OK, I saw the Imogon threads below: very interesting, except for the "Gray Marke t Quarrel".
OK, having heard about the Imogon some time ago, I found one at, for me, a reaso nable price and in excellent++ shape. It is a 200mm in a Compound shutter with the 3 disks but no ND filter and no instructions. Playing around with it on my 4x5 for portrait and some still lifes has produced some good results and some no t so good. My questions:
1. Have I really bought the wrong one for 4x5? 2. How to properly use it. I have no instructions on it and so have just been f ooling with it, experimenting to see what effect I get. Anyone have a pdf of th e real instructions? I have seen some on ebay that were sold with the instructi ons.
TIA.
(P.S. No gray market quarrels -- please!)
