Whats worse 2 mercury batteries in the land fill every 4 or 5 years or 30 of the zincs in the same time frame?:confused:
Fair enough I cant speak for the new 3021’s my only experience is with the one I own.
Hopefully they have fixed the lever problems I have experienced with the redesign used now.
Cheers

Thanks will do!
Thanks for the info .
I agree about the old instruments being brought to spec & made useful again!
This site rocks!
Anyone here have any experience with the Gossen adaptor?

Thanks I’ll give George a call!
Thanks for info!
Any Idea how to reach them & what they charge?
I googled Quality Light Metric & can’t find a website for them.:confused:
Thanks

I have a Gossen Luna Pro that I have had for probably 40 years.
Fortunately I stored it without the batteries in it.
I know that at the time I bought it was a considered great meter.
I understand...
Thanks Charley cool link!
In my case I need 5 of them that would be $60 + shipping.
I just cant justify spending that much money to retro fit this tripod with the aluminum levers that 5 have already broken :-(
But thanks...
I strongly recommend the Bogen/Manfrotto 3021 (now called the 055, I think) legs. They are the perfect match for the 3047 head. It is a classic and very common tripod setup for LF.
You see every...
Reinforce with carbon fiber? Who knew! I’ll check it out!
Well, I think you just made my point.
Yes, the levers work fine ( they clamp the leg in place firmly) except they break very easily.
You have had to replace the levers yourself..why because they...
OK so it seems that both the cast aluminum & the plastic levers are easily broken.
And expensive to replace @ $11.50 Each plus shipping from England. Ouch!
I think the problem is the material, cast...
I did.
All they have is the Plastic levers.:mad:
Thanks for the spelling correction Yes Bogen!

Hi I have a old Bogan 3021 tripod that was a gift from my father.
Anyone know where to get the “orginal” aluminum locking levers?
The Manafrotto replacement plastic levers cost $11.50...
@ G.A Thanks for a great post lots of good insight!
@ Jonathan thanks for the heads up I will check those cameras out!

Easy availability of parts is very important especially if I have only 1 or it's my LF primary camera.
I can’t see me dragging 2 view cameras out on a landscape shoot.
I plan to buy as soon I find...
Thats a good enough reason for to stay away from Horseman.

Is it a copyright violation to share info that is from 1973 & decades long out of print?
It isn’t as if MrFujicam is trying to sell him copies of the plans for profit.
As a old guy re-entring the world of LF I have been checking out my options for a 4X5 to shoot landscapes with.
Much to my delight I find cameras that in 1981 I could only dream of now with in my...

4x5 enlargers? Don't be surprised if you find them for give-way prices on Craig's List.
No kidding I found this on Cl for $30!
Now to find a camera to go with...
LOL! I used that dumb hippy with the big old camera....I guess now I am going to be that old guy with cool big old camera..:cool:
Great list!
Thanks to all for the info! I have so much to relearn!
30+ years is a long time to be away but I better do it now while I can still see & carry the gear!:o
Damn invalid email adress!
Worth an email Thanks!
Because some questions are timeless.
Toddlers still want to know where babies come from LOL!
The more things change the more they stay the same...
Thanks the hunt is on! Drawing up plans for my darkroom.
Drooling over cameras & lenses.
Thinking of stuff I can sell to by more LF stuff!
Suddenly digital is very boring!
Thanks Stone it is D5XL Chassis & mounting base with a universal DV condenser lamp house.
It is in pretty great shape overall but it is filthy & needs a serious realigning & restoration.

Cibachrome was the only way to print “Chromes" other than color separations.
If you shot with the goal of publication you shot chromes ....that was just the way it was back then.

Hi Martin
Says its a D5XL Chassis & a Universal DV Lamp house.
Hi a newbie here looking for a re-entry 4X5 outfit.
I know Sinar gear is Swiss made & was very expensive when new.

Now I am glad I have to wait!
Gives me time to learn before I just jump in & buy the...
