That helps. sort of that I was afraid of (and how I remember Crown Graphics I used to own). The extruding tip must be soldered to the tip at the end of the tube and it has broken off. Just a small...

I have two of these cameras, one in very good condition and one not so good. Both have the RF cam but neither will RF focus. There is a tube that runs from the inside of the case camera bed to the...

I'm an old guy (>60) and I often go downtown (Wilmington, NC) to play with a bunch of my really old, never worth much cameras. I'm always amazed at the attention, but more amazed at the number of...

3-D printers and the associated software are relatively cheap today. For under $20K startup he can be turning out backs lickety split. It's a new world out there.

I used to sell on eBay and then quit because of unscrupulous buyers and eBay policies towards sellers. However recently I sold a Leica M8.2. The fees were eBay - 10.4%, PayPal 5.8%, free shipping...

Unfortunately this isn't true. While it seems more likely if you use USPS or FedEx it can also occur using regular mail. There is no custom fee coming into the US from overseas on personal goods. ...

I have a digital kitchen timer that I bought at Goodwill 15 or 20 years ago. Has three timers and beeps at the end. So one for developing, one for fix and one for wash.

Having said that, I start...

I was never any good at spotting negatives. Now that we have digital I scan them and fix them with software.

Talk about timely articles. Being a world class procrastinator I took my 45ax screen apart a year or so ago to replace the Fresnel (I had scratched it badly) and finally got around to trying to put...

It isn't the weight of the camera ( camera doesn't weight much more than my Toyo), it's the tripod and everything else. I've been looking at tripods and it's jst too much money for now.

I really like this camera, a 5x7 contact print is (IMHO) the best next to a 11x17. Never liked the 8x10 format. 4x5 you can crop and enlarge. The outfit (with tripod) just keeps getting heavier...

Holders & 2 lens board (plus the 4x5 back) but the lens I keep for my 4x5.

104 lookers and no one has any idea! somebody must have an opinion!

What's a 5x7 Deardorf worth?

Does $750 sound reasonable?

I'm thinking seriously about selling my 5x7 camera but I have no idea what to ask. Don't want to put it on fleabay to find out either. It's called a "Prinzdorf", made in India and I think it's a...

Those are excellent questions but I never see them answered. Poster was looking for guidance not questions. I just threw my Epson printer away because the ink always dried out after sitting for a...

I have a Voigtlander Prominent with the 50/1.5 Nokton. Beautiful camera, beautiful lens and just about impossible to take a picture with. Nobody could design a more un-user friendly camera if they...

My wife had something similar for drying clothes, except round and all plastic and has a big hook to hang it from anything. Holds about 12 sheets. Also holds all types of film conveniently. Been...

I used a BIG pair of channel locks and a hammer. Still took a lot of force to get it free!!

Thanks for all the replies. My freezer was no where big enough to put it in, but that sounded like the...

That's exactly what I did. Guess I was looking for confirmation I was doing it right. No matter how tight I make the pan control the head won't unscrew. Before I use brute force (with channel...

Stuck good I would say. Do I try a pipe wrench?

I have a Bogen 3033 tripod with a 3047 head. Had it for decades and while it is as strong as ever I ain't. I want to remove the 3047 head to save weight but can't figure how to get if off. There...

Thanks, that's the kind of info I need.

Chy, instead of mailing the acetate why don't you just trace it on paper and I can copy it. Or if your prefer to mail it send me an email and I'll send you...

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, the instructions would be nice. My email is beemermark@hotmail.com. The Toyo ground glass is permanently etched for 6x7 and 6x9.

Need some advice on the Calumet Roll Film Holder, the one that slips in like a film holder. I had one of these a long, long time ago but could never really see any sense in shooting 120 in a 4x5...

I want to extend this thread a little. I recently moved and no longer have room for a darkroom large enough for my 4x5 enlarger. I can scan up to 4x5. I would like a B&W printer good enough to...

I lived in a very nice neighborhood, well lite and patrolled. Driveway was hidden by tall bushes. One night I got home late and, not even thinking about it, left a camera bag with a Leica M7 and a...

The answer is I need to focus on the GG. I kind of thought so but I wasn't sure. Since only one eye uses the loupe I'll use the eye that's good for near vision.

THANKS

OK this isn't a newbie question but I just had Lasik surgery in one eye and now don't know which eye to use to focus on the ground glass.

I've had 20/200 vision all my life (I'm 57). Of course...
