LOL, thanks for that great advice there Jim. Really appreciate everyone's input. Have a great weekend. Two week countdown to Christmas on now.
Oopsie, make that a Sirnor-N model 135mm.
Trying to decide which lens is the better of the two, a Rodenstock-Sirnor 135mm, or the Nikkor-W 135mm. Both sound like good lenses, so little time to decide, so many choices.
Checking to see if there is anyone in the Northern Virginia area that repairs/services Graflex cameras and lenses.
Looks as if Ace is strictly digital now, and Dominion only sells film, but no chemistry.
Does anyone know if there are any camera stores left in Northern Virginia that still sell B&W chemicals? Calumet/Penn is gone, most likely for good, and Richmond Camera no longer sells them. Guess...
Has anyone who ordered odd sized Ilford sheet film a few months back received their order yet? Just curious I placed my order through Midwest Photo, and was told that the film would be shipping in...
Thank you very much, R.J., and I thought that everything that we need to know can be found on the Web.

Does anyone have any suggestions for DIY flash reflectors? I am building a three bulb flash unit, and am open to any suggestions as to what I might use for reflectors. I was thinking about using...
Found one at Pacific Rim Camera. Includes a separate unit for Sylvania Superflash bulbs. Yes!! Waiting for the mailman to deliver it.
How much of a difference is there in an Ektar 152mm lens with a Supermatic shutter vs. one with a Graphex shutter? I have two of these lenses, each with one of these shutters.
I am considering purchasing a 10" Wollensak Tele-Optar lens to use on my 4x5 Graflexes. How is the image quality with a Tele-Optar? Has anyone on this list ever used one of these lenses, and if so...
Are there currently any dealers in the U.S. that are selling Meggaflash bulbs? I am particularly interested in the PF200 type bulb.
I checked out EBay, and found one Saltzman. From comparing the photos in the listing with the tripod that Mr. Link was standing behind it does appear to be a Saltzman. Also, there is a photo of him...
Thanks, David. I was looking at the same photo in that calendar, and was not quite certain as to the type of tripods that Saint Winston had his cameras attached to.
What model and type of tripods did O. Winston Link use for his N&W steam photography project? I seem to have read somewhere that he used Majestic brand tripods, but I am not really certain on this. ...
Quick question this morning. What is the shutter speed range for a Wollensak Raptar 10" lens?
Thanks to all for any answers.
When will Ilford have their special order period for 2011, Oren?
Does anyone know where I can now purchase 3x4 film since Film for Classics no longer sells directly to customers? Thanks for any and all information.
Does anyone know where I can find a 3x4 negative carrier for a Beseler 45 series enlarger? Is such a carrier even available?
Thanks in advance.
I recently purchased a Wollensak Tele-Optar 38cm lens. The lens must be a fairly modern version of this lens because it is coated, cannot tell if it is single or double coating, though. What I find...
I am looking for resources covering photography grants. Does anyone know where I can start looking? Tried searching Yahoo, but all I got was confused. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you repy Eric. Every once and awhile I do manage to miss one of our major news stories.
I just checked JandC's website to see if they had any updates as to when they would be re-opening for business. Their latest update was for May 12, and it stated that due to circumstances beyond...
My copy arrived in today's mail here in Woodbridge, VA. Something to read on the train trip home this evening. :-)
On Monday afternoon I called Jim at Midwest Photo Exchange and placed an order for a
150mm Nikkor-W lens. Jim had one in stock complete with lens board that I purchased.
About an hour or so later...
Does table top include table dancers? LOL Sorry, been one of those days at work.
I really enjoyed the Roy Stryker and ULF articles. The more I read about ULF, the more I want to give it a try. Those two Schneider XXL lenses and a 12x20 camera would be really nice to have, but I...
How about more articles for gearheads? Photos of things like steel mills, grain elevators, rolling mills, railroad facilities, trains, etc.
You are not the only person whom I have heard give less than complimentary remarks about Strauss, hmf. They would be my absolute last choice. There is family owned camera repair business in...
Does anyone know where I can send a Gossen-Luna Pro light meter for repairs? I live in Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C.
I checked with Fine Art Photo Supply and they do have a few twin packs of 5x7 holders in stock at this time. Also, have been looking on EBay for several days and offerings for 5x7's is kinda of thin...
Of course one the biggest questions in all of this is how long, provided that there is someone willing to buy the equipment, will it be before production can start up again.
Badger does list them on their website, but there is also a notation indicating that the 5x7's are out of stock. If this were late March or early April I would write all of this off as a really bad...
I do not know if this has been posted to this site or not, but if it has please excuse me for a duplicate post. For several days I have been trying to find 5x7 film holders. None of the stores with...
