Marko,
very nice lens you built, however the effect does not look like Adjustable.

I am thinking of buying Davis & Sanford SH 200S head for 8x10 camera. It seems quite solid but from looking and the picture and description on B&H site it is not clear to me if the head moves in all...
I bought an old Burke and James 8x10 which screams for new bellows. The new bellows turned out to be quite expensive, of course I did not ask about the prices before I got this camera - silly me. I...
Rafael,
I do not get your line of reasoning. If I order the bellows form Camera Bellows or from Turner I am also ordering from a company which supports LF - right? All of those support LF, could you...
Well, certainly is not a Phillips, not even a Deardorff. It is a humble Burke and James.
Thanks to all,
Jan
Hello,
I bought an 8x10 which needs new bellows. I know of Camera Bellows in England and I will also inquire Mark Kapono but I am wondering if there are any other options out there,
best regards,...
Here is a bristle cone pine three taken near Cedar City, UT and juniper threes near Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP, UT. Both images made with Symmar-S. Bristle cone pine printed as a kallitype and junipers...
Thank you very much. I will order a small box of 4x5 then and do BTZS tests on it,
best regards,

I wonder if anyone used Arista Edu Ultra film for AZO, POP or Pt/Pd printing. I just upgraded form 5x7 to 8x10 and I feel forced to look for cheaper film. I am mostly printing on AZO and POP and I...
Just my one cent about web page with Exchange photographs. I think we should wait until everyone receives the prints. Good part of the fun is that you do not know what to expect.
cheers,

The prints arrived! My wife and I drove right after the work to pick up the prints at the office before they close and only then to Trader Joe's for dinner shopping. We quickly went through prints at...
Mark, thank you for checking this. Too bad that there was nothing there.
big_ben_blue: it seems your lens was made by the same company as mine. Mine was actually advertised on e-bay as paperweight...
I also have a subscription. I do like the magazine and I think it often has interesting articles, like Sandy's article on new T-Max film in the recent issues. I do not have problems with errors that...
I got myself a new old lens on e-bay. It arrived yesterday. The engravings on the brass read Standard Optical Co., Standard Symmetrical f6.8, Newark NJ, 8x10, Equi. 12 1/2. As suggested the lens...
Hello all,
I keep my negatives in Print File archival preserves that are kept in Beseler folders, however I do keep the notes on the negatives in between the Print File sheets. The notes are printed...
Welllll, hmmmm, yes. You never know how many traces you leave behind in the net :)
This is from our honeymoon trip:)

Don, how do you know my gender?

Hello everyone,
I printed my images and they are going to Darr tomorrow. That was my first image I printed in more then three copies. I only make very limited editions, you know :)
Darr - thank...
I agree that 12 would be a good upper limit but I would also not go below 9-10.
And Darr - thank you very much for organizing this.
best wishes,
Jan
March 1st sounds good to me as long as we know how many prints we need to make by next week - what do you think? But may be we need to allow more time as Ole might need more.
Jan
I would suggest a little longer time allowance for printing. More three-four then two-three weeks. For instance, I can only print on weekends and it might be hard for me get everything done in two...
Opps - I did not read carefully. I understand that I can print 5x7 negative as long as it is printed on 8x10 paper - right? If so - I am in. Would the smaller print matted on 8x10 or 11x14 count ?:)...
It would be nice to allow smaller formats too. I use 4x5 and 5x7 and only contact print. Here I am excluded. I agree that 4x5s may be too small for many of us but why do not we allow 5x7?
regards,...
Emmanuel, thank you very much. I was thinking of permanent display, I would like to frame this image and have it hanging on my wall. May be a little light box behind? I do not know. Anyway, I will...
Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right place but someone might know and help. I came across really wonderful autochrome image that I would like to buy. I am not sure, though, how autochrome...
I eventually decided to mail the front standard to Carol Flufot for cleaning. Just received it back yesterday. In case someone else has similar problem Carol did wonderful job.

Jason,
this is the knob. Also in my F2 it is sometimes hard to move.
Jan
Thanks a lot. I will try to take it apart - keep your fingers crossed, please. I am pretty good in taking things apart but not as good in re-assembling them :(
Jan
Hello,
I am just back from vaccation in Norther California and Oregon Coast. It was really great except ... It was kind of windy when I was photographing in Shore Acres SP and some sand got into...
I am just back from vaccation and just downloaded PDF - looks really GREAT! Thanks a lot Cyrus and Frank!
When I saw how good the book looks like I started to think that may be we could publish and...
Thank you, Merg. Great story!
Jan
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. You are so helpfull!
cheers,

I just received the Symmar-S 360mm which is missing front lens cap. It is quite large lens, the front element is sort of dinner plate size. The diameter for push-on type cap would be 125 mm whereas...
Bruce at photobackpacker.com can make custom "camera enclosure" for any camera and any backpack. He made the enclosure for my Sinar F2. It fits well into The North Face Oryx backpack. I carry the F2,...
Stefan,
I had the F2 and I can only second the advise of getting Sinar Pan and Tilr head. I was trying Manfrotto head (can't recall which one now, the one with rectanglular QR plates) and the plates...
Thanks a lot,
Jan
Thanks a lot,
Eric, I will PM you for some more information when I am more decided if you do not mind. This would be of gret help.
I am going to travel right in the begining of September. Most...
I am planing a two weeks trip to Alaska in September. I think I feel a bit lost in so many options it gives so I am asking some suggestions. Maybe there are some other places much more interesting...
Hi,
Sandy was right, tripods are (or were three years ago) permitted in many churches and the light is quite harsh during the day. On the other hand it is quite busy town and most of the interesting...
Bob,
thank you for this post. I bought this tank some two years ago. It was brand new, not the demo. After contacting Adorama customer service I called HP Marketing and I got this missing part. I...
