He could have gootten around Copyright infringement and not misleading or disappointing traditionalists by calling it "Undarkroom".:rolleyes:

I just wanted to take a minute to share this LFer's website. I have never heard if him until my brother just told me he bought some prints from him at an art show in Madison this past summer. This is...
I'm not afraid to say it and I don't need to be politically correct.................Merry Christmas!

Where are you located?

Marco,
Keep in mind that a reflection in the mirror is on a very different plane of focus than the object being reflected. In other words, if you were to stand in 10 feet in front of a mirror and...
Alec,
Another trick can be used here, but make sure the naptha vapors are gone first.
Try heating the barrell with a blow dryer set on high heat. The heat will soften any old gunked up...
The last time I bought Brasso it was on the grocery store shelf. It should be readily available.

My head aches

Brian,
I don't know if you've seen this yet or not, but it's quite interesting. You may be able to glean some ideas from this camera project.

Whoa! I thought I got top dollar for my Pentax Digital Spotmeter last month when it bought $430.00 on eBay. This one just sold (no case, IB, or holster) on eBay for $605.00. Both of them were not...
Subscribe to Photo Techniques and Shutterbug. Occasionally I'll buy a View Camera at Barnes and Noble if it looks interesting enough. I have to time my trip to B&N just right as that's the only store...
Anyone know why the Bausch & Lomb lenses sometimes have Zeiss in thier name. Was that done because Zeiss owned the patent on the formula of the glass? Example: B & L Zeiss Tessar or B & L Zeiss...
Paul F. said "B&L, Goerz and Wollensak each rebadged lenses, so did European companies, but they didn't redesign them so look for the matching aperture ring, it does look different."
Great...
Thanks for the replies thus far. I suspected that it was rebadged, but I didn't have a clue who actually may have made it. I'll search for old Mont. Ward catalogs.
Does anyone out there have one...
Sorry for borrowing from the recent thread concernong Zeiss lenses!
I have a lens labeled "8x10 Rapid Rectilinear No 2951" "Montgomery Ward & Co Chicago"
Can anyone tell me anything about it?...
Alec, you said "Given what I've read, I believe there is a 99.8% chance I will be enthralled with it. "
Okay, you've already got the mindset to get into LF, but I can't speak abou ULF because I...
For a "short" time ;) , these are mine, as, sadly, I'm getting out of LF :( . 90 Angulon, 90 Super Angulon, 127 Ektar, 138 B&L Zeiss Anastigmat Series V, 150 Symmar (convertible), 159 Wolly Ex W.A.,...
Don't we have digits "on the other hand" also?

Great April fools joke!

Well, once again what was intended to be a funny has hurt someone's feelings. Sorry about that.
It just seems that there are thousands of Koronas, Universals, Eastmans,Kodaks, Senecas, Deardorffs,...
Could it be because the US made most of the LF cameras?
The 8x10 Korona I had employed that type of springs on the gg back. They worked fine for me while I owned the camera. Yours should be fine as long as the tension is adequate to hold the film holder...
My money's on it being a Korona. There were several iterations of them while they were being made. (I've had two of them and looked at a TON of others of them of eBay.

Well, I've got to go on record as not being happy with this news. This is the easiest forum to see the threads on. I hope I can adjust easily. I have tried to browse the APUG forum but got completely...
"Any ordinary reducing back should accept a 545"
True enough, but if the seller made it carefully, you should not only be able to check exposure with the 8x10 back on the camera, but check the...
Matus,
I have had that model scanner for over a month now, but I have not done much with it. I've tried 35mm negative film and 4x5 negative film. My first few attempts were not very good. And the...
Thank you Neil. It indeed had gotten out of hand.
David
Dan,
Thanks for the info---I knew it was an older lens but I didn't think it would be that old. How far back before 1917 was that lens produced?
Daniel,
Please forgive me if I hijacked your...
Okay, I've got to ask about what may be a similar lens.
B&L Zeiss Anastigmat Series V 6 ½ x 8½ in a barrell mount, f 18 to 90.5 (waterhouse stops on a rotating wheel).
This is a different...
Hello,
I've got a 16 x 20 "Colortronic" print processing drum that I am trying to make work for a 20x24 print to not have to buy a larger drum or trays for which I don't have enough room for. My...
Thanks to all who gave many varied answers from which I will glean info and make a decision.

I'll soon be travelling from central FL to Southern CA for a week and I don't want the hassle of going through the questions around film holders and why they can't look at the film to inspect it, or...
So then, Minox users would be the piccolo players?

DG
Definitely No. 1

"The 300 Ronor is a lens designed for 1:1 reproduction at f22 and, as such, covers 8x10. It will not cover 8x10 at infinity"
Gee...........that's strange..............I just put mine on my...

If you bought the lens from Andrew Glover, aka Dagor77 ......

Brian,
Here is something that may be more than you're looking for. I've been looking at it lately, trying to decide if I want to buy a nickel plating kit to pretty up my Deardorff. You could buy...
Okay. Now we need to ask Bob S. how to pronounce EPOI.
How about it , Bob?

Negatives waaaaaayyyyy too thick? Bellows leak? Light meter off by about 14 stops? Just a few guesses; I'm not experienced enough to try to tackle this one confidently. :-)
In his earlier work, it...
