Just because someone is asking $9000 for a lens does not mean they are actually selling for that amount. The last one I followed sold for around $3000.
Sleep in the 4Runner and you'll be fine. Not an issue for me in 2016, but times may have changed.
Considering the price new in barrel is not that much more than current used prices, it makes sense to me to buy the barrel version new and find a clean used Copal 3 shutter. badgergraphic.com is...
$300 for decent Copal 3, even if it has a Nikon W 240 in it, is a fair price. Depending on the age of your 355 G Claron it may fit into a Copal 3S.
6x5 Rectilinear Landscape lens. Originally sold to Hughes on April 7th, 1870.
Last time tried to order, 8x20 was out of stock. I was told it wasn't likely to come back. I do like their sleeves. I use the 7x11, 10x12, and 12x20 sleeves.
Separate in my kit as well (8x10 kit.)
The Doer's Guide is the best working manual out there.
Bostick & Sullivan makes a nice wet plate kit.
I have a very nice 10x12 A Pattern. Definitely the most interesting camera I own. Really an amazing technical camera for 1904. There was a 12x15 A Patterned auctioned in the last couple years. ...
Ah, that's likely a petzval, though some of these projection lenses are triplets. Not sure those markings are focal lengths. If the whole lens was an 18" lens, just the front would be something...
Pictures would make a world of difference in terms of identifying your lens.
There was a guy in Oregon, Larry Linville, who is known for making new radial drives for old American petzvals. Lovely work, not cheap. I think he is still working but I don't have contact info for...
Thanks. It's currently my primary format. Just starting to play around with the 22.25" Verito on 12x20 as well.
I recently had an 8x20 Korona. It wasn't the tracks on the focus rail as opposed to how loose the screws holding the front standard in place were. Once I locked the standard in place with focus...
I'd check difference between the location of the ground glass and the plate in the plate holder when the backs are switched again. I don't think it's an issue of chemical focus. at all. Though 5mm...
I believe Tester's Model glue is the factory recommended adhesive. (Seriously.)
How is this any different that the smooth black glass I can buy at my local stained glass shop?
I have a No. 6. Both groups unscrew from the barrel. Mine is missing the hood, I suspect it was lost long ago. Oh, I should add my lens also has traces of black paint on the front.
Is this the lens you bought from me? If so, it is an Apo Sironar W. Early examples just say Apo Sironar.
You should take a look at "Burning with Desire" by Batchen. It's about proto photography and the lead up to 1839.
So many threads on Dagors and some on Trigors here. Use the search function. And so many Goerz catalogs with details out there on the web.

I think Dugan has it.
Actually, with these Voigtlander Euryscops the f6 (Series IV) version almost always has better coverage than the f8 (Series VI version.) That 'C' is a challenge. We had a similar lens asked about...
Yes, it's same as the Congo as far as I know. Mine is in a Copal 3S from the late 80's.
Sure there is. The Osaka Commercial 360mm f6.8. Very sharp, light and usually cheap. It's a late coated Japanese Tessar. I love mine.
That's exactly what I was after. The 22.25" Verito I recently picked up is mounted in barrel with the flange at the back. My 12x20 Canham can hold the lens up but it does want to start tipping...
As it turns out, I ended up with the shorter Verito with the Studio shutter pictured in this thread via KEH. Small world.
Did you call them? I talked to someone there last year.

It's amazing stuff. And at the dilutions used for fixing plates, not particularly worrisome if used with care. I do have some, but you'd have to be in SF to pick it up. I'm mostly interested in...
Where are you located?
At no point in post #2 do you indicate you deleted the specifics in those brackets. Thus it makes the OP seem quite odd and this thread ridiculous.
This is so silly. We have all regretted getting rid of certain gear. Sometimes you get the opportunity to buy another example, sometime you don't. I can't imagine any piece of gear so rare that...
I think the Malde-Ware process is largely a printing out process.
I second that it's mostly likely for sale at [ ] for a very fair price of [ ].
Have you ever shot ultra large format? You might consider starting with 8x10 in order to get a feel for large format portraiture and landscape work. Ultra large format portraiture presents some...
