'Perhaps this passion is not such a good thing for messy business of disposing of equipment on Ebay or focussed discussions here?

Nah that's BS, plenty of folks have mentioned chargeback fraud and feedback extortion in their ads, so did I.
I've explained why I wrote it enough, If you're still offended so be it. I wrote...
To Gandolfi: Why don't you just quit reading my ad and my posts, cuz I'm not going to change the way I write.
You read my ad and saw what you wanted to see, I did refer to why I said what I said...
Another aside re: the comment about salting my ad w/my comparing the Kodak to the Pinkhams.
When you actually shoot w/these lenses, the one thing you learn is that they can change/exchange...
Here's 'Upon Reflection' w/this version from my Petzval w/the rear elements screwed away from each, and in this config I consider it definitely putting out the kind of softness as my other soft...
This is 'Upon Reflection'..............one version is the Kodak Portrait, the other version is the Pinkham Visual Quality IV #2..............Pick 'em
Regardless of whether you can pick which is...
I guess I'll be riding this out....
You've got this on the money Cowanw.....
I think I've tried hard to encourage folks to get into this very type of photograph, I've preached this kind of...
I'm not going to let this pass w/o a reply to another comment.
I'm not putting 'salt' in the game w/my comparing the Kodak Portrait lens to the Pinkham, I've said what I've said about the Kodak...
The first poster is mis-representing what I said in my ad for my 405mm Kodak Portrait lens, here's the first entries in my ad, and I'll point out that I was talking about lenses in general and not...
Hi Dr. Schmitt
I don't participate on this forum but I'll make this one comment and then disappear. I was the seller of the P&S Semi-Achromatic Ser. III and it's sale was legit, it sold for the...
Thank you Christopher, I appreciate it, I'll measure it this way and see what I get.
Well Frank, maybe we ought to keep you from getting your lens back, since you like to photograph old men, hopefully that'll keep you and Kirk Gittings from getting together.
Googling Jim Galli should give a bunch of links, also 'cameraeccentric' has old brochures with pictures and specs of these classic/brass/soft focus lenses.
Lens and Repro has a section...
Christopher...............let me see if I have this straight, replace the groundglass w/the front cell focused at infinity, with a piece of card(cardboard?) with a hole approx. 1/8 of an inch, place...
Actually I mis-spoke, the lens is in a Copal 3, so the question would be, can I divide the length I come up w/the lens focused at infinity by the width of the iris diaphragm to come up with an F...
I'm getting a usable image for what I plan on using this config for, when I mount the front cell of this lens on my 8x10, the front cell is sitting in front of my Ilex #5, with both cells on, the...
Thanks Paul
Will do...........I'm sorry to hear about you getting 'stuck', can you recoup some of your money back? I hope so.
Take care
Hey Paul what's up!!!!
I have an all black Tele-Arton 5.5-270(ser#12189746), and I've got it here in my hand, it DOESN'T have any engraving on the outside of the casing of the front cell,...
It's a 229mm lens, the specs refer to its construction as........... '4 elements in 2 air-spaced doublets'..................when I remove the rear cell, I get nothing with the lens on my 4x5, on an...
Assuming that by doing this, I get a usable image, is there a rule of thumb/formula for using the front cell only of a LF lens in terms of a different focal length from the lenses original...
This is a shot of my daughter Danielle, she's wearing an 'Isicholo' hat, it's a ceremonial hat worn by Zulu women, this particular hat was created by a Zulu women/artisan from the KwaZulu region...
Brian............Christopher..................One serious hassle I had was over the condition of a camera I got from an outfit, it was seriously jacked, so bad, that it was unusable, the folks I got...
'Out of curiosity... do you ever get buyers complaining about "excessive" shipping costs as a result of your double-boxing? I know it isn't going to cost all that much more but... people are funny...
Dan..........thanks, sorry to hear it.
OMT..............it's been a while, hopefully they're still in business, in terms of lens barrel shells, you might want to contact Goodwin Photo Inc., in San Diego to see what they've got, good luck.
Forgive me, memory's getting worse w/age, I forgot to mention that even if the accessory thread sizes don't match between junk lenses and a barrel shell that you'd like to mate together, it'll still...
Google the company called Optosigma located in Santa Ana, California, USA.....................they have anything optical you want, for instance they have bi-convex lenses from 5mm-100mm in diameter,...
I'm not getting involved in the 'fraud at ebay' thread, but I will contribute what I now do to avoid any problems when I'm either the sender or the receiver of any goods.
Right or wrong, it...

'You need to understand both.'..........................agreed. That's where exposure of just what some of these lenses can do comes into play. The Cooke PS945 can be used for portraiture and...

Yes will do, yes the prices for these lenses has gotten crazy, Arsenal a while back was trying to sell a soft focus/portrait lens for 5k. One lens that I consider to be in the same ballpard as the...
FTM Jim Galli's fine work w/the P&S, several images of which are uploaded here.
The Cooke has a modern coating, the P&S Visual quality IV #2 doesn't, I've got this lens set up along w/several of my other soft focus/portrait lenses to work w/the Ilex #5 shutter, S.K. Grimes...
I believe an Orange 21 carries a filter factor of x4(2 stops)............a light red 23 has a filter factor of x5(about 2 1/3 stops)................red 25 is x8(3 stops), usually the manufacterer of...
More knowledgeable folks will probably chime in later, it's clear from one of the thumbnails, this is a 14" not a 24", and it's the 'bi-quality', I have a remounted version of the 12" Visual Quality...
Forgive me I forgot to mention development, this test shot was exposed @ F5.6-1/30sec through an 89b, souped w/xtol for 14 minutes @70 degrees.
