Years Ago, A Photographer I Knew Used Fine Pumice Powder To Ground His
Glass. I Don't Think You Could Find Pumice In Powder Form Now. Has Anyone
Heard Of Using Pumice?
Joe A

Dan You Are Correct. Lots Of Miss Info On The The Craphic Here. I Find That
A Little Strange, For One Of The Most Famous Cameras Ever Made
Joe A

As Ari Points Out, You May Have One Made For The (rb) The Slr, #1168 There
Are Not As Many Of These As The 1268, So It Should Not Be Hard To Sell. If However It Is
The 1268 It Should Fit ...

Yes Dan It Is F.deckel. Btw The Fl Is I3.5 Cm Or 135mm.and Jim It Is 3 Element.

HI ,ALL I'VE HAD THIS LENS FOR 40 YEARS ON AN OLD B&J PRESS CAMERA THAT I NEVER
USED. I TRIED THE SEARCH HERE BUT NOTHING ON THIS LENS. IT'S IN A SHUTTER MARKED F DECKER-MUNCHEN IT'S A COMPUR. f...

I have four flash supermatics, and they all x sync when set at F with the lever uncocked.
The flash lever may be broken off. One of mine snapped off at the dial. A small piece
of #10 or 12 wire...

As Arkady said you must move the flash slide to F. use the bi-post adapter and your set to go. BTW, these are very good lenses. Yours, if I'm reading the sn# right is from
1956. Have fun. Joe A,

The little numbers are nice, if you want to take notes on your exposures.
A little practice and you'll get it down pat.

good luck Joe A

Having same problem with an old B&J PRESS. I had it just about perfect. But, horizontal
was off just a bit. I should have left it alone. But, of course I didn't. most have touched
or turned...

Phil I have what I think is a #4 Alphax (barrel threads 62 mm) overall 3 3/4". It also came with stuck shutter. I took glass off (15" wolly tele) then gave shutter a Ronsonal bath. This was about 7...

I Have 2 Of These The 22" And The 6 3/4. Not Light Weight, But Nearly Unbreakable. Have More Movements Than My Lenses Can Handle.

Luck Joe A

DAN, I think your correct. THE 170/6.3 IS DIALYT TYPE. I read that some where years
ago. I can't remember ever seeing one that was coated.

JOE A

thanks all for shearing your wisdom and expertise,regarding my question. Up until just over two years ago I didn't care how or why a lens did it's job. Then I stumbled, by chance on this forum. I...

Thanks all, guess I'm only half right. I thought symmetrical were the same front and back. Dan it's english. is my grammar that bad? I know my typing and spelling is.

Thanks again for the info

Thanks Paul,

that's one for me so far.

Hi all, this is for you glass gurus. I normally use a componon-s for flat art copy. But, last week I only had one piece to copy. Since I had a 203 ektar on a 4x5 crown. I though I would try it and...

Thanks To All For Your Input.i'm Going To Look For A Used One. But I Still Might Send This One Off Th Bogen. I Do Have Another Sbc, But It Was Scary How This One Died. Working One Minute And Then...

Thanks All, Your Correct Peter This Is Not A Diy Job. Jan It's Not A Stupid Question. I Did Stupid Things Like That, But Not This Time. I Just Found The Manual. Bogen Photo Corp.still Service These...

Hi All,
Has Any Of You Had Success In Having A Luna Pro Sbc Repaired. My Older One Just Stopped Working.the Battery Test Button Will Move Needle To Test Zone.so The Needle Can Move. When The...

I Had The Same Problem With A Longer Lens. As Time Went On It Got Worse.
The Same Could Happen To Your Shutter. I'm Not Saying It Will But It Could.
Perhaps You Should Return It.
Good Luck Joe A

The Flash Supermatics With The F&m Slide Sync Will Give You X Sync. And
Yes That Is A Solenoid. You Could (i Think) Have Your Shutter Set For X Sync.
Or As Brian Said Use Bulbs
Joe A

I Just Put A 203 Ektar In A Flat Board On A 2x3 Speed And Can Focus Down To
Exactly 2 Meters. I Didn't Think It Would Focus That Close. I'll Look For A Lens Not So Critical For Portraits.
Joe A

Athiril, That Is A Solenoid. The Shutter You Heed Is The Flash Suprematic With The F&m Flash Sync Slide Set At F For X Syinc. I Have Three Of These And They All Syinc X Flash When The Slide Is Set On...

Thanks Dan And Emmanuel, I Never Would Thought Of 35mm Ex Tubes. It Makes Sense As Long As You Don't Go To Long. Have To Go Through My Junk Box.
Thanks Again. Joe A

I Have Used A 203 Ektar With Flat Board On A 2x3 Pacemakre Speed With
Just A Little Extra Draw, Not Much Though. I Don't Know About The Crown
Or Century. Btw. What Are Ltm Tubes
Good Luck Joe A

The Older,longer Prontors Have A Full 1" Throw. They Are Nice Lenses.
Enjoy. Joe A

Mark Is Correct. Rodenstock Made, For A Short Time Some Optars For Graflex
The 135mm Was One Of Them. Ican't Remember The Other But Don't Think It Was The 203. It Don't Matter If The Lens Is That...

On My Supermatic There Is A Screw, I Just Removed It. But If Your's Is A Pin, Then Eds Idea Is Best Use A Spacing Washer. Btw The 152 Ektar Is A Nice Lens.
Good Luck Joe A

Yes You Got A Great Deal. If Your Going To Use B&w, You May Not Need A
Center Filter. Transparencies However,may Be Another Story. Try It And
See.the Dof Is Something Else On This Lens.have Fun.

I AGREE WITH C P, PICKED UP AN OLD PRONTO YESTERDAY AT A CAMERA SHOW 2$.

Thanks all for your input.
Joe A

If the Ektar 203 7.7 is of the Dialite design like the Goerz APO Artar,
would that make the
203 near APO? I''m not a glass guy so forgive me if this is
a stupid question.
Joe A

I Have Two Of Thes Lenses. One In A Dead Shutter, And One In A Good Working
Shutter. I Paid $100 For First One And I Think $80 Or $90 For The 2nd One.
