To be honest the biggest i think i wanna print if i ever have my own exhibition is i guess 60x75? but i might go full darkroom prints for that. i shoot 4x5.
whats a...

So after alot of troubles and search i got my self a really cheap 3200 epson perfection (30 whole dollars) and started scanning my negatives.

The question is, how large is too large to scan a...

Hello and sorry for so many messages.

I found an Anastigmat 89mm on a syncho compur r shutter that is really cheap but everything is working properly. now i know the lens is bad but i can take the...

so i opened up the lens, lubbed the speeds and it didn't fix anything, then i fiddled about with the cap and i have the 1 second speed working but not 1/2 and 1/5. everything else is on spot also....

so if i buy a compur shutter the elements will fit? is it that easy?
anyway the lens is usable 100% if i know which speeds aren't correct. i can compensate my speeds and use bulb until i fix the...

he asks 100 euro for a service if nothing else is needed. i can buy the prontor svs shutter for 25 euros on ebay plus 7 euros shipping to cyprus. thats what i need right?
why would i bother with...

none of these guys wants to fix anything thats has to do with mechanical equipment. I've sent a mail to camera clinic because i know he knows how to but he doesn't do the job any more maybe he can...

ok its confirmed my slow speeds are funky. i just developed a few sheets and everything that was on 1/2 1/1 1/5 is underexposed :)

any ideas where or how to fix the lens? thanks

but but. this doesn't sound like a 1 second exposure at all! what do you suggest i do to check? :) if the lens is fine i will sleep well tonight :)

Ok so i was playing around with my newly acquired camera and lens and i realized that the slow speeds are off. anything under 1/10 sounds like 1/25 (1/1 1/2 1/5)
being given that nobody in cyprus...

thank you very much but i don't think i wanna change anything on the lens. i'd rather spend money on a wider lens and some more sheet film . i am really excited to have started this journey. its like...

right now i borrowed a canon 1100D and trying to "scan" some 6x45 i have here and making tests. i will look for an HP and time will tell if i'll go for the epson any time soon.

Theres a G4050 for sale on ebay for 80 euros inc shipping that is refurbished but i still don't know if i can trust a scanner sale on the internet. these things are sensitive.
also how would i be...

Thank you very much for all your help :) i will probably go for a used G4050 until i see what i can do for an epson V800 +
how about the canon 9000? it doesn't cover the whole surface either right?...

thank you very much for your kind words. the thing is i don't need THE BEST quality i can get. i just want something to scan my negatives so i know that i'm doing well on learning my camera. i think...

i just spend 1000 euros on my first LF camera. it will be a while until i save up to get a proper scanner i am afraid. just looking for ways to scan and evaluate my LF work since i am just starting....

i am trying now on a really crappy scanner that scans, prints etc (those 40euro crap)
it doesn't really work but because of the really low quality of the scanner i think. Its not a shinning...

Hello!
I was reading about scanners because i want to scan 4x5 negatives.
What i see is that all i need is a light on the other side to hit on the negative and voila.
So. i have this amazing...

Ok so, i live in a small island and its really hard to find an enlarger for 4x5 negatives. all old labs either threw away their enlargers or they never shot 4x5 in their lives. i look like an outcast...

i fell inlove with the berlebach. i am putting some money aside and buying a berlebach for around 350 euros inc shipping :)

Thank you for your answers. :)
