Looks like it's almost as difficult as folding a fitted sheet.

Nice shot.

Thanks John

13.5cm F4.2 Restored Plaubel Anticolar 100 years Olde by Nokton48, on Flickr

My eyes widened when I saw this 100 year olde 13.5cm F4.2 Anticomar lens (shutter huffed) on Ebay. I made an offer and it was accepted. Then took it to Mac at Camtronics who did an expert CLA on it. We both think it is 1930's era so 100 years olde, prolly off an olde 9x12cm Plaubel Folder. Cut and flocked a 3D printed Peco Junior board from Italy, painted the lens back with Flat Black Krylon with brush, it was really UGLY. Luscious to look through, but slightly hazy, as are all my Orthometars. Kind of like that Orthometar "look" kinda retro. Anyways a good example of how I restore something others might disgard. I see 100 examples of F2.9 Orthometar, to one F4.2 Orthometar. The "sharp" lens for commercial, reportage, and travel according to Plaubel. Works like new on my long rail Peco Junior. Finally I found a dark yellow glass disc in my filter box, and cut a strip of Hollywood Gaffer Tape, to attach it to the new F4.2 "Sharp" lens.

Recently I bought an original more modern 150mm F4.2, nice to have something just slightly wider if much older

Just got back from a trip to Nevada. Here's a view of the White mountains from Nevada

My lady and I explored one of the local walking trails yesterday. Along the way we discovered that the stories kids tell at night by flashlight during sleep-overs are actually true.

Kudzu Man does exist.



I screamed and ran back toward the car - she ran the other direction, farther into the woods.

I hope she is OK.
