G'Day Mark!
Thanks to you and mhayashi for all of that great information on the Arca system. Although the majority of work I'll do with this camera is with film, I would still like the opportunity...
I apologize if I’ve insulted you, I certainly didn’t mean to. I appreciate the time you’ve taken to reply. You’ve actually answered a couple of my questions as I’ve thought the more modern F line...
Yes I've seen the video and it's this camera (the F Series) that I'm measuring against the Ebony (I had already mentioned that it's the F series in the title of the thread). But thank you for...
I have the opportunity to get either of these cameras and I've been debating that choice for a while. The Ebony second-hand has been offered to me at about the same price as a new Arca Swiss.
I...
Actually Steven I have another query. The largest of the Holtermann plates was 60" on its longest side. A 36" x 36" triplet lens wouldn't have covered that plate at infinity....
Thanks very much Steven, that's perfect! I'll forward it on.
I've been contacted by the NGA in Australia about these rare and extremely large wet plates made by Holterman in Sydney.
It was reported that he used a specially constructed 100" Dallmeyer lens...
Thank you!

I just received my new bellows on frames from Keith at Custom Bellows UK.
The frames had a bit of adhesive when I removed them but I’m tempted not to use one so the bellows may be removed more...
Thanks but that's the website that I sent the emails to. Have a read of the link Chuck posted above.
Thanks Chuck...that's very sad news...
I've sent a couple of emails with no reply. I also contacted a friend who has one of the testimonials on their website and no-one is answering the calls he's made nor his emails.
Does anyone know...
I did a bit of a quick forum search and can’t find any recent recommendations on where to buy a new bellows for my Master Technika. I’m based in Australia so am prepared to fit it myself once I find...

Thanks Steve!
I just received a PM informing it requires a 3S retaining ring...cheers!
I just received a lens with an older copal 3 shutter without a retaining ring. I'm trying to find one but am unsure what size it would be. I tried one off my Nikkor W 240mm in a copal 3 and it was...
And another 11x14 on agfa green sensitive film.

Yes it is!
Here's an 11"x14" shot of the great Jerry Spagnoli at work during our road trip in 2013. Shot on Agfa green sensitive film.
Nice and dense for a salt print.

Thank you Nana!
Here's a quarter plate mercurial daguerreotype I made a couple of weeks ago. I made the leather case to house it last week.
Please excuse the poor iPhone photos of the d-type in the case.

Scan of a whole plate neg using Agfa Ht-g. Developed in Rodinal 1:120 for 10 mins.
I've exposed and developed to produce higher density for salt prints. I actually like the glowing highlights in...
I agree Sergei...an excellent portrait!
Thanks Ian, I do appreciate the time you put into finding and sharing this with me.
I had a bit of a scan of the other catalogues but can't find it (might be my eyes) but not to worry.
I've had a good look on the ground glass and it projects a very nice image that covers 4x5...
Thanks Ian, I appreciate the link!
I had a read...mines quite a bit older than those advertised and is marked with imperial measurements (6") and is the f3. The fastest I can see in the ad is the...
Just got this lens for some daguerreotypes due to its speed. I know they were used in press cameras but I've done a bit of a search and can't find out too much about it. Other trioplans I can see...
Thanks Peter! It's certainly been a lot of failures to get to this point :)
"Fantastic shots, great perspective. I like the light/dark motif, especially in the 2nd."
Cheers Corran...glad you...
A couple more...
Chamonix whole plate loaded with Agfa Ht-G.
Shot with 150mm Schneider SSXL @ f64 for 3sec and f45 for 1sec respectively.
Developed in Rodinal 1:120 for 10 mins. Tanks and...
Thanks for the comments axs810 and ImSoNegative!
Still just beginning with this stuff so doing quite a bit of testing. Seeing how orthochromatic the Agfa actually is by photographing some skies......

Thanks Garrett!
Thanks guys....amazing as usual! I'll measure the FL etc sometime over the next couple of days (away for work at the moment) and let you know. Garrett I'll have a look for that tiny writing at the...
Another lens I just acquired is very nice petzval stamped with 'A COIFFIER' and 'Paris'. I haven't heard of this maker before. Could be another one of those opticien's producing lenses as they did...
I have recently picked up quite a few lenses. One of them is a complete Lerebours petzval with a serial number of 2600. As far as I can see this is quite an early manufacture but I don't want to make...
This sounds perfect but I can't find any 11"x14" hangers other than the ones at Wolfe supplies and they won't ship one hanger here to me here in Australia for under $100. Anyone with such a hanger...
