Nice image Reinhold. I think there's an issue with your scanner though (D-max in lower left quarter of the image).

Agreed!!
I agree with all of the above. I'm only suggesting we express reasonable caution rather than borderline condemnation. I'm sure once a few folks try these optics the reports will trickle through. I...
The 'relevance' of that post has to do with Chinese quality at least sometimes being quite good. That's what my post was addressing.
...and don't forget Chamonix. :)
Speed control could easily be on the shutter via small push buttons and alpha-numeric display. There's no need for a lever. Ease-of-use could be enhanced by a wired or wireless remote. The aperture...
It's been a million years since I've developed sheet film but my method was almost identical to the OP's. However, I didn't agitate continuously the first minute, I didn't keep the film out of the...
I like this thread. I wonder why it's been sleeping for four and a half years.
I like that one, Corran.
yes... and fizzy :)
I very much like the juxtaposition, John.
Tink's causing trouble with Pan's what?? The vice squad should throw the book at her.
Where's Tink??
I see a very significant difference in 'perspective' between 150mm and 210mm, not to mention there will probably be times where changing distance isn't entirely effective for composition, requiring...
I think the only reason for an upgrade is if you need a larger image circle. Do have other lenses in various focal lengths?
I really like that last one, Alen.
You could adapt your various lens boards to accept one common board. For instance, I once had a Crown Graphic and Toyo View monorail. I mounted the front bits from a broken 4x5 Graflex to the front...
Austin, what film and developer did you use? Significant post processing after the scan?
Nice one Austin!!
IMO, 90mm is the limit on the Chamonix for a lot of shift. A bag bellows will help.
Yes, we do indeed need to cull through misinformation.
I'm only repeating what others have written but maybe this is a little easier to understand.
Foreshortening (many call this perspective distortion) is affected by subject to camera/lens distance....
LOL, Corran. :D
Very nice well-balance and interest composition, Austin. I think that's the best image of Easter Island statues I've seen.
Side note: I wonder if anyone has investigated what might be buried...
I think I read somewhere that Kodak used modified Ilex shutters on some of their lenses. Is it possible the shutter was replaced and the aperture scale transferred?
If you do cut it off, make sure you thoroughly cover the glass before cutting and assure every spec of ground metal is removed.
Is Maxwell's contact information the same as in post #4?
Hmmm......

I think some folks brought a shotgun to a nerf gun fight. :)
Any place that fer northeast o' Austin is gittin' too durn close to Yankee territory fer my like-'en.
Very well done, Eliverto.
Nice find!! The tripod blocks show up on eBay occasionally.
Just buy the front standard from a 4x5 Graphic (or a junk Graphic camera and rob the part) and mount it to the front of a Sinar board. Drill a hole in each corner and attach with machine screws...
Nodda, that last one is fantastic.
If the Wollensak is a f/1.9 Dumont CRO, those have been selling for crazy prices on eBay.
I really like that one, Corran. I prefer to see a bit of texture in the water because it shows fluid movement rather than looking like textureless fog. The overall textures and tones are lovely. I...
