In Photoshop, you can chose which algorithm will process the image when you change it's size. Adobe recommends "bicubic" as producing the best quality. This is true when the image is made larger or...

Hi Jonathan!
Thanks for the trouble! I have found a tool to convert your inches measurments into milimeters, and the results prove that we are contemplating another species of that enigmatic lens!...
that's the one if it decides to show up...
Hi, wanting confirmation that the lens I have in my hot little hands (all black version engraved "Multicoating" on the front rim) has been mismatched with the rear element of another Tele-Arton...
Hi Barry,
How many? Well, one would probably suffice unless you recommend putting two? (sorry couldn't resists!) :)
Would you have a metric 60xM.9 retainer for a Compound #3? If so please...
Hi Barry,
Certainly not! Not even for the $80 that a large custom made retainer costs. But if the hole is tight and the job well done, I see no reason why this should happen. And most lenses have...
Paul,
Yes that's a very good idea! I was reluctant to oiling the threads but did not think of using teflon tape which is of course much better and more secure.
Thanks!
Some years ago I saw this stuff advertised at the local DIY store, but now that I need it it has disappeared from all hardware stores! Does someone know about this plastic that comes in pellets and...
Interesting idea, but it won't work that way. Imagons are especially designed to produce a diffusing effect by some optical aberrations (spherical aberration I believe but I could be wrong). The...
Thanks Mike, I have seen it but I would need the table of correspondence of light fallof with focal length, for I suspect that this is not a constant aperture design. If someone has it, it would be...
Would anyone have a a shot of the table or an explanation for the different markings on the Tele-Peconar 500-1000 barrel?

Way too long for a CCD! I remember now that the Super Angulon 5,6 used with a single element was producing something interesting. Not exactly what I am looking for though. But I doubt I could mount...
Just curious, are the Universal Heliars available in short focals, around 100mm ?
Thanks for the suggestions. I guess there is place for experimentation there! BTW, I didn't know the Heliars were such lenses.
This is not specific to large format, but it's a fun project and maybe someone will come with an idea. I like the effect I get when I attach a +1 diopter to my Nikon 2,8 80-200. Between 180 and 200mm...
I'm not a color guru, but I can identify with your disappointment more than I wished. One question that is often overlooked is to know what settings will be used by the printer to convert the RGB...
I was going to ask the same question on another forum! For me 77 or 72 mm. Thanks!
>What the heck will you be shooting with a 35mm lens? My 65mm is gathering dust in the closet, because I find it so absurdly wide.
You have to think 120 film with those lenses. A 65mm on 6x7...
The way I went was to get two adapters for the Technika boards. I have a flat one for the usual lenses and a 40mm recessed adapter for the 65mm and 47mm. The flange to film distance can be set as...
Scott, I have had no problem with stabillity using the Fujinon C 450 mounted on a 10cm Wista extension tube. On the other hand, anything heavier (I used the Fujinon T 600 weighing 1kg!) was a waste...
Tim, thanks!
The website works but for some reason the content of the pages is shifted to the right.
I found these products:
http://www.secol.co.uk/COLOURVIEW.SHTML open two sides (they do...
Thanks! Yes it does help. I wish I knew if the sleeves furnished by the lab are archival or not. It is a material that seems strong but tears easily once a cut is started. The mylar sleeves are no...
Manuel, make sure that you are inserting the film the proper way. There is a release button on the side. To remove a properly inserted film, you need to push the release button left, grasp the...
Thanks for the extensive description and links! Maybe I should ask the manufacturers what the composition of their product is, as suggested. But of course, the products evolve and my stock is for...
Polyester should be better than any other material I guess for it is the base for film itself. It is also thin and light compared to polyethylen. This should suit my paranoia, I'm just sick with the...
Is there any risk with metal boxes like the ones sold in DIY stores, IKEA, or with biscuit boxes? The lid closes pretty tight, I don't know if this is a plus or if films need to breathe. I would...
Thanks Tim. Great resource thanks to Mr Wilhelm, I couldn't find the chapter end: "In short" though. ;-)
Polypropilene seems to be trustworthy. Found nothing on cardboard film boxes but I have to...
I just sold one of the recent DO Tessar 4,5 210mm in Copal 3. I used that lens for table tops when I needed confined sharpness and a blurred background. It was crisp even wide open and covered enough...
The question was asked recently for negatives, and I think I know that slides behave differently.
For the time being, I have had some of my slides in Panodia or Herma sheets, but most are still in...
Interesting to see the prices then! I came across a pay check established in that year a few years ago. A monthly wage for a worker with bed, board and laundry done was around DM 100 equivalent! ...
Another look at the Schneider website has confirmed that the lens is tight on 8x10 but will cover. Image circle is 312mm at f16.
I have an old Tele-Xenar 360 on Compound for which I couldn't find a retaining ring at a decent cost (intl. shipping is prohibitive). I cut a 1cm wide strip of thin hard cardboard, made two turns...
Thanks Thomas. I thought it would cover 8x10 but you are right about 5x7. I bought it at a bargain price too in a buy it now auction, kept it for a couple of years, used it a bit for landscapes with...
A quick try onto the wall show an image circle of at least 40cm for the 800 and 1200. If you are shooting color, you might run into color fringing though beyond the specified image circle. However,...
I typed it wrong! It is a 500mm !
Sorry : (
How much should I have asked for a mint Tele-Xenar 5,5 800mm in the 10,695,xxx range? (It is sold already)
Does this lens cover 8x10 well?
One more detail: I have seen some recent multicoated Tele-Artons 270 5,5. They are probably not the same design as the older ones, are they? I would supect that they require a longer extension, just...
Thanks again, Henry.
If someone has it, I would be interested in knowing if the Tele-Xenar 270 f:5,5 differs from it's Tele-Arton counterpart. Apart from the design with one more element for the...
