okay, so exactly HOW does the lens disassemble to remove the damaged blades?
my best guess seems to be what appears to be a retaining ring in the back, but no lens wrench I own can span the gap.
or...
I was just recently given a nikkor 600mm graphic arts lens that the previous owner just had no further use for. the aperture blades in the lens are coated in rust, and are out of the track or...
ugh... someone posted nearly this exact same question on APUG.
look, I cans till go buy 127 film brand new from stores with retail locations.
formats that are actually commonly used are in no...
here are the prices for new meggaflash bulbs:
Meggaflash PF300 case 48 bulbs $600.00 Screw Base
Meggaflash PF310 case 48 bulbs $740.00 Screw Base

I assume the press 50 is similar to the #5?
or are they more like the #5 focal plane?
and the star wars fans have stopped turning them into sabers? that is GREAT news.:D
heart set, not...
well, I checked the law, and you must buy the ingredients separately (unsafe to ship otherwise)
without a pyrotechnics license, the legal amount of EACH chemical that can be purchased each year is...
hello all, I was just wanting some more information on where to find the old style powder flashes.
frankly, I was hoping someone knows of a place that may have one, specific models to look for, as...
whoa, look-it has a hinged ground glass.
I can't really tell from the pictures the scale of it, but i'd say it's either half-plate or whole-plate.
interesting item. might be better off in a...
kudos to that.
ah, tubes. they still have a nice, warm sound that digital just lacks. no wonder they still make brand new tube radios, record players, etc.
completely agree with your...
when i give up all self respect and decide mainstream blandness constitutes fine art.
according to kenrockwell website, you need about 2 gigapixel bayer sensor to equal 4x5 film.
or I could pay a...
okay, I just got a box of this film, partially used.
ran a couple sheets through paper developer, no fog appeared.
but what I cannot find anywhere is this:
what is the ISO rating of the film? I...
probably?
you might just want to find an arca dealer and email them.
well, you may need to build the camera.
while collodion is supposed to be a lot of fun, it isn't very safe.
IMO, try using liquid emulsion to start with, then move to collodion if you feel...
I'm floored. Let's see some examples of what it does next please :)
does anyone know a source for reprints of these older photography books?
The Photographer's Handbook, apprx 1901 edition
Flashlight Portraiture, Tennant and Ward, apprx 1912
thanks.
seems to be an appropriate name for the seller.
great fun when you think you found something on epray and it turns out to be copied?
i fell for the hasselblad with a $5.00 opening bid. no chance...
oh, we should get a bunch of 'volunteers' from here who know it's a fake, yet will put up great videos enthusiastically talking and giving rave reviews and see how many people fall for it.
I've seen these mentioned, and my Graphic Graflex Photography book mentiones just how useful they actually are, specifically, how useful the RB Super D is.
I primarily work with my pacemaker speed,...
if you paid too much, then I was had on my camera.
4x5 side rf pacemaker speed (one of the earliest production run models) a three cell flash, 5" reflector, box of Ge #5 bulbs (blue coating), lens,...
try getting an old variac-it will allow you to change the speed of and tool that doesn't use a synchronous motor.
so pretty much every tool with a motor will be slowed by it.
I use mine for slowing...
At that price, it must be made of gold.
and have some sort of feature that garuntees you will never have a bad picture, and it probably makes film appear out of thin air.
:D :D :D
well, I'm a fool.
updating this old topic is much less of a waste than starting a new topic.
not only does the Pro Photo Sourcebook (out of print) go into detail about the camera, it listsed all...
Okay, I just shot some E-6 ISO 64 fujifilm color slide film in 4x5, and I need to get it developed.
I don't have a home developer, so I plan on either sending it out. preferably, a place in...
a newer good condition crown graphic is a good choice. they are quite nice.
If you have the money, just go with a Linhof press camera. metal body, easy to use, weigh not much more than a Graflex,...
okay, thanks.
now this is all starting to make sense-i have always used trial-and-error to get my pictures the way I want.
so wait, for the analyzer, the enlarger goes to about 151 for the red (or is it magenta?)...
help me out here, i have never done any of this before...
my school just recently acquired a besseler pm color analyzer, really old unit. i have it set up next to the omega color enlarger, as it is...
can't remember the place... but there was a mention of this one person in... i think it was popsci or popmech. either way, it was large format scanner cameras with 128mb images, made with broken...
I heard about that one too!
can't find it anywhere-no mention of it.
RRRGH!!!
have you heard of the vacuum 4x5 back?
it was rumored to be a linhof product.
wow... a massive amount of people miss type 55
let's bother fuji until they release an instant film that does what type 55 did
maybe it will even fit in polaroid holders(give me an excuse to get a...
and i appreciate the help.
the cube looks really nice. what about the knockoff version that's half the price? they are pretty much the exact same thing.
this costs about as much as the arca...
well, to be more specific, i was wondering if the portability, ease of use/setup of a 058B with the 400 (previously the 3263) tripod head would have any benefit over a majestic and majestic head.
I...
I was going to sue the geared head for the cameras that I use that do not offer geared movements. the sinar I use is a C2, which has the P2 rear standard/standard bearer, and the multipurpose...
i'm looking at a manfrotto 058b with 400 geared head, an 8018 majestic tripod, and a 5221 majestic tripod.
which would be the best for my uses? i want/need the geared head, and i'm saving up for a...
i don't have a stool myself. i would say a cheap one from ikea would be good.
ARGH!!!
SO EXPENSIVE!
really, my mint condition pacemaker (36-47 speed pacemaker, side RF) only cost $200
shipping was an additional $20
even had a flash and solenoid cord.
you can get a good...
i was going to give a guess and say it looks like a custom unit.
polaroid 55 mostly
instant slide film somewhat
color infrared film-greatly missing it!
the machanics look simple enough, its only tow metal discs for the shutter blades, any place with a CNC or laser cutter should be able to make them no problem.
mechanically, it's not a very complex...
