial Ektar in an Ilex No.5 Universal Synchro shutter and the shutter has a couple of issues. Before I send it off for repair I'd just like to see if there is...

Hi Bob,

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I was curious if you got the new bellows, and what quality and fit were like if you did. I managed to slap enough gasket goop on the bellows on my...

Thanks, Michael!

Although that link didn't address my exact problem, it did enable me to strip the holder down enough to be able to figure out what was going on and, hopefully, fix it.

Cheers,...

While I am a little disappointed in what I've seen of the new film so far, and the pricing, I went online today to order a pack to see for myself. However, when they added $11 to the cost for...

My Polaroid 545i back was working fine until recently and now I cannot get the clips to release the film envelope. This happens when the lever is in 'P' position, and when in 'L' with the release...

Anders, I agree, pretty amazing work! I love that film too!

Not sure if it qualifies as a flower, but it's all I had on hand last night while testing some expired Polaroid 55!

Thanks Sam!

My first attempt at 8x10. All things considered, I'm pretty pleased! About two minutes later the skies opened and I got drenched, but I still had a blast!

I believe he learned not to load colour film instead of black and white :D
