Well it's a bit sad that no one in Jobo did take the time to scan the book and make it public domain, I did a second test after replacing the Schaffner with a new one from Mouser electronics and...

Hi I am back in LF photography, opening the boxes and trying to set a photo-lab. I have a brand new old stock Jobo ATL 2000 but no instruction manual, no repair manual and it would be great
if...
I am now searching for an Arca swiss/sinar lens board converter because I am looking forward to use my canon 5DII on the back of my hybrid and I have the 4X5 sinar to canon adapter! I do have a sinar...
Hello, I have done the same thing over a year ago, I removed some useless junk from the sinar shutter and screwed it on a sinar norma lens plate (because they are the same size but flat). I had to...
LOL, I guessed it..and burned a few polaroids!
I have to do more test when it's correctly mounted on the sinar, it needs lots of bellow, I guess it's a 16 inch focus..
Hello Jim, the aperture ring has a series of numbers, from 9 to 45, they are the size of the aperture in mm, but how can I know exactly the focal by mesuring the lengh to ground glass since it is a...
It does shoot nice in colors!
Exemple ..notice the blue Halo around the edges..
Looks like mine..Ok I tried the back lens with two different position, flat side towards the front, more diffused, flat site towards the back was the way it was when I got it, like every lens it's...
Today I ran a test on the lens, focal goes from 12 to 19 inches/ F6 to F9 maximum aperture, since I used it on my arca I had the bellow very streched, not a 4x5 lens.
As it goes in color what you...
Looks like a big petzval..have you opened it to get a close look, pritty anyway!
So mystery gets deeper, the lens functions like the landscape one, what looks like a focusing knob is actually changing the distance between the two simple elements :D
The range is 45 mm and there...
Found this excellent article..

Today I learned a bit more about "chemical focus" and I am going to try to make it more understandable here.
Chemical focus is just a name even if it sounds your film or plate are going to catch...

That's what I mount my medium sized lens on, arca swiss view camera with a double bellow and a custom fit sinar shutter, and in this an eidoscope bought in France from an antic dealer, like new in...
Thanks, massive it is but not so bad, the only lens I can't mount is the 480 mm Nicola perscheid triplet, this one is for wood camera only!

Hello dear friends, I am the one who purchased that lens, I do believe I got it for a very decent price, the $$ is cheap and my babe broke my heart, a man needs to recover the way he can (my bank...
Hello, I often find my newly purchased lenses to be dirty and foggy, sometimes even with fungue, when the lens has been kept in a box it's no better since it's keeps the humidity. It is not dramatic....
The inside lens..
Voilą, the two front and back lens are shown and the middle one is hidden between the aperture blades..It's a beast, to big to be mounted on a sinar, it needs a studio wood camera..
i did send the photos to Jim and yes it is a triplet, :p
Hello, yesterday I noticed that the german artsy kid who purchased my first vintage sale, an english TTH 6 inch petzval already had bought 5 or 6 more strange lenses, as for me it's a long list,...
Jim it is a Triplet and next time I am in my country blues house I will perform some home made surgery and show you an inside view!
Three large glass air spaced!
Yes I am curious about that lens but I was smart enough to put the 8X10 camera apart for a rebuild and it's still in a box (shame on me).
Hello, If any of you cares I have the nicola perscheid triplet model, 480 mm F 4.5 it's a beast and it doesn't look cheap, the build is just amazing but I never had a chance to try it yet !
Maybe I...

I must agree with JIM, got a mint 12 inch Heliar and an "Brand new second hand in box" 10 inch Hermagis portrait F3, both on line for less than 200 USD, it's kinda an addiction, hard to let them go...
..Besides I have to mention the Soft Focus/Bokeh..Short depth of field effect that we mostly love in portraits and the main reason why I prefer a 10 inch/240mm lens for head and shoulders portrait...
My Hermagis arrived and it happens to be "the hermagis eidoscop" 10 inch portrait lens coated in perfect mint shape, can't wait to try it..:)
Interesting thread..What about "the two brothers that were collecting the lens but never used them" it's like treasure island for LF! There are more sellers than the two named above..obviously there...
