Steven, interesting to see your "Time Line"
I have another bigger Euryscope, which I have always regarded as being a series1V lens although it bears no marking to support this line of thought.

Thanks guys for the two sets of images, with "In Wien und Braunschweig" script lenses.
Really interesting
Colin
I was quite interested by this thread and thought that one of my earlier "Euryscopes" was similar to that of the original poster. Mine turned out to be a few years younger, serial # 25510, with the...
Hello,
As requested here are a couple of snaps of one of my Paterson Orbital processors.
The shot of the tank base, clearly shows the "tiddley wink" style buttons, to lift the film clear of the...
Hello,
For efficient trouble free processing og sheet films in the Paterson Orbital processor, the fins or ribs, need to be removed.
How high are your epoxy domes? You only need to just lift the...
Sorry Guys another senior moment, too early in the morning!
Thanks everyone for your input.
Much apreciated and will pass on the relevant comments on the B&J issue to my friend

I wonder if any forum member can help with the following queries :-
One on behalf of a friend with a very nice Burke & James 5" x 7" camera, whose handle/strap broke recently. Fortunately no damage...
Kirk,
Thanks for that.
I had thought along similar lines and following your advice, did indeed find a thread on this forum that dealt loosely with the problem, but looking specifically at a Dagor....
I am considering disposing of some Red-Dot Artar lenses and am intrigued by the serial number on my 24"/f11 . This appears to have alloy rather than brass cells and is numbered 0018. If I do decide...
My friend Tillman Crane, will be running a shooting workshop here on the magical islands of Lewis and Harris, during September 2010. All formats welcome with a flexible approach to suit individual...
More U.K. interest, please keep us posted on progress.
Colin
Thank you all for your input, The figure of 67mm came from a May 18th 2008 thread, entitled, G-Claron 355mm, Dagor Type
Colin
Perhaps one of the lens guru's can shed some light on this. I recently acquired a couple of barrel type G-Claron lenses. A very nice, but ordinary 210mm and a rather older and more interesting 355mm...
I noticed on U.K. E-Bay a few days ago that someone was selling "New" , boxed pairs of Fidelity, 5" x 7" Filmholders. Apparently they had several sets. I know these have been in short supply, (no...
Struan,
Thanks for your reply. Does that mean, that lenses marked Cook Butcher, Alddis Butcher etc were probably destined for Butcher cameras?
A modern anology may be "Linhof" selected lenses....
This is often seen on older lenses. An obvious question perhaps, but who was the Butcher part of the name and why the connection. Can anyone help with further information?
Colin Myers
Still looking, anyone in Europe have one of these in fair fettle, they want to part with. Shipping seems to be a problem from the U.S.A.
Colin
Thanks Mike, I had not realised that Seth had this item on his site
Still looking for a yellow one!
Can anyone throw any light on the drop in filters which were used with the 12"/305mm Kodak Portrait lens. I belive I have heard them referred to as Kodak Series 1X. Is this correct and what form do...
This does raise a very interesting point about the plane of sharp focus of the Boss Screen. Would images taken with the lens stopped well down, appear sharper than those taken with a bigger...
Thanks to everyone who volounteered help.
Michael came up with the relevant information for me and I can now manufacture the
missing part , prior to sale of the enlarger.
Thanks everyone. A...
Hello Tony,
Thank you for your very prompt offer of help and photographs.
Sadly, your enlarger appears dramatically different to my problem machine.
Many thanks anyway
Best Regards
Colin
Hi,
Does any form member, have one of these old Durst Laborator 1000 enlargers, with condenser head, and would be prepared to let me have some measurements or photos of part of the head. I have...
As most metal lensboards/lenspanels, tend to be around a sixteenth of an inch in thickness and we may be looking at a fairly large diameter thread on the the old brass lens. I do not think that...
Thanks Ernest,
Does anyone have any idea of the age? Is there a published list one can check serial/production number against year. 56,731 sounds an awful lot of lenses for early on, unless they...
Steve,
No problem, grateful for anything on this. I had not heard of a Series 1V before this.
Colin
A friend has just found one of these, with serial # 56,731 and engraved for 8" x 10".
This is a brass barrel lens with a maximum aperture of f5.6.
Does anyone have any further information, idea of...
Thank you everyone for your various solutions, now spoilt for choice.
I will have to mull over these and decide which looks to work best, also availability of materials. Many Thanks
Colin Myers
Does anyone know what the, original black finish was on old Waterhouse Stops?
These were mainly manufactured from brass. Would Oil Blacking work, or is there another chemical process one could use...
Hello Paul,
One aspect of the proposed holder which has not been touched on, is weight.
You are specifying a s/s sheath or dark slide, surely this will incur a heavy weight penalty over plastic? Or...
Paul,
Fired up with enthusiasm for the "quick" method, I thought I would try and apply this to another Euryscop I have. I think this is a series 4, #6, focal length 21.33". It came complete, with...
Paul,
Thanks for that. I had already worked them out longhand, using the actual stop diameter, with obviously, very slightly different results. But this is a lot quicker. Neat tip!
Thanks all of you. I tried the viewing from the rear and reading a transparent rule. Now almost spot on f6. Many thanks for the tip. Colin
Hello, I wonder if anyone can assist with this. I have just acquired a Voigtlaender Euryscop series 1V, #3 lens. I understand this to have a focal length of 11.5" and it has one original, full...
Beware. The plastic used for Dark Slide sheaths is of a special, anti-static type.
They are normally strange thicknesses for the regular formats. Careless withdrawal of a slide made from regular...
Several of you have mentioned visible dust. You may wish to check the fan side of the head for dust and fluff. It is is relatively easy to split the head casing, to expose this area of the head. I...
Thanks Michael, I will check that out
Chris,
Thanks for the advice.
I have small darkroom with very small sink area and am trying to come up with something a lttle more ecoconscious, using the minimum amount of water.
Colin
I am still exploring the best means of safely washing the above sizes of sheet films.
Having looked carefully at the current proprietary offerings, the Paterson Auto Print Washer looked as if it...
