  1. Re: Is there any way to not lose detail when resizing for web?

    In Photoshop, you can chose which algorithm will process the image when you change it's size. Adobe recommends "bicubic" as producing the best quality. This is true when the image is made larger or...
  2. Re: Tele-Arton Multicoating 5,5-270mm owner sought

    Hi Jonathan!

    Thanks for the trouble! I have found a tool to convert your inches measurments into milimeters, and the results prove that we are contemplating another species of that enigmatic lens!...

  5. Re: Does someone know about this plastic stuff?

    Hi Barry,

    How many? Well, one would probably suffice unless you recommend putting two? (sorry couldn't resists!) :)

    Would you have a metric 60xM.9 retainer for a Compound #3? If so please...
  6. Re: Does someone know about this plastic stuff?

    Hi Barry,

    Certainly not! Not even for the $80 that a large custom made retainer costs. But if the hole is tight and the job well done, I see no reason why this should happen. And most lenses have...
  7. Re: Does someone know about this plastic stuff?

    Paul,

    Yes that's a very good idea! I was reluctant to oiling the threads but did not think of using teflon tape which is of course much better and more secure.

    Thanks!
  8. Does someone know about this plastic stuff?

    Some years ago I saw this stuff advertised at the local DIY store, but now that I need it it has disappeared from all hardware stores! Does someone know about this plastic that comes in pellets and...
  9. Re: Zeiss Process Lens to Soft Focus Conversion?

    Interesting idea, but it won't work that way. Imagons are especially designed to produce a diffusing effect by some optical aberrations (spherical aberration I believe but I could be wrong). The...

    Thanks Mike, I have seen it but I would need the table of correspondence of light fallof with focal length, for I suspect that this is not a constant aperture design. If someone has it, it would be...

  14. How to induce spherical aberration with purpose ?

    Way too long for a CCD! I remember now that the Super Angulon 5,6 used with a single element was producing something interesting. Not exactly what I am looking for though. But I doubt I could mount...
  15. How to induce spherical aberration with purpose ?

    Just curious, are the Universal Heliars available in short focals, around 100mm ?
  16. How to induce spherical aberration with purpose ?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I guess there is place for experimentation there! BTW, I didn't know the Heliars were such lenses.
  17. How to induce spherical aberration with purpose ?

    This is not specific to large format, but it's a fun project and maybe someone will come with an idea. I like the effect I get when I attach a +1 diopter to my Nikon 2,8 80-200. Between 180 and 200mm...
