There's an announcement about the problem on the Chamonix website:

With all the digital hype, people are sometimes willing to let go off their LF stuff for throwaway prices to get into digital.

I got back into LF earlier this year when I was offered a deal I ...

Mohammad, you can go to http://www.photo.net/community/forums, and select "General Photography forum"; there is a "Career/Business" section with a lot of information about the subject.

Dave,

The Symmar 300mm is the 300/500mm convertible. Apparently, most, if not all lenses named Symmar are convertible (I now the 150, 180, 210 ,240, 300 and 360mm are). Schneider later...

Check www.schneideroptics.com (knowledge : vintage lens data : large format lenses : symmar).

Linhof offered something similar. The Linhof Praxis book (1958) shows some accessories which turn a Technika into an enlarger. It consisted of a cold light adapter and a baseboard with column. The...

Olli, yes, your assumption is correct. I had the Sinaron SE 150mm myself (before I foolishly sold my LF kit,being under the illusion I would be better of with medium format; switched back to LF a...

Yes, the weight surprised me too. But that's what it says: 13 kilograms,not 13 pounds. And I thought my Cambo Legend 4x5" (6 kilograms) was heavy! In the Linhof books I've seen,these cameras are...

Another vote for the long side of the format as a reference. A 150mm is like a 45mm when you compare it this way. If you take the sort side of the format,it's like a 40mm.

In 35mm, I'm not too...

The Linhof Praxis book (1958) gives the following data on the Kardan Color 8x10: weight 13 kilograms, maximum extension 555mm, minimum extension 50mm, rise 80mm, fall 40mm (both standards); shift:...

I agree about the vulnerability-when-under-a-darkloth. A couple of years ago, when I was taking a picture of a building in the centre of Antwerp, someone stole my 5? Minolta meter attachment out of...

There are probably enough people who want all their lenses to be from the same brand or country, so they will choose one of the other slow 90's. Also, Nikon doesn't bother to advertise their...

Ha ha ha! I bought the 1958 edition,in decent condition, for about 10 US $ a couple of weeks ago! Bidding closed at 250 $... LOL

Some more info: Hailu, you're right about the driving instead of hiking to the location. I recently bought a Cambo Legend,which,as I explained in my previous post, isn't that much different from...

The Cambo SCX can be considered either as a 45NX with geared shift and a much more solid monorail,or as a Cambo Legend without the geared rise mechanism. The weight should be somewhere between...

Aaron, thank you very much for the suggestion. I tried it myself today (one sheet of TMX 100 in Rodinal 1+50), and it came out perfect!

The Sinar F models I've seen lack the angle calculator of the F1/F2. They do have the depth-of-field calculator. The difference between the F and the F1 is mainly cosmetic, like the difference...

Thanks everyone for contributing an answer. I've come across a couple of books about studio photography that recommend the 240mm too. Today, I bought the camera, and it seems I've scored an amazing...

I too experienced the XTol failure (1 litre package,was caked, but I didn't knew about the consequeces of that at the time). I find myself using the "ancient" stuff more and more, not only...

I am being offered a LF kit consisting of the following items: Cambo Legend 2 wi th Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-N 240mm, Manfrotto TriAut tripod with Super Pro head, 545 polaroid holder and 10 Fidelity...

The HP Marketing website announced the "new Linhof Kardan M" in november 1999 ; when I compared the specs and especially the picture on the website, it appeared to be a Kardan E under a new...
