For me it is the attempt to show others what I have seen - in the way I have seen it.

In case of nature shots, add the attempt to make people think twice of destroying nature, as beautiful as it...

Dear all,

I haven't been successful in finding the data of this lens.

Can anybody tell me the coverage/image circle?

Is it the same like the no. 35 Kodak Anastigmat 4.5/254 ?
Any data on...

I started with a 135mm and a 210mm. Later I added a 90mm, some later a 300mm. In the meantime I own lenses from 58mm to 750mm, but to tell the truth, the most used are still the lenses I started with...

Domenico,

I am sorry you took the "dear" for offence. It is just what I learned to use to start a written communication with, and - you may think this is old-fashioned - I like to address the...

Dear Domenico,

I see you did your lessons in rhetorics well, and you are highly involved in philosophy.

I bet you understood well, what Mark wanted to say with the example of cursing. But as...

Hello Steve,

thanks for the additional information.

If I understand you right, my "p" 8x10" frame with non-metering back is not compatible to the 8x10" metering back (only available for p2)....

Hi,

what about posting some detailed pictures, then we can tell ...

Hi sanchi! Thanks for the welcome. You are quite right, time's the problem. I did a master education accompanying my regular job for the last two years; today I'm working on my master...

Robin,

there are a lot of roll film backs out there, but I wouldn't bet they fit properly under the SINAR groundglas. They should work if you take off the ground glass frame and put them in...

You hit the nail on the head. And that's what I wanted to check.

Hi Robin,

nice start with a f2, congratulations. With the SINAR system you have all the freedom of choice.

I started with a SINAR roll film back, and I shot a lot of film before I first exposed...

Thanks John, thanks Carsten,

I didn't want to just get adresses where to buy LF stuff. As the header said: I've been looking for alternatives to ebay.

From the immense:D feedback and your two...

Sorry if I am a little slow on understanding:

on both backs of my SINAR (4x5 and 8x10) I have a screen with engraved lines facing the lens and an additional fresnel screen facing the photographer....

Dear all,

are there other online auction platforms or marketplaces that can be recommended?

Perhaps we can start a collection, like done with online shops?

For Europe, I can throw in

I totally agree to mikec.

Spend 20$ more to get it right from the beginning.
Better than surprise by light leaks or other effects.
Got a board once without light trap. Lens and board could be...

Hi epack,

my answers:

- lens shades fit to a lens, compendium may fit for all (on SINAR it does)
- easy to set copal shutter, if needed:adjust filter, then just move back compendium towards...

Before you buy and start, have a close look at the SINAR f2:

- you pay very reasonable prices
- often available in Europe (no import and tax costs)
- system open to all formats and add-ons,...

I live in northern Germany, around 30 km south of Hamburg. So here it's bitter beer and fish instead of sweet bear and "Wurst" like in southern Germany, specially Bavaria. ;)

Hi everybody,
I've been reading here for some time now, and I also got some helpful answers to my questions. Think it's time to introduce myself.

Dear all,

thank you again.

I am in laser business, so I did some testing with a laser line. Normally, if projected on glass, you can't see much of it, because it goes through. In certain types...

Thanks for your comments.

What setting would you propose to test on decrease of contrast/sharpness, if you don't have the same lens with perfect surface available?

I have a test-sheet, so I...

Hi,

I did some searching, but found no really illuminating answer:

I just got an 8/165 SA, and was happy as can be - until I held it against the light. The surface of the front lens - that...

Hi,
I did some searching in older threads, but I don't feel sure because different expressions are used for parts.

As far as I know the rear standart on P as well as P2 consists of three main...

Dan,

thanks for the info.

I didn't want to critisize thread drift - sorry, this was a misunderstanding caused by my english. :o

I wanted to say, that CA hadn't been an issue for me up to...

Thank you to all!

I will keep on doing 4x5, so my lenses up to 90 mm will stay - and I know they do a good job on 6x9.

I was just thinking about replacing my APO-Sironar S 135/5.6 by a Nikkor...

Hi everybody,
today I'm taking pictures 4x5, and I also use roll film backs 6x9 and 6x7. As I plan to upgrade to 8x10, I am looking for replacement for my 4x5 lenses, that don't cover 8x10.
Do I...

As there are nearly no projectors for 4x5 and only a few, quite expensive ones for 6x7, I think about using the optical components of an old HOMRICH 5x7 enlarger to build an own projector.

My...

Hi,

does anybody know where to get the small number wheels used in LISCO MkII 4x5" film holders?

Thanks
