thanks, that's a couple of good ideas. I will look into it. Happy shooting.

I have shot my first 7x17, and as the film was drying I realized what do I store these in. I don't imagine they make film sleeves. What do UFL users do?

I just picked up a Cambo 8x10 camera, and it came with large 8.5"x8.5" lens boards in the box with it
. Bigger than the standard boards. They don't fit this camera, just wondering what they fit?

It was the Photographers Formulary four liter kit. I mixes up the four liters of stock last week, and used one liter with one packet of amidol. This week I took my second liter, added one package...

Its a combi standard I just picked up for $15.

Is there any way to tighten up, the upper part of the tripod leg hinge. I can turn the screw but it just turns, and does not tighten. Any Ideas?

I just got a top rangefinder graflex, and its missing some cover on the back of the rangefinder. It almost looks like you put a battery in it, but I don't think you do. So what is it, and where can...

Thanks for the replies, Its time for me to learn some enlarger repairs, thanks for the help.

I have a Omega D enlarger with the chromega head, that the fan stopped working. Im not sure how to trouble shoot the problem. Has anyone had to replace one, and how would you go about it?

Glad to hear it, selenium is getting hard to find, and getting expensive.

Someone gave me 4 old glass bottles of Kodak selenium toner. They have never been opened, and I wonder if they would be still any good. Any thoughts.

I have several lenses that have stiff aperture rings, how do you go about cleaning them. I tried to squirt some lighter fluid around the ring, it loosens it up for a few hours but that's it. What...

thanks for the info. I will step up my search for the retaining ring, and mount this on my Deardorff.

I just got a apo nikkor 600mm f9, and I have a couple of questions. First question would this lens be any good for shooting 8x10? It came with 4 waterhouse stops marked 600, they all look to be the...

The back I thought the back was a wet plate, since it seems to be hinged on the long dimension of the frame, nothing like a spring back. Condition wise, the wood looks in great user or would be a...

I have a friend that is trying to sell two large studio cameras, and asked me for help. These are a little older than I have knowledge about regarding price etc. The first camera is what I believe...

Yes it was a Voiglander 50cm Periscope lens

Its part of an estate I am buying. The owner has boxes of new old stock Hasselblad, and the cool Rolleiflex sl2000, left over from a store he owned in the 80s. The empire camera will be just kind...

Does anybody shoot 16x20? I am being offered an Empire 16x20 camera, that appears to be in good shape except for the bellows. I am thinking of picking it up and doing a light restoration on it,...

I was just given a box of old Kodak chemicals, the powdered packages. I was wondering how long they last. Also a bottle of Kodak fixer, I think its from the 80's would it be still good, or just...

I am looking for a case for my 11x14 Deardorff V11 camera. Something like a Lightware case, that the camera could be top loaded. Any users out there with ideas that work for them. A picture or two...

Bought these lenses as part of a box lot and I am having trouble identifying them. One is a brass 8 inch lens with f stops ranging from f8 to f64. It seems to cover my 8x10 camera but that's all I...

Just picked up the camera. Its a nice set up, the lens is quite impressive looking mounted on the camera. This is my first speed graphic, so there's going to be a bit of a learning curve to figure...

I have found out that there is two versions of the lens. The regular f4.5, and one called the Universal Heliar which is the soft focus lens

The camera and lens are in great shape, one of the best I have seen. It also comes with a grafmatic holder and two bag mags, which I have never seen before.

I just came across in an antique store, a wartime 4x5 Speed Graphic, with its all black finish. It has a voiglander 30cm f4.5 heliar lens mounted on it. I was just wondering if this is a good...

I think they are synthetic, and the problem is mainly at the corners.

I have a Deardorff v11 that was stored for about ten years. The bellows have become sticky in the corners, and I was wondering any safe way to clean them up. Other than that the bellows look to be...

It is 18.5 x 18.5", so it probably does come from the studio camera. I wonder if I could take apart the frame to make it smaller, or just be on the lookout for the proper back.

I just picked up a Deardorff V11, #202. It came with a 11x14-8x10 revolving back, and a 11x14 back, but when I went to attach the 11x14 back, the frame on it is too big, so it must be a reducing...

I just picked up a 6" f5.6 Dallon Tele-Anastigmat, which came in a box lot. I can't find out any info on it, like what type of lens it is, or how it is used. It has a black barrel with a silver...

I am looking to replace my bellows on my Linhof 70. Does anyone have experience with the ones out of China, or should I track down an original Linhof one.

My prints arrived, and look great. I think this is the best group of prints I have recieved from all the print swaps I have been in. Good work everyone, and thank you Scott for all your work.

The prints are on there way.

The serial # is 11540 which is from the second run of units with the double bearing motor, and it does have the white clips.
