I have the 150mm & 210mm Kowa graphic lenses. Both came in barrels and I have mounted them in copal 1 shutters. They are definitely of different construction though. I disassembled them to clean a...

I thought I would weigh in on the Kowa debate. I picked up 150 & 210mm Kowa f9 lenses in barrel very cheaply, and screwed them into #1 shutters. Here are my abservations: 210mm- on my 8x10 Deardorff...
The g claron is a 6 element plasmat, with coverage of about 80 degrees stopped down. The repro claron is a 4 element lens, much like the artar or apo ronar. They have much less coverage, the artar...
I had a 270WA a while back which I played with on my 8x10, although I didn't expose any film. The coverage didn't seem all that great,I have heard it is no better than a regular G claron. The lens...
I had an Elwood 8x10 which I was pleased with. The only reason I sold it was because I rescued a Saltzman on the way to the dump.( the Elwood seemed big until I had to wrestle the 800lb Saltzman...
I use the Nikkor 360/500/720 set, and this makes sense to me because it is more versatile than a single focal length. I haven't used Fuji T lenses, but someone I know who has used both said he...

Tmax films have excellent reciprocity characteristics and fine grain. They are very sensitive to time/temperature variations in processing, not that this is a problem if you use good technique. One...
I have 19" and 24" red dot artars for 8x10. I bought them in barrel, and had the m mounted in used copal 3 shutters which I has bought. I live in Canada, and the y cost around $200 each to have done...
I have owned a 9.5 inch golden dagor for a number of years. I have decided to se ll it, only because I have a Fuji 240 f9 lens also, which does essentially the s ame thing. The Fuji has a hair more...
Agfa actually did manufacture APX 25 in sheet film, 4x5 at least, until quite re cently. I suppose they discontinued because of lack of demand. Kodak will manufa cture virtually any size of film on...
