  1. Re: Sinar Copal Shutter Cable Release Alternatives (and self cocking cable alternativ

    Old thread, I know, but I'm looking for a more reliable cable release than my original Sinar.
    It's grown rather cranky and only fires at a certain angle and distance.

  2. Re: Testing the differences of diffusion control with Verito rear element

    Of course, this is all academic since my dark secret is to have a good soft focus on my digital Hassy.

  3. Re: Testing the differences of diffusion control with Verito rear element

    There's only so much time in a day, portraits are so exhausting, I'd prefer still life or landscape... it's those genres that got me fired up in the first place.

    I must admit, there is so much...
  4. Re: Testing the differences of diffusion control with Verito rear element

    This short and rather simple sentence seems to "unpack" a great deal (IMHO) of difference in how the lens functions.

    Around 1920 (?) Verito lenses were redesigned and the new formulation offered...

    Re: Nikon Nikkor 90/4.5 vs 90/8

    I have owned and used both. Unless there is a need to see better (f/4.5), they perform the same. It's one reason the f/8 is generally more expensive than other slower lenses of the same focal lengths.

  7. Testing the differences of diffusion control with Verito rear element

    So, after years of ownership, I finally got around to to testing the differences between the configuration of both lens elements vs "rear only" on my 7.25" Verito.
    I was a little surprised to see...

  9. Current CLA prices for LG Format shutters?

    Re: Velostigmat Series II; Info and Images

    A couple of ideas to share. The lens aperture is a partner in the overall effect. I found (for me) that somewhere between f/5.6 and /8 was the limit of the desirable softness. I usually left mine at...

    I found a manual with a similar lens panel (don't known the published date), but it lists the 47xl lens. So I'm even more confused as to what I have.
