Hello:
I am building a camera and I require the film to flange distance at various distances for this lens. Any idea where I can get this information? If not, what is the best way to determine this?...

I apologize to those that I offended. I suppose I should be more careful. Sorry

AHH figured it out. There are some metal tabs on the inside holding the bellows in place. From inside the rear opening. Not glued in place.
Darcy

Anybody?

Hi I want to save the existing bellows.
thanks

Hi I am wanting to remove the bellows from the camera. Can anyone give me some info on how this is done with these cameras.

thanks,
Darcy

Consider the time to take to build one instead of buying one used. Although there is a certain enjoyment to making your own, the hours to get there can be many. Take it from someone that makes...

all good recommendations. thanks.

The bellows is constructed of the material from porters cameras. I guess nylon with rubber on the inside. black cloth on inside.

"there won't be another one exactly like it to be sold anytime soon"

Thats good!

Darcy

I think there should be a movie about me. I am serious. I will play him also. 20 mill is my asking price. ;-)
Darcy

There is something about unfolding my field camera with all its character and using it compared to my digital camera which is boring. So if there is a number of freaks out there like me.......

How can they say Schneideritis is not a defect when we never heard of nikonitis or fujinonitis or rodenstockitis?!!!

Do I see a class action?

This Schneider lens is warranted by Schneider Optics, Inc. (Schneider) to be free of defects in material and workmanship as long as it is owned by the consumer purchaser named on the warranty...

I believe that someone called them on the lifetime warranty on one of their Schneider lenses with Sneideritis and they repaired it.
