Old thread, I know, but I'm looking for a more reliable cable release than my original Sinar.
It's grown rather cranky and only fires at a certain angle and distance.
This stubby one from China...

Of course, this is all academic since my dark secret is to have a good soft focus on my digital Hassy.
Still waiting on some new parts to replace the two tiny Nikon extension tubes (vignetting...
There's only so much time in a day, portraits are so exhausting, I'd prefer still life or landscape... it's those genres that got me fired up in the first place.
I must admit, there is so much...
This short and rather simple sentence seems to "unpack" a great deal (IMHO) of difference in how the lens functions.
Around 1920 (?) Verito lenses were redesigned and the new formulation offered...
I have owned and used both. Unless there is a need to see better (f/4.5), they perform the same. It's one reason the f/8 is generally more expensive than other slower lenses of the same focal lengths.

So, after years of ownership, I finally got around to to testing the differences between the configuration of both lens elements vs "rear only" on my 7.25" Verito.
I was a little surprised to see...
I'd love to see some examples. Mine is 9.5" Wolly Velostigmat with variable diffusion.
After a few years of inactivity, I've got several slow or sticky shutters that need to be brought back to specifications. Flutot's is asking $160-200 for the CLA, which is almost equal to the price...
A couple of ideas to share. The lens aperture is a partner in the overall effect. I found (for me) that somewhere between f/5.6 and /8 was the limit of the desirable softness. I usually left mine at...
Ok, back from a short trip and the first day of the semester's classes. I want to thank everyone for their contribution to the conversation.
Ed, I'm sending a PM. MANY thanks.
Ed, do I need the rear protection ring on while it's inside the camera body?
I see the setscrew and think our lab tech might be able to get it off, but the "removing of metal" on the ring is...
My panel is very different, it appears there is a difference in the panel's opening ...it's smaller on my unit.
I found a manual with a similar lens panel (don't known the published date), but it lists the 47xl lens. So I'm even more confused as to what I have.
Aha, plot thickens. Somehow, in the back of my mind I knew this wouldn't be that simple. Hate it when I'm right. :p
Thanks.
Dan, If you can see the light pencil marks in images 2 & 3, you can see how far outside of the lens panel opening the 47mm xl rear element extends. As I try to focus closer, the lens in the helical...
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I purchased a 47mm XL after finding a 470 Cambowide panel to fit onto a Cambowide frame. I can barely get it mounted, but the lens' rear element is too close to...

nice....
Here are two different articles and a critique on Manifestations… both show a wide variety of images from an exhibition of his work. The quote on Lenscratch is good as a reference too. The critique,...
Guess I didn't read my email when this was posted. Love it, so much sensation in the textures represented. I'm finding that my earlier images of the sand dunes are more interesting to me now with...
I'm back, mostly to say how much I appreciate a meditative thread like this and how it adds to my experience as a photographer. The work I had already considered last fall bore some fruit and I made...
This is probably the first image that got me to thinking about those external references. ...a way to indicate the writing of time by the forces in the landscape. For awhile, it was all I wanted to...
I promised myself that I would read every page of this lovely thread before wading in with my own contribution… I failed in that effort. I simply couldn't wait to nudge into the mix, as I find the...
vdonovan ...Really nice. I'm experience with the Kodak x-ray film (not Fuji) and it has some serious inherent contrast. Did you shoot this with a low lighting ratio? The shadow side is lovely…...
Very nice, fits right in with all the collodion work appearing these days. …and just as unpredictable I'd guess.
There are many excellent answers above that compare price (which is huge if you are really serious about the craft, but poor), process, and vision, etc.
I'd add there are simply images that only...

just found this thread, so here's my opinion: (and worth less than 2 cents) ;)
I love my Wista SP, and it was only after several wooden cameras that I made the switch to that system (first a 45D...
I'm trying to avoid driving two cars to the event... girlfriend needs to return Saturday evening... SO, if anyone is heading towards Detroit after the shindig and has room for me (a carry-on size bag...
late to the party, but my 9-1/2 Velostigmat Series II is the most utilitarian lens I've owned, with the fuzzolater removed I have oodles of soft goodness, and stopped down it's VERY SHARP, and it...
I have a Sinar Shutter and the appropriate cable release... BUT, it seems the "cap" that you push with your thumb has unscrewed and lost itself god-knows-where.
Anyone know of a possible solution...
Darkroom, with the ability to scan and print... but little digital printing done except for enlarged negatives for contact printing large alt-process prints.
Well, Jay, regardless of what you think, I posted a photograph, which is what is supposed to be shared and discussed in this thread. No? Care to play? Care to post a nude? Or is it words you prefer?...
I had a rare bit of extra time today and decided to follow some threads here on LFPF, this was one that I was curious about. Originally I thought I might post some of my experiments from the last...
Russ, try Lumiere photo... they're filling the void left by the once-but-not-now-reliable Light Impressions

(and I'm told they have several former LI staff)
I decided to read parts of the forum today other than the "for sale" section.... look what I've been missing!

8x10 Ilford Warmtone paper neg.
Found this poor starling months after he'd gotten into the building where I (infrequently) shoot tabletop images and died. :(

excellent sharing and info...
do you have the part numbers handy?
I love SS, but their catalog is daunting to browse through.... fatigue sets in about 20 pages deep. ;)

Nice series, Jim.
Looking at the grain I'm wondering if you are using fp4 with Rodinal again or are you capturing with a digital back?
I'm with Frank.
