Thanks for the instructive answers... very helpful !

Brian... I deem the paper tongue as alluring because it is curled not sticking straight out!

Yippee!... the tongue is a lucky #7... so I have a few to play with.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Thank you for your suggestions, however, I prefer to ask here.

I have been digging through the 'stuff' that came with my speed graphic ... there is a Polaroid 405 film holder with paper tag sticking out in an alluring manner declaring itself to be Polacolor. ...

It is a sad that the mob has infiltrated the large format lens market..... don't anybody move or the Dagor gets it!!


& just a wee joke there Sal....

Thanks for the numbers Jim... yes the 240's were sizzling !!!

Won't see me on ebay... guess it is $1,000,000 OBO... is that against the forum rules?

I'm surprised no one has up-cycled these into some other incarnation... wonder if I can make something out of my 2... hmmmm... where's my butter knife.

Thanks Jim!

Klunk Klunk .... 1090 to the trash.... hmmmmm... wonder what other wonders I have around here ( cleaning out the studio... finally! )

Actually I am a highly regarded disorganization!

Are they now only suitable for the garbage bin??

I was hoping another reliable source would be the members of the forum!

Jon ... thanks!

I am preparing to sell some cameras & lenses and in my attempt to determine rational pricing I am encountering some serious discrepancies in the interpretations of lens value... to the extent of 10x...

That is why I am staying home this summer! French, Mystic, China, Sombrio, Sand Cut... all great beaches in my neighborhood... super low tides usually early morning near month end in the summer......

Come and visit me on Vancouver Island and do some beach shooting :)

Superb format!!

I have both the 7x11 & 8x10 backs for mine. My 8x10 back is actually 2 pieces the actual back and an adapter 'frame' looks like a very simple build... let me know if you need...

Sal...Exactly what I needed to know... Thanks!

More than you ever wanted to know about fog here... interesting that in some circumstances fog does not effect the image in a uniform blanket.

Here is a clip of Richard Benson discussing Strand... Benson is a master printer and did the limited editions for Aperture Foundation and some of Strand's portfolios in Strand's...
