I don't have an answer here, but in thinking about it I thought of a word (which may not be novel, but was independently thought up).
"ReBay" - a verb meaning to resell this sort of error. Like...
There was a long thread on this topic right after the announcement, on the other lf forum.
Kodak faces the "free cash flow problem." They have a highly profitable product, film, that is in a...

Gowland Aerial 4x5 for $305.

Does anyone know what this is? Size? Brand?
TIA
Thanks Jim - something like this?

I spoke with Adam at Grimes. The Copal option will cost $550, if they supply the shutter. If I supply a shutter, it will be $250 - $300 to do the machining. Gotta admit, it seems a little pricey...
Thanks Kevin. The set I have is much like a Hugo Meyer set on the Grimes site. They recommend the Copal 1 then the Ilex 3 (Good job!) I will look for an Ilex. Since I will use the lens mostly on...
I am thinking of having a casket set put into a shutter and wanted to avoid buying a new Copal. What do people think is the ranking of used choices, in the Copal #1 ish size?
TIA
www.mircotools.com is just a "search" site, as far as I can see.
Okay, this one has been bugging me for a while. LF is said to have relatively little depth of field, compared to 35mm, for example. If I cropped a 24mm x 36mm section from the middle of a 4x5...
The Copal 3 is just too big - any other lenses in a smaller shutter?
John
I hope you aren't jackin' the new guy - is this a compact setup?
Hello,
Aside from the 450mm Fujinon C, are there any reasonably lightweight and compact, non-telephoto lenses in this range? This can include non-current offerings.
TIA
FYI - Marmite is a wretched-tasting English concontion of vinegar and shoe polish. A small olive jar will yield a similar cap without enduring the same horrors.
Nice buy, by the way.
I have a similar camera - A Feurbringer Vistashift with a 55mm Apo-Grandagon, and I use my Voigtlander Heliar 15mm viewfinder. I would look at Cameraquest - they have a 15mm...

Actually, Ellis, my understanding, as far as it went, was fine. A "point" referred to the top-view of the line in the 2 dimensional diagrams common in the view camera texts. Ease off the coffee,...
Here is my understanding of the Scheimpflug principle: If the lens plane, film plane and object plane meet at a single point, the object plane will be in sharp focus. Question: If the film and...
Jason,
You can take pictures of buildings with any length lens. Pick out some interesting features, look at thinge from a new perspective.
If one used it primarily on "B", is the Vario ok, or is it a reliability issue?
There is a Vario shutter on ebay that the seller says is the same size as a Copal O - if so, it seems a good buy. Is the mount the same? (Just leave me one)
I have heard that the G-Claron 150mm will drop into a Copal 0 with no extra work, making the retrofit cost effective. Do people know of other such pairings where a cost-effective mating might be...
Google is a useful tool, too!

This was not a setup, but it occurred to me that this tool is now my Corinthian Leatherman.
The key Corinthian accessory is a Chrysler CorDOba!
Actually I like my Leatherman Micra.
From an article on Greek temples:
The Greeks developed an augmentation technique known as entasis to avoid an optical illusion caused by the shaft's fluting (parallel vertical lines). In a tall...
I have heard that this lens in fact will cover much more than the 189mm published image circle, due to a higher level of rigour in establishing the acceptable image. If one used the criteria more...

I'll take the over on twelve-to-one. No way, given the new "strategy" of Kodak.
Thanks Richard - I was hoping I could take a more mathematical approach - i.e. get the formulas used in the table above that says f(focal length a) (+ or x) f(focal length b) = f(combined focal...
That's cool.
I would be interested in evidence, that's all. Keep in mind that ALL of Kodak's operating profits are generated by conventional film-based technology, according to the WSJ. Digital...
Jeff,
It seems you are taking this personally - I have no idea why. Nice to bail with a logic-free final statement.
I cannot state with absolute certainty that the 25% decline in Kodak's...
Hello Jeff,
I think you and I agree on the basic facts - digital is growing and film is declining, though quite slowly overall, given growth in lesser-developed markets. The question is "Can...
Very good, QT, I think you are right. I already own this exotic "device" (FM2n). The Nikon 24-120mm seems to be the best single-lens solution.
Thanks
Hello,
Does anyone know of a device to which one could mount a 35mm zoom lens, one that would cover the focal length equivalents on one's LF lens set, that could be used to frame a composition and...
I can imagine the corporate culture at Kodak has created a series of perverse incentives. The desire to increase revenues, fiefdoms, budget hording, etc.
If a Kodak shareholder wants to invest in...
