As much as I recall, Type 55 and 665 were not produced entirely by Polaroid itself.
Parts of the film assembly came from third party companies, (that have been dismantled by now) and were then put...

As Paul mentions, the difficulty with old lenses is to figure out if you have to calculate from the aperture or flange plane.

I have tried the following calculator (see link). It has come pretty...

There was a thread about front mounting of a sinar shutter:

Thanks guys!

Hi,
is there any risk of fluid mounting pyro stained negs on drum scanners?
Could the solvents cause any harm/mess to the stain?

Sidney

You're basically looking for a simple concentration of your light source.
Maybe you could try one of those large reading loupes, off focus.

Botanical gardens, Rio de Janeiro, shot with a Petzval.

Excellent 'Intermezzo' of this thread, Joseph, thank you!

Nice to see that members also use their lenses, and not only talk about them.

Sidney

It all ends up to one question:
Do you shoot, or do you collect.

What I haven't used in the past 12 months, I sell.

I have a Graflex RB and had the back modified to accommodate an international sinar back, yes, sinar. It works well, wasn't very difficult to mount and didn't cost a fortune.

Sidney

I'm happy for you!
Don't get too dizzy! ;)

It's mainly a matter of camera to subject focus distance as well as the following out of focus distance to the background.

If you manage to disassemble the rear part, you can try to inverse the...

If possible, you could try to carefully disassemble the rear glass elements from their housing. Some manufacturers wrote their brand and/or name on the side (rim) of the glass with a pencil.

If we all keep shooting more than worrying,

Simple law of demand=production.

A 'masterful' reply!

As you state correctly, words are just words, the interpretation or 'translation', being purely subjective.

In silver times, nobody asked for their technique, chemicals or paper used, thus, only their names were relevant.

What would you need, film or holders?
Film will probably more a problem, than holders...
But I doubt you'd find holders in any store these days.

Forget the Nikonos, but do take the RF645.

Have fun!

Isn't that a bit what's happening?

Hi Sandy
It's me all right.

Sidney

A quality factor I personally like about 'non-ink jets':
Hand made.

Sidney

What is quality of an image?
To me, there are three major elements involved (in order of importance)
-What you see (object)
-How you see it (your interpretation)
-The way you show it (medium)
...

K3 or K4?
Terms change fast these days...

Ink Jet, I agree.
What's wrong with it?
If you care about the quality of your image, why bother with it's term?

First time I ever heard of a flat bed camera...
Maybe there will be a drum field camera soon...?

?
Please explain.

Move up in what?
Size, or quality?

You should make a test print with the 3 units in question.
Compare, and you will have your answer.

Of the 3 options you named, I'd go for the inkjet.

Happy Haloween!

I've received the response of Hugo regarding mounting of the Linhof viewfinder:
No go.

I guess the only way is, to figure out one yourself.

I have called Hugo last week to ask this same option.
He is checking with the company that supplies the viewfinder, as well with the one that builds his cameras, to check if there is a way to attach...

Why don't you contact the company?
They ship international:

Thanks Ken.
I had to opt for this solution since I'm shooting 'only' 4x5, and therefore no way to get the sinar shutter close to the front standart of my folding.
Regarding the iris, yes,...

Certainly a less elegant solution, but it works well:
front mount of the shutter.
I had a custom made adapter machined, that screws into the rear of the sinar shutter.
With custom adapter rings,...
