I have just received the 18º camera. I live & work in Shanghai, China & it seems I have purchased the last ever camera that was in stock. I got completely black version with 2 cams (I have sent my...

Template or prototype is good translation for Muster for sure. (i am interested in Luftwaffe & it shows up in the documents very often...)

Amazing lens Hugo!! I am very Photo-Envy! :)

Did you...

Longest Xenotar I've heard of is 21cm, but we could all be proven wrong... Do you have any photos Viktor?

Dear all,

As we all know it is very hard to lay one's hands onto well-preserved 5x7 (and other formats) slotted holders for our bellowed Graflex cameras

So I came to an idea to try and convert...

Here I am, raising this topic from the dead...
Hope you don't mind guys?

I was just checking Ernemann's Anastigmats & all I can find are:

1) (our beloved) Ernostar (f1.8, f2.0, f2.7)

2)...

Do we know by now who has purchased the lens and if the lens was tested?
I would love to see some examples shot with it.

Hello
It was Westlicht or something like that. I was standing away from it being afraid I could bid on it and I am not really in great situation to do it currently since I need to upgrade one of my...

Carl Zeiss Jena Ernostar 1.8/24cm just sold on an auction for 7800€ + 20% auction fee. I just didn't have enough money to go for it, although this is probably the Nº1 lens I am dreaming about.

Hey Pierre!

It was amazing to read & see what you have done to bring this camera back to life!

Did you receive in the meantime the drawings for the adjusting lens plates too?

I would LOVE to...

Optically, there is no difference & no problem for doing it as you did

Few of them should be on my Flickr too. (On a holiday in HongKong so unable to search them now :( Sorry)

Thanks Richie!
Will check the PDF now.

Emil - i am using lot's of 35mm projection lenses & shoot 4x5 & 5x7 with them all the time. Its just a question what's the formula of P-5 (AFAIK P-4 is...

Hi,

I am wondering if any of you have tested LOMO П-5 (P-5) F=180 1:2 lens so far & if it does cover 4x5 format?

Is it a petzval formula as I've heard & is it coated (single / multi)?

If you...

I found Imago paper in Shanghai, China! Will buy a box of 8x10 and shoot some next time i go to photo market.
DO you rate your paper rather as 3 or 6 ISO (after the preflash)?
And one silly...

I was thinking the same. I just ordered 120 glass plates 4x5 on black glass, cut here in Shanghai by the guy and delivered to my door for 30+US$. If I ask them to smoothen the edges it cost another...

Maybe making a PDF & posting a PDF would be an option?

Hey Stone,
I started with the Large format quite recently. I have plenty of Nudes in 35 / MF (and Polaroid 3x4 format) but none of it falls into LF category. On the other hand (as you can maybe see...

So classical & so beautiful. Bravo Brandon!

Hey Tony, We are living in the world where information is more freely travels... where taboos are removed... where people are getting a bit more of the personal freedom... and on top of that medicine...

And I have to admit - you do it very well :) Will try to do it on some of my old expired polaroids too :) Thanks for inspiration

Few days ago I have asked a question if one of your solarized images was an accident or it was done on purpose, and now I believe that the series to which the above photograph belongs answers this...

After meeting you & Jimmy here in Shanghai recently, I grow to love this shot even more Alex!

Simply stunning Brandon! I love how freckles are enhanced on WetPlate & X-Ray films.

I think I've commented this before - but once again - AMAZING! Wish there were more shots flying around that work on levels of social & (sub)culture stories as much as beauty. It's amazing to see an...

Hey David,
is there some site or page where I can check all your typology shots made so far? I am shooting very similar project for last 3-4 years called "Close Ones - Up Close". I am also planning...

Love you shots Frank! So unpretentious. So real. One feels like he knows the girl which gives the warmth the shot.




And these two are for sure continuing the mood of the one with the canvas....

Love your two shots Gandolfi, especially the one shot from behind. I am using the light painting technic quite a bit in my commercial photography (especially when I shoot F&B) and started a series...

Hey Dan,
Love this little series. I love the shots that are strong on it's own but I am always somehow happy to see a rounded up series or a complete "project".
Also, it's true that some of the...

I really like the shot Dave. Hope you have continued shooting more of similar images after this...

Great shot Anatoly!
If one would look swiftly, he could say it's very classical, almost a nude study, until he notices the detail next to the edge which gives it completely different, much more...

Today, with some free time on hands I've started going through some of the treads and accumulated "albums" here in sharing forum and now after one or two hours of passing through the images, I have...

As I've already told you on Flickr or Instagram - this shot is simply amazing Braco! Way to go!

Was the solarization induced by your or it happened on it's own by some process? Love the way they look!

Such a beautiful shot!

It is really strange to see that so few people shoot this material here on the forum!?

Hey Nicolas, Liking your shot!
I was thinking this morning about shooting something very similar for myself... Basically, I am preparing the Cambo Maxiportrait with a RangeFinder & was thinking to...

Dave, Did you purchase & done the conversion in the meantime?

Finally landed my hands on one of them BROKEN Big Shots, Ed! Gonna be cutting it soon and making it into a RF for my MaxiPortrait :)

Sounds awesome. Thanks RedShift! The back I might be getting is non metering back and it comes with appropriate bellows which makes me happy :)

Have to just sit & decide if I should keep the F2...

Ed,

Yes, Big shot is one of my fav cameras out there! I shoot with it all the time. I am continuously looking to purchase one more for this purpose but I cannot justify 70$ for a finder (20-30$...
