Bonjour Emmanuel,
I will also be in Paris for few days in Spring. It seems to happen that the Ville Lumiere still attracts many phothographers......
Apart from being a...

I am on the cheper and longer side ;): Nikkor 200 M.
Ciao from Italy
If you hike, limit yourself to a 240-250 mm as maximum focal lenght and you are not interested in any macro work, I would definitely go for a Shen Hao. If, instead you are looking for a longer bellow...
Ciao. The shutter often "fires" without opening above all at lower speeds. I do kot know where to go in Italy since Nikon large format lenses are apparently not very popular. I was wandering to send...
Why not Rodinal. After all it is cheap, bullet proof and the oldest developer known :)
i have just come back from France and during the trip I realised that the shutter of my Nikon 135 W was faulty. I would like to know who can fix this shutter and, since I also have a Nikon 150 W 5.6...
Ciao Merg. A wonderful story. I believe you have many things to tell us and I hope the site will be up and running very soon so we can read some more stories. I wish you and your family a happy 2008....
Tomorrow I will be leaving for Normandy for a 10 trip and a choletserol free vacation ;) . I wish you all an excellent Christmas and a happy new year.
Ciao from Italy
I believe that the coverage of the G-Claron is wider than the Fujionon when you stop both the lenses down.
I was wondering if anyone has used the 3005 tank in more than once in a developing session. In other words I need to know if the 3005 drum can be easily dried and how fast it can be reused after a...
I have been using a 4x5 Shen Hao camera that I purcased from Jeff at BAdger 3 years ago without any major problem. I have recently realised that from a French company is now available a model that...
Thanks Sandy and thanks Jim. I will try and I will report.
Best regards from Italy
Many thanks Ole. Stay warm upthere ;)
John and Dan thanks a lot for your quick answer. I will try to contact Jim about it (where are you Jim by the way ?). I am still wondering about the principle behind that though. How could I...
Another vote for the Nikon 90/8. Excellent lens and extremely portable.
Thanks for your post and best regards from Italy.
Somebody in the net claimed that the G-Clarons lenses, due to they symmetrical design, easly convert into lenses of other focal lenghts only replacing the front cells. This could be possible using...
How does it compare in 8x10 with the g-claron 305 in terms of coverage and resolution ?
Thanks Ted. It is definitely the film that you have used. Do you remember as it was responding to the usage of filters when photographing landscape ?
Thanks
Two years ago I bought 5 packs of 4x5 Adox CHS 25 film that are expiring next year. I am planning to us them next month in occasion of a trip in Northern France. Although I have experienced with the...
Sorry Ted. I was meaning Brian and Ted.
Brian and Ellis. Many thanks for the answers. I will definitely keep the Nikon.
A big Ciao from Italy.
I own a Nikon 135/5,6 and I am quite happy of its performance when shooting 4x5 B&W. I know that this is quite a "controversial" lens since some people like its performance and some others consider...
I have read in an article that it is one of the favourite lenses of John Sexton. Apparently he switched from the Nikon 210 to the 200 gaining at least in weight. I think it is a superb lens under...
What about the quality of Fidelity holders ? I have many of them in 4x5 format and never had any problem. How do they compare to the Lisco ones ?
Thanks to all of you for the answers. Best regards from Italy
I am passing from 4x5 format to 8x10 and since I deem that 8x10 is much slower in composing and in the field operations, I am curious to know how many film 8x10 holders do you have or use in a...
Many thanks to all of you.
I own a Berlerbach wooden tripod (I believe it is the Report model 8403 or 9403 with the adjustable central column and three extensions legs) that I have been using with the quik release plate and my...
I own a G-Claron 210 that I use for the 8x10 format. I would like to know if the Wollensak 210 is a better lens if used with this format and if can be easily assebled in a compur shutter (direct fit...
I own a G-Claron 210 on Copal and I wondering what kind of advantage I could have by using the Raptar 210 instead. Anyone has made any comparison between these two lenses when shooting 8x10 negatives...
Ernest, Ernest, Mr. Moravec, many thanks for your responses. I will let you know about the fitting.
You can try with the Paterson washer for 8x10 papers that works fine also with films. The films are placed into spacers and they are not becoming in contact among themselves. It is not a very...
I am very confused about mounting barrel lenses on shutters and the type of adjustments needed to the aperture scales. I own a Nikkor 150 W 5,6 and I am thinking about using the shutter of this lens...
Efke at Fotoimpex.
thanks to all of you for the kind answers. I will get then the Nikkor.
