I believe this unit has a lever underneath the bottom right side that lifts the filters out of the light path for focussing. If the filters aren't returned to the light path afterwards, the light...

Jeremy, I get nitrile gloves at Lowes Home Improvement Center.
Asheville is perfect. There are 100s of beautiful waterfalls all along the Blue Ridge escarpment, the highest elevation east of the Mississippi River (Mt Mitchell) is only a short distance away. ...
Opinions are like noses? I've never heard that one, but I have heard them compared to another body part that's located toward the other end!
An important follow-up question: Does anyone know how to correctly pronounce Scheimpflug?
I guess your chums know the results of the tests, but we sure don't!
"That individual may be simply what he seems - a person who wants to sell a personal possession. However we have no way of knowing if that, in fact, is true or if he is using this as a means to...
I can't help you with developing times, but you might not want to put too much time, effort and money into Ektapan since Kodak has announced its discontinuance.
If your negatives are too thin when you use a filter for B&W, the problem is probably related to an incorrect filter factor. The lens itself would not be the problem.
As I understand it, you are correct that there are new and slightly different TMax films being made at a new plant somewhere in Fla. I don't know the exact differences, but I think it is good that...
At one time Calumet had a plastic device to protect the ground glass on all types of view cameras. It was just a U-shaped thing, one side of the U fitting into the back like a neg holder while the...
I myslef prefer using monolights. I have 6 old Photogenic PL600 (600ws each), 4 PL750 (300ws each), and 3 PL375 (150ws each). Even with this many heads, though, its not unusual to have to do...
I have two old Wollensak teles mounted in shutters that I use on my Tachihara (it has 305mm of bellows draw.) One is a 25o and the other is a 380. The 25o is small and lightweight, the 380 is...
I have a Tachihara that I've had for about 20 years. I use a 65mm f/8 Super Angulon on it all the time with no real problems. The bellows is compressed quite a bit, restricting rise and fall ...
There is no such thing as a quintessential dark cloth!!!
Joe:
I process it on standard Nikkor 220 reels. Dev times are the same as for the 120 reels.
Andre:
Berrger describes some aluminum sheets that they have to offer called Bromalu and Alucolor at their website. I'm not familiar with it at all, have never used it and don't know about its...
I know that you are asking what we would like to see, but I will tell you what I don't want to see. I have no desire to see the number of articles concerning digital imaging that you have been...
Dean:
Just tape the neg to the glass with Scotch tape.
I too find this site to be a real asset to LF. Anybody want to buy a Civil War documentary VHS. How about jazz or baseball tapes?
John:
At the Bogen website, download the PDF for the brochure on lightstands. They have both the short and long wall booms listed in there.

The real question here is not whether the APO Symmar (or another lens, for that matter) can or cannot be used as a convertible since it MOST DEFINITELY CAN BE. As Chin has found out, all you have...
If anyone wants to see a photo of a 12" Kodak Portrait lens, there is one on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&item=1295111021
Andre:
No, I'm not the one who did the documentaries. Sorry.
Richard:
I believe the lens you are describing was called the Portrait Ektar. It consisted of 1 group of 2elements positioned behind the shutter. Kodak wasn't the only one the have similar...
Wayne:
I use a Tachihara 4x5 field camera (305 max bellows draw). For close portriat work I picked up old 10" and 15" Tele-Optars. Being teles, they don't require much bellows draw. The 10"...
Hagai:
You can get a Beattie Intenscreen Plus for almost any camera.
Martti:
If you would like to use Merklinger's approach, it would be easiest if you hired a could survey crew to map the scene and make the calculations.
Ray:
If you are making contact prints, whichever lens you use doesn't matter at all. As a matter of fact, for contact printing, a lens really isn't even necessary. A bare light bulb would...
Michael:
One thing that needs to be understood when working in large format is the term "telephoto." Telephoto has nothing to do with the lens focal length, but rather has to do with the lens's...
Jerry:
One small thing that can make a huge differenc here is to make sure you do not use a hardening fixer.
Stephen:
Before going to the trouble of preparing one or more portfolios for presentation to galleries, I recommend that you first contact each of the prospective galleries you intend to call on...
Clark:
I'm not familiar with this particular roll film back, but have used others. Somewhere inside the back alongside the film path, there will be a reference mark. It might be a red dot,...
Arthur:
Actually, the Preview Lever on the shutter does open the shutter wide open. It is important to realize that the shutter and aperture diaphragm operate separately. When preparing to...
Dave:
I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the wavelength of the ligth emitted by the night light probably isn't the same as the wavelength of tunsten light passing through a green...
Tony:
At on time Gowland had a brochure on his line of equipment. Contact him directly and see if a brochure is still available.
Dave:
You can figure out the approximate configuration of the lens by viewing the reflections of a single light source on the air:glass and the glued glass:glass interfaces of the lens elements....
Clive:
I could be wrong here, but weren't the "regular" Angulons all f/6.3s? Haven't all of the Super Angulons been either f/5.6 or f/8? Wouldn't this mean that both of the lenses you...
