It's probably perfectly fine. Rail cameras are usually less expensive. Horsemans are make great ones though.

That's what I thought, but this lens does not look to have been converted or manipulated... It has a red dot on both barrel and shutter. They look paired for sure.

Was that for focusing on the folder?

Ian, you seem to be knowledgable about this lens; I just noticed the front element turns freely. It also has some markings on the sides of the barrel. What is the purpose?

Thanks Ian. I bought this lens for portraiture so it will suit those needs quite well.

Hi guys, so I thought I would update what I found out with the Zeiss 120 4.5 lens. It showed up today and I shot a few sheets. Front standard was zeroed but I did swing the rear,...

Lol awesome Dr Tang! :D

It's essentially this same lens, only in 120 instead of the 105. Not sure what it came off of as they are usually 105's. The guy I'm buying it from had both the 105 and the 120mm.

That camera eccentric is awesome!

Ok thank you so much for the info everyone.

Hello all,

So I've tried searching all over this forum but can't seem to find any info on the Zeiss 120mm 4.5 Tessar's. I'm pretty sure it was designed for the 6x9 folder's back in the day which...

I think $200 is the base starting point for selling an 8x10 silver gelatin print. That's my low price for prints of that size, and I have sold them @ that. I have no reputation as of yet, except...

The last lens I purchased from them was exactly as Leigh has noted, and it was also rated as EX. Like new condition, without a mark to be found on it. Only once have I received an item I wasn't...

Another post for never. If I can no longer get film I will switch to wet plate or some other method. That doesn't mean I don't shoot digital, but I don't enjoy it nearly as much. I work in LF for my...

Interestingly, I purchased a nice Rodenstock from Singapore last year. Got it dirt cheap, and in excellent condition. I admit I was a bit sketchy about the purchase, but Paypal is pretty good about...

That's a bummer, but it's worth fixing. I have that same lens and love it.

I agree with that "prime lens" statement... had someone going on about it the other day, and they had no idea what the hell they were talking about.

How about "nice capture?" I hate that phrase every time I see it on Flickr.

:D

So... the 105 f8 showed up today. Super fast seeing as I paid for it on Monday. Other than the Fujiitus, it is immaculate, literally. The glass and all exterior components cannot be distinguished...

Also the Manfrotto has a seperate tension adjustment knob which is nice, and I have other Manfrotto gear and it's always been extremely reliable.

Good luck!

I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-494RC2-Release-Replaces-484RC2/dp/B002WN211Y

I was originally going to purchase the Really Right Stuff BH-25 Pro:...

PS, my Fujinon 250 has a good bit of "Fujiitis" and I've shot some great color images with it, so I expect the 105 should be the same.

I was watching that item and purchased it before I found this thread. I too hope they are okay. If they are and I get the lens, I'll let you know how it goes. I have two other Fuji's, the 120 f/8,...

My Toyo 45CF folds up with a mounted 200 Nikkor M, without having to reverse mount it. They're also capable of folding up with the newer Rodenstock 135 and 150mm lenses. I know many have disparaged...

The rear element is pushed closer to the film plane but the front standard is moved forward thereby allowing for more movement with the wide angle.

Thanks for the info!

I'd love to know where to get some of that 8x10 infrared color film. That stuff has an incredible look to it.

Congratulations! I really like the Pioneer Church at night.

A picture of the water's edge. Iron oxide contamination. Rodenstock 75mm MC @ F/22. Expired Portra 400NC I picked up here on the forum.
...

For what it's worth my vote goes for the 75mm too. I personally don't like the angle of view from a 90, and regularly use a 120mm except when I a bit more coverage. I use the Grandagon 4.5 MC...

I would love to hear any recommendations for a cheap, reliable, darkroom light that won't fog paper. Thanks in advance.

Frank has a good point here. I usually try to find any info on my own accord as I'm sure forum members get tired of answering the same questions repeatedly, but often this isn't possible. I end up...

Well I'm still a LF nub and I'm just trying to learn as much as possible. The 01 is supposed to be the same as the copal 0? It seems a bit larger and indeed it fits in what is typified as a "copal 1"...

I recently obtained a lens in a Prontor Professional 01. It's a neat shutter, but I'm having trouble finding info on it, and was wondering if we have any uber experts on the Prontor shutter line....

:D LMAO Eddie

I agree with George but worry about the theft too, in the end I don't post much of anything as a result. :(

Frank, is that her before and after the suit? And what's that on the ground? in the "after" shot? Do you have to shred your way out of it or what?

Great images as always by the way.

Not for me either.

I'm a new (relatively) member, and in the past few months I have been on this site almost daily, if not more. I was primarily a medium format shooter, but after a bit of practice and access to great...
