That may be one way to make it possible. Or I could just put the bulb on a table and use my elbow, like I do with other troublesome stuff.
That wouldn’t have much control though.
Well…

Hand strength is something to consider. I have arthritis in my hands…wondering if this is indeed a good idea. In any case it will be fun to try
Thank you. I’m looking forward to trying it.
Thank you and thanks for the pics. Very helpful!
Hi everyone
I’m sure I saw a thread about these somewhere but can’t find it.
I got a Packard shutter in a box with other camera parts awhile ago. It’s in great condition but is missing the...
I've painted on canvas for quite a long time. When I was a student, we were taught to use a grid if we were using a photo or drawing for reference and wanted to transcribe the exact image, also to...
I use paper negatives in book form holders in my camera. There were pieces of glass with black paper on it in the holders when I bought it, so I just left them in there, and sandwiched the paper...
ok here goes...

Hope I'm posting this right...I'm new here

Interesting...thanks again for the info. You mentioned " in that time". What time would this be? The 1960s? I've read that's when Seagull was active first. Is that right?
Oh that is what that little thing on the bottom of the logo is...a G. And obviously the top part is a stylized seagull wings? Couldn't see it at first. Thanks. I got it with a pile of other stuff at...
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know what company this log is from? It's on a largeish shutter with an air driven lever. Settings are Z, M, 0.177615
thanks, found a chart where the US system goes up to 512 and the Stoltz system does as well. Mystery solved! All this is fascinating
Thank you everyone, the information helps a lot. It's a fun lens, and at least as old as the camera I use it on.
Not bad for a nine dollar lens. Even if it's not the best quality, it's...
I got this lens in a lot sale. It's small, is a wheel stop, and it covers 4 x 5 at least, because that is what I tested it on. I am confused over the aperture numbering system though. It goes, as far...
Do i understand from the thread title that this was developed in caffenol? Very nice image, a sense of balance...
I've never done collodion, but I love looking at the work on this thread. The whole process intrigues me
I've been reading graflex.org but without much result. I understand what you mean about stop positions...okay back to the drawing board!
Been experimenting with making my own "rubberized" shutter...
Thanks Steven. I looked at new material on a website but it's 90 USD which is about what I paid for the whole camera!
I'd really like to use the shutter if I can fix it. Until the D setting it...
Excuse me if this has been discussed before...I looked but didn't see anything.
I found an Anniversary Speed Graphic at a camera store. It was in nice shape generally, and they were upfront with...
I thought it was too large. I have no idea what to ask for something like this, if I went ahead and offered it for someone with a larger camera. Hmmm should go through the listings and compare.
Here are a couple of photos...
I think the lens actually is too big and heavy for the little Challenge. I was thinking of putting a small wheel stop brass lens( much lighter but with 4 x 5...
This one has no lugs of any kind. It was mounted on the lens when I bought the camera. Just for interest Steven, it is the Swift shutter that came with my Challenge
I have a T-P type roller blind shutter.Yup, they're old. but its' the one shutter I've got for a bunch of brass lenses I'm experimenting with.
It has a large hole, and is quite big, front...
I understand you were just letting me know there were other possibilities. It was interesting to me to see this color combination on one lens. I've seen aluminum ( speaking looSely. Again, I know...
True, I'm not experienced with metals. I noticed this part of the lens looked like copper...rather like a new penny once cleaned up. Of course it might be a different colored brass but I have never...
Here's an odd question. I bought a number of lenses as a lot and there was included a tiny longish lens that was un recognizable as a lens because it was obscured with dirt. So I cleaned it. It is...
I agree with you. By the time I get off work they are closing so I go on Thursdays as well. At least they have one late day
Thank you
Yes I got the 5x7, and...a quarter plate when I went on a trip to England. This camera thing is addictive!
The little camera fits 4x5 so I have film for that. It's actually a plate camera and the...
I brought in the color with filters in Lightroom. The paper was developed in Caffenol-C which I think also affected the color.
It's Vancouver BC actually. I love coming down to Seattle!
New here...but thought I'd post an image from a paper negative, 5 x 7 field camera. 171552
Oh...right.
I'm Anne. Thanks for the welcome
thought I'd finally introduce myself.
Up until now, I've only used 35mm and 120 format cameras, but I started a project last year, and as part of it, tried pinhole, which led me to liking the...
I was only responding to Steven's request for photos. I assume he wishes to help.
Hi just thought I'd thank you again for the advice. The restoration is going well, so far the reglued joints are holding up and I learned how to French polish!
I had to take the finish off some of...
I knew I forgot something...a photo!

and a side view. It was tricky to get a photo of the broken wire 171495
When I pull on this wire the shutter cocking mechanism works. When I let it...
Found the problem. A wire has broken leading from the speed setting mechanism to the lever and tube. Explains why the slow speeds wouldn't finish. The thread you referred me to helped, but here I am...
