But don't wash a Deardorff GG.

I bought a p30 s3s tripod and a 43f head. for my wife's birthday, anniversary and Mother's day. (When you get older that's the sort of thing you do)
It's a great piece of travel kit. She was happy...

Well, I have the Arsat 30mm and the Hartblei 45 super rotator for a Contax 645 and think them fine lenses. they were what took me to your posts and I enjoyed reading them.

No one has said any thing about the east European lens makers; I found this.
Interesting in several ways

as ken said a second ago.
In addition the colour of the final print changes with heating the developer, as well as other characteristics

I think what Paul is referring to is chromatic aberration, which in Panchromatic film would lead to an overall defocussing of the image rather than a focus shift (as the different wavelengths of...

If the object is to use the Packard shutter, you could build it in a box and attach ordinary 4x5 lens boards front and back to the shutter box. then mount it between two 4x5 standards on the front of...

I have an earlier one with a built in focussing mechanism, but no you can't really see the elements move, the way a Universal Heliar moves. You can perhaps see a bubble or the side of the lens move...

PS: I think Karsh's 1938 camera is an Agfa Ansco.

I agree with trying to not fill the frame; leave room for cropping, to accomadate the side to side movement.
And use more light and a smaller f stop to allow more depth of field to accomadate the...

Karsh started off with a camera from John Powis's studio, unlikely to have been as modern a camera as a Deardorff. By 1938 Karsh had switched to the white camera shown in the second reference.

Thats just marvellous. I am very pleased for you.

You have peaked my interest.

It is an excellant piece of kit for contact printing; after all a 1/4 inch of glass will certainly keep things together. Just not for registering multiple layers of masks. I Use it and love it. Worth...

Out of town, maybe the Cheltenham badlands, or perhaps take the ferry across the Toronto harbour and see Toronto islands, a sort of quiet country in the city community and get the sky line behind you.

You should pay the minimum bid difference between you and the next losing bidder.

Statistically you will be right either way, but I am going to give it a shot at my next session.

Platt D. Babbitt had the rights to Niagara Falls in the 1850's.

Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by strange?

I have kept my eyes open for several years now for just this thing, No success yet,; I haven't searched out a glass blower yet.

If you are comparing contrast and development times don't you have to force one tone (say middle grey) to be the same in each print?

You will likely need to modify the setup. There are several threads about this type of thing here.

Ah, You are a kinder man than I.
The companies have to make up some dimensions. As you say a bit of research and design. Unless the real problem is the samples of ArcaSwiss plates, they buy to...
