I have the same brochure in PDF. It doesn't explicitly say so, but the image circle numbers are based on 1:1 magnification. The spec table gives a 55 degree f/22 angle of coverage; plugging this...

I’ll be traveling through these airports with film in a couple of weeks. Has anyone had recent experience in any of them?
Thank you.
Hi Michael,
Here's another question, if you don't mind.
The base is made of 1/4"-thick craft wood glued edgewise. How do you ensure that it stays flat during the gluing operation?
Michael,
Thanks for linking to this in your recent 5x8 build posting. I don't know how I missed it the first time around. Now that I've read through all of it I have some questions.
1. You...
It seems to me that a quarter of a second (250ms) is rather long for an M-sync delay. I always thought flash bulbs reached their peak output in 15-25ms. But unless you’re using flashbulbs this won’t...
What carrier do you use for shipping to the US?
It might help to also consider what your plans are and how long you’ll be staying. LF gear may be fine if you’re going purely for photography and traveling alone or with a few others with similar...
I asked a similar question a dozen years ago when we were planning our Iceland trip. Gudmundur Ingolfsson, a photographer in Reyjavik and a member here, advised me to bring my medium format gear...
Schneider's literature differs with Greg on the rear cap. I have PDFs of 1967 and 1976 Schneider datasheets (downloaded years ago from Schneider's web site when they still had all the historical...
According to my notes - 40.5mm filter, 37.5mm rear cap.
To be sure, neither of these is a featherweight.
My 105mm NSW (the newer multicoated incarnation, Copal shutter, 77mm filters) weighs 605 grams with retaining ring and caps, 576 grams without...
Gossen have recently introduced an adapter that makes it easy to use a pair of SR43 batteries in place of the now-obsolete PX625 mercury cells in the old Luna-Pro.

I keep a few old yogurt cups for weighing chemicals. The plastic is inert and is easily washed for re-use. The only exception is when I weigh out Catechol for mixing Pyrocat - that cup retains the...
And household vinegar is 3-5% as I recall, so diluting 1:1 with water as Michael R suggests is fine.
Personally I use food-grade citric acid, 15 grams per liter. No smell. Capacity is somewhere...
Thanks guys, this is encouraging. I’ve added a sheet of R10 to my B+H shopping cart, that looks to be very close to a Wratten 8 and will test it against a glass filter.
Does anyone use Rosco filters in place of Kodak Wratten filters? The larger size, like 5x5 and 6x6 inch, Wrattens are hard to find in good condition and the few NOS ones that are available on eBay...
Axelwik - I'm curious, what are you now using for a light meter in place of the Pentax digital?
I would encourage you not to delete photos of rare or unusual items as these can be a useful reference to other folks.
Many repair shops have closed in recent years as the owners/technicians retire and can't find anyone to carry on. It's possible that, even in a city as large as Houston, you may no longer have the...
No, and no. The outside diameter of the CF is almost precisely 112mm. It is physically impossible for something with 112mm threads to fit.
I have no plans to go to that much trouble. The B+W filters certainly appear genuine when compared with the (many) B+W filters I own in various sizes and came in what appears to be a genuine blue...
Michael, thank you. I knew B+W was part of Schneider but didn't know when that happened.
Answer: When Schneider's published literature says the accessory thread of the Center Filter IVb is 112mm x 1.5mm.
Explanation: Two B+W 112mm filters I recently acquired measure 111.9mm across the...
15/32 seems small. Did you omit the inches and write just the fractional part?
If you try to phone or email Keith Canham, he mentioned in a recent FB post that he's on holiday until the 17th or 18th of July.
Remarkably enough, one just popped up on eBay from a Japanese seller, item number 235065860543.
Is there any way you can post the info you received from Schneider for others who might seek it now or in the future?
Don mentioned the Yamasaki 400mm. I have one of these, branded as Osaka, which I believe was a house brand for the importer in Pittsburgh(?). Like the Fujinon 400s and the Nikkor 360, it takes 67mm...
There are two versions of the 400mm Fujinon-T. The earlier one is single-coated, has a 240mm image circle, and weighs about 800 grams; the later version is multi-coated, has a 220mm image circle,...
The 240mm Fujinon-A was in a Copal 0. The 260mm Apo-Congo was in a Seikosha 0.
I was looking for 11x14 tissue last year and couldn’t find it. I succeeded in in tracking down the current manufacturer of what used to be Seal Colormount and they told me they were no longer cutting...
Umm, I think you mean 1-3/4" (44.5mm). That's what's written in my copies of Kodak documents.
True, but...
The original Apo-Sironar, which ultimately became the Apo-Sironar-W, was offered only in 150mm, 210mm, and 300mm focal lengths. So if you have a 135mm lens it can't be an 80°...
Another plus is that the 720mm Nikkor-T at 780 grams is considerably lighter than either the 600mm or 800mm (1650 and 1600 grams, respectively, all weights from the 1994 Nikon LF lens brochure). Not...
It's a private group, you have to apply but it's easy. The group is watched over by several highly experienced repair people from around the world. It's intended for folks who want to learn how to...
Pliobond 25 is frequently suggested in the “Learn Camera Repair” Facebook group.
Jason Lane (Nodda Duma here on the forum) could probably recement it for you. Or you could attempt it yourself as a learning experience. There's plenty of info out there on the basics. While I've...
That’s an interesting idea! I guess you’d need to experiment with how far in front of the pinhole to place the CND.
I was just thinking that if the fields of view are the same then the fallof may be the same, so would be mostly correctable with a CF. It’s not really a big deal for me with black-and-white, and I...
Suppose I have a center-filter designed for a certain focal length LF lens. Will I get similar results using that center-filter on a shorter lens and a smaller format if the angle of view for the...
