Doesn't surprise me at all. The "life" of the film market has it logic in the film characteristic and qualities. Film, like paper, will stay with us.

Defending yourself? Laugh it off! You've received more friendly posts here than old F...'s advice - no reason to leave, to defend what so ever. Learn what you want where you want as you want....

Personally I would be just satisfied if there were a new catalog every so often, less cryptic and easier to study. While they are nice to send you freely a lot of brochures the catalog needs overhaul.

Not at all! As far as you have a black frame between the pictures there won't be any light bleeding. If you file it in the same angle as the original film gate you have nothing to fear. The black...

Just don't take this forum too seriously. It's a mixed society here, and yes, plenty of BS to find too.
Personally, if someone were talking down to me, because I'm "like a young woman he was...

Well, you hit the nail on the head;)

I'm not old! How much I'm not old? A sufficient lot.

Oh, not so quickly! It is a good idea if you want to have the real 6x9 gate! I just measured on a Fuji 690 range finder: you have 10mm gap between the 56x82mm exposed film areas. Now, if you file the...

If that can console you, the excellent Mamiya Universal 6x9 RFH are 56x83 mm.:) Grab them while you can...

Indeed, other 6x9 (Fuji range finders) have also the 57x82mm film gate. But there can be variation in other 6x9 RFH. If I remember well the Cambo 612 is also 56x112, have no access to it right now. A...

Yet, there was a time when it was said that M. Vogt spoke about preparations for the AS website. My theory is that hearing their company is regarded as a French one he got so p...off that he said -...

A company in France? Can you explain? Or a factory in France? In Switzerland you buy the Arca Swiss cameras for Swiss francs, not euros. I know, I'm actually living in Switzerland.:D You know what?...

Here we start it again. I was not mistaken about it. :) "Their" = of the factory in France ? The Swiss address was already given to you once, together with the American address... French you said?...

Nothing to wonder about, Ling. It's a Swiss company - you can see that on the Swiss price too:)

Mikec, the Arca Swiss is a Swiss company with a manufacturing factory in France. To call it a French company is as correct as to call American computer firms Taiwanese firms because the computers are...

My sincere condolences and my prayers for you and Ted. R.I.P Ted.

Take it with a common sense, it's enough. The gray card should logically be in the same angle toward the Sun as the subject surface you want to measure. If that surface were a huge gray card, you...

Besides Arca is a French company and no longer a Swiss factory.




Why not ask them? Their business office is in Switzerland or in France where their production is.

I'll give you an example....

Wait a moment - you said the company is now French, now you speak about the factory being French. Any difference in your eyes between the two (the company and the factory)? I enjoy your logic so...

Mark, take a good book and go accordingly. Better than taking the crumbs of unknown qualities of this forum. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

Both horses are on a green grass hill - of the middle gray equivalent...

In your eyes, does this fact make the Arca Swiss company French now?

Do you know where was originally founded the French (according to Bob Solomon :D ) company Arca Swiss?

And Arca Swiss was originally founded - in France...??

The topic is spot meters -- not incident light meters.
WRONG - THE OP SPOKE ABOUT INCIDENT METERING TOO!
Gray cards are very helpful (if not actually required) when doing copy work when one is...

Your parent company is then Swiss, not Swedish, right ?:)

I see... the Arca Swiss is an American company! Thanks, Emmanuel;)

If you want to measure the light a subject receives then why not simply measure the incident light?
A gray card measured in a part of landscape doesn't make all colors middle gray, as you...

Playing with words? How about Ford being a Spanish company and no longer an American factory?

Why? Because the paintings are middle gray? Sorry, but the logic is flawed in both of the statements.

Contact cement does the job but the foam needs to be aerated for a day or so to lose the vapors.

Well Dave, you have you share of the not so friendly comments you too, no need to make an angel from you. Take care of your health, I'm glad you understand the priorities well and sincerely, God...

Well, not that you would be more clear than the Arca Swiss manual:) - turning toward me or away from me is not really a clear description to say when you have a knob with an axis perpendicular to...

What do you mean by DOF? The depth of field as Brian understood it or the depth of focus? Me thinks you had a film wrongly put in your film holder or simply not plain.

It might, indeed, thank you.

Me too I'm fully satisfied with the Arca Swiss gg. The OP mentioned snapping in focus has to do more with the grain structure rather than with the gg luminosity. A finer grain gg is less prone to the...

Wait a moment - you say you can lock the handle (?) but not the case??
With my best will I don't see anything so great on the case - except the weight, sure. Wouldn't like to lug it but to each its...

Let's make it clear - you really don't recall where you got it?:)
