Thanks people. You set me straight. If I bought that I would have just another repair project on my hands. I already have a backlog of projects. Besides I think I'd rather have someting older like a...

Thanks people. You set me straight. If I bought that I would have just another repair project on my hands. I already have a backlog of projects. Besides I think I'd rather have someting older like a...
Thank you. Honestly I don't have the lens yet. Before I pull the trigger, I notice it also doesn't have the mounting ring. I bet finding another ring would make this lens a bad deal by the time I...
I have a Schneider 150/265 convertible Symmar Technika in Compur shutter. The shutter is missing its lensboard locating screw. The one that has a shoulder on it that sticks up to drop into a little...
As a final addendum on thee Luna Pros, here's one thing I've learned. On the low range in a room with only a 60 watt equivalent CFL bulb, or in a dimly lit daytime room with no lights on, the...
This project turned out exceptionally well. I'm convinced it is sturdy and operative. In retrospect there is one thing I would have done differently. The question being, can this brittle plastic...
Agreed. Although good luck finding hobby shops any more. Might have to go to Hobby Lobby, although last time I was there looking at hobby wood it was piddling poor pickings compared to what hobby...
It's been about 6 weeks when I did a little research and got an Ender 3, the plain basic one, open-box for about $150 maybe. Had never seen a 3D printer before. So I got busy studying Freecad. I...
There was a fellow on another site, I don't recall his handle, but lived up in NY State up there in Adirondacks somewhere I recall. Anyway he said he had been having success with using zinc-air cells...
No need. When I first started checking out the meter a few days ago, I noticed all the readings were about 1 stop over-exposed. And the battery check was about a quarter of the way up into the red...
Got it calibrated perfectly for 357 batteries that had some use on them and were down to about 1.45-1.47V. Since it has no voltage regulation, it will swing between about 1.3v when the batteries are...
Thank you Brian. Thr schematic is so small on screen I can't get a good look at it. But I am prone to take your word. The meter is off when the switch is in neutral, which is what I'd hoped. I just...
Thanks. I've already seen that. As far as I can see it says nothing about the "switch" being anything more than to un-trap the needle so it can swing for a reading. It gives no hint that it actually...
It's been years since I worked on the gray Luna Pros. I used to know everything about them. Now I can't remember the simplest thing. So here's my question: Does the meter switch turn the power on and...
I'm asking this question beause I've never used Kodafix. I've always been a Kodak Fixer fan. It works for everything. But now I see that Kodak Fixer is a good bit higher price than Kodafix...
I suppose there's printers and screen printers and any other kind out there still using rubylith. Maybe. When you say you have enough to last years, that's true if you want it to just be red and...
Well I'm going crazy searching the internet for a decent red LED that can be put inside this Nuarc. The reason I'm so insistent in wanting to use it is because it will be a last firewall against any...
Thank you for this link. If I understand it right, most common red LED's are 620nm and can fog paper. But apparently if the red is 660nm wavelength, then this is about as pure red (and safe) as a red...
Having been in the printing business all my life, I've become enamoured with the Nuarc Safelights as pictured. But they were made for litho film, which was highly tolerant of most any kind of red...
It only needs to work 1 time. But I am not good enough in FreeCad to design a 32.5 x .5 mm lens thread, And I can't find such a thread on the internet that I can download or "steal" and modify. And I...
Well, here's my cone I just finished printing for 135mm Schneider. I made it adjustable. Right now it's set to 4 1/4 inches long. Its 4 9/6" inside diameter. My buddy says the diameter of the...
Since my buddy 35 miles away has the lens and no mounting ring, all this is is an opportunity to play and learn for me. I'm about a month in on 3D printing and FreeCad, and now I've got for figure...
Can anybody tell me the mounting ring size and thread pitch on this enlarging lens? I don't seem to find any reliable information. They seem to have made several versions of 135 over the years. Thank...
Great Brian. Hope you are well. Thank you for your verifying input. My friend actually found a correct condenser set about an hour ago for $40. I feel better, as he first saw the enlarger at a flea...
Thank you. The question has been answered. This is the wrong condenser set for 4x5.
If anybody is interested I have successfully designed and 3D printed a part that does this modification that can be easily installed by the owner with no outside machine work. I did it based on this...
Since I started this thead 7 weeks ago, I hope enough reliable sources will still be engaged to help with an important question. Since it is a good buddy 40 miles away who is the owner, it was only...
Here's what I don't get. So, the story is Agfa went out of business. Then Adox acquired the rights to the formula. That implies exclusivity. So why would Rollei or anybody else be producing the EXACT...
I do not know about PQ. I have been making my Fuji HRT tests on Rodinal 1:100 and have found a decent procedure. I don't want to go through all that again by changing developer. Granted I have a jar...
Are you talking about StoneNYC?
Sept 9. That's not so far away. Except it never works out that way. First Sept 9 comes and goes, with no product.Theyn there is an "absolutely for sure date" of November maybe. Then November comes...
What's with the Rodinal? Everybody saying out of stock. Did it all dry up?
With the help of my Ender 3 and a Tombstone pizza box, my Premier 13" paper cutter, plus a little ingenuity, I just loaded 3 4x5 film holders with cut-down 8x10 Fuji HRT so I can get out there...
Well it's been 9 days since I put in my surveyor's tripod with Engineer Supply, apparently of Virginia, and haven't seen or heard hide nor hair of it. I think they threw me on some kind of back order...
It's been a few years since I was last pursuing this interest. Are you telling me that Fuji HRT is discontinued and replaced by HRU? What is the difference? I can go on the Fuji site and see both. I...
I thought I'd report back with preliminary results from today, based on just 2 sheets of film. This is not conclusive, obviously. I was an on-and-off stormy day. Nice puffy clouds and blue sky...
Thank you. I will start with that. I assume the EI 50 already takes into account the filter factor. I appreciate it.
This thread is the longest thread in internet history and I am lost for time to glean it for a few answers. I have a 7 or 8 year old box of Fuji HRT Green sensitive X ray fim and want to get busy on...
Thanks Drew and everybody. It's on the way. As for how I'll get the camera mounted on it, I'll cross that bridge when it gets here. I sure hope that top is flat. I'm depending on that for a few ideas...
Actually I can get by with the Tiltall, but I'd rather not. I have before, and that was when the camera still had it's rear L arm. I remember one time I had it set up out in the yard fully extended...
sorry. Accidental double post.
