Due to the lack of interest I’ve decided to cancel my trip to the wrecking yard. Maybe some other time.

Michael

Well it's less than a week away. Any one else interested? Snuck, are you in? Do you need a ride again?

Michael

I'm going back to the wrecking yard from the Ontario L.F. get-together on September the 23rd. Any one up for the adventure? Hopefully those who couldn't make it to the last one can make it to this...

Hi Paul

Sorry to hear you had such a 'weird' weekend with the MTO. Hope it all turned out ok.

There where 4 others beside my lady and my self. It was a hot day out there in the yard with lots...

How many people will be meeting up at Warden Subway station? Wouldn't want to leave any one behind. I will be driving a white Ford pickup truck with a cap on the back.

Michael

Hi every one. I just got back from talking to the owner of the yard, he's OK with us going there this coming Saturday. I just sent out the directions to the wrecking yard to all who asked for them....

Sorry for not emailing the directions as I promised. I want to confirm with the owner that he will be there next Saturday and have been unable to contact him by phone. I would hate to lead every one...

I will be emailing the directions to every one early next week. Please make sure you have your email address in your profile or PM it to me.

Hi Snuck

You are in for a place in my truck. See you then.

Michael

Is anyone interested in going out as a group to photograph an old auto wrecking yard? It is an older wrecking yard with many cars from the 40's, 50's and on. There is also a river with an old mill...

I can't say anything about the Compur but I've cleaned a couple of Ilex #3's with lighter fluid. The Ilex shutters are wonderfully simple and can be disassembled and cleaned very easily with only a...

I do Tri-x in Pyrocat HD at 2:2:100 for 7:30 for printing on enlarging paper. Plus or minus 15% for n+/-. I don't try to push or pull any more than that, it may work, I just havn't tried it.

Hi Joe

We must have past each other today. It was a pretty mixed bag of stuff today. I saw one 8x10, a very tired Calumet. One that I had a hard time passing up was a 13cm x 18cm Goertz Tenax,...

“why is it not recommended I use tray development (I have a "Slosher")?”

The reason Pyrocat wasn’t recommended for stand and semi-stand development in trays is that Sandy King had problems...

Thank you Paul and Emmanuel.

Why? Well I have a Protar lens set in a barrel that I've been using for a couple of years. For a while now I’ve wanted to mount this lens in a shutter to make it...

How criticul is the position of the aperture between the lens cells? Does it have to be on the nodal point or would 1 or 2 mm in either direction mater that much?

Michael

Hi John

I signed up for Sandy's workshop and D.M. Kennedy's palladium workshop the fallowing week. See you in Montana.

Michael

Thank you all for your answers. Especialy Beau, the f. stops really baffeled me. I was thinking of mounting the other lens I got in the same auction lot, a 12'' Velostigmat series II f4.5 and the...

Jon

Have you used yours? If so how did you set the aperture. How did the image look?

Michael

Last weekend I picked up a Wollensak Beach Multi-Focal series A, focus 12” No. 54 at a local auction. It looks like it might be a portrait lens. The rear cell has concentric waves on the inner...

Hi Ted

I use this lens on an 8x10. It has enough room for the modest movements I use (e.g. Landscapes). This lens is the newest lens I use and I find it to be a very sharp lens all the way to the...

Thank you all for your replies; I think Andrew set me on the right path. I’ve done a number of searches of these and other archives and all the descriptions point toward the B&L triple being a...

Ernest and Jim; There isn’t any writing on the lens sells. The barrel on the shutter reads “TRIPLE CONERTIBLE” and barely legible “11 In… f.8”. I have two Zeiss Protars lens sets; Protarlinse VII...

I have two lenses that I can’t find the answers to some question that I have about them.

The first is a 165mm f6.8 angulon in a compur shutter. The serial number dates it to 67/68. My question is,...
