You gotta love 'em. Every time I am about to write these guys off as being too expensive or too slow, they surprise me. I talked to Adam on the phone about a job I needed done and he gave me a...

Pelican 1650. Best case I ever bought.

I used to own the 300mm f3.5. Super heavy. Used it on my Home Portrait Graflex. Reasonably sharp wide open, really beautiful falloff.

I emailed the seller and he emailed some sample pix. It's pretty fucking cool. The highlights have a dreaminess to them, but things still look sharp. Hopefully, Lens and Repro won't outbid me again.

Anybody know anything about this lens? I am looking for a good soft-focus type lens, and I can't find any info about the Dallmeyer Meniscus Lens...

Hey,

They must have someone new making their boards. The last time I bought one (about a year ag) it just came in a plastic baggy with no instructions. It fit right in.

I've bought two of them from MPEX and never had a problem with my KMV. What exactly is the problem?

Old projection lenses from magic lanterns.

How about Texas? The weather is a lot better during the spring and the landscape is something else. How about Houston? Hotels are cheap and so is the beer....

Thanks!!

Does anyone know what size filter thread the 210mm Heliar has?

The guys you see selling the positives or negatives only on ebay are scumbags who are hoping you don't read the ads too closely and jump the gun and use the "Buy It Now" feature. They are using the...

Anybody know where I can get Rosco filters?

Calumet. I saw some in their San Fran store this past Friday.

Plus, I'm sorry for spelling your name incorrectly,Tracy!!

Tracey,

I wasn't trying to be a buzzkill about the project. But since boxes of their regular 8x10 film are now way over 200 bucks (I paid $235 for a box of 809 yesterday at Calumet), I can't...

I would be in for quite a few boxes, although I estimate the cost per 15 sheet box would be over 250 bucks.....

Calumet in LA has Provia in stock and EPP as well as a bunch of boxes of 8x10 Velvia 50 for 300 bucks. What else do you need?

In regards to who will survive in the MF back game, I would have to disagree with the poster above. Right now, Hasselblad is incredibly shaky and many in the business doubt it's short term survival....

I only wish they were offering HP5 in 3 1/4 x 4 1/4!

It also says "No refunds" on their info page. Does that mean if I prepay and the order never comes to fruition that I'm out my money?

In speaking with one of their salespeople, I found out some interesting things. While Calumet still is committed to film, it is impossible to overestimate how much of their business now comes from...

I had the absolute opposite experience with Calumet in San Francisco. I went in last week and had a great experience. They had a ton of digital gear, along with a ton of film and chemicals. They had...

They are still in Calumet's catalog. So you can still buy them brand new.

That was quick! Thanks. I found some info in an old "New Pictorialist" book I have. It touts the 180mm version, but I 've never known anyone to shoot with one.

Have never heard of this one.

Just read on another forum (and subsequently Polaroid's website) that type 665 is no more and will be lost to us forever during the first quarter of next year.

M

Shit yeah, how much per box?

I have heard alot about this lens, but have never seen any shots from it. I was wondering if any users of this lens would be so kind as to post some shots? I am especially interested in pictures shot...

8x10,5x7,4x5: Fujinon 250mm f6.7. Still the best lens I have ever used.

That's awesome. Next time I am in China, I am going to try to get an ULF for myself. I am sure the guy selling them on ebay is bumping up the price by 100%. It helps that I speak chinese.

No, they don't seem to fit my masterview.

Sorry, I'm not very technically minded, I'm just a beginner. Color RA-4 prints.

Where I work, I see the very best that inkjets have to offer, as well as the best silver and ra-4 prints. The ink jet prints always seem to be lacking to me. While they definitely have the sharpness...

I had Four Designs convert a 110b for me many years ago. I ended up converting it to a 4x5 for my own use (through much trial and error on my part). I hope Littman doesn't sue me.

I'm surprised ebay allows these kinds of listings. One is just an advert and the other is a veiled threat.

2 minutes is along time. I compose through the gg, then start slamming in the holders. I know what my dof is and work within it. Waiting too long, the models lose their liveliness. The pictures...

Thanks for the comments. It is indeed in a Copal 3 shutter, mint and all shutter speeds accurate. I will probably pick itup. I was just hoping to see some sample shots done with it. It's pretty...

Someone has offered me this lens in mint condition for $200, and I would love to see any sample shots made with it. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of user feedback about this lens on the net...

Anybody using this lens? I have the opportunity to buy one, but they don't seem that popular here in the US, so I am having trouble finding feedback from people who have shot with it, or sample...
