Thank you! That is flattering though I am not doing it for business. Bellieve it or not this was just my first time restoring.

Reviving this thread.

I picked up several referrals to mcmaster—so the feeler gauges work well and would last as spring backs?

Or are there other options at McMaster that would work as well or...

Thanks! Will give this a think.

Reaching out to the group—what would be the best material to recreate LF spring backs? I have an upcoming restoration and would need help which material works best and where to source them.

Thanks Richard, appreciate it.

I was thinking the replating caused the threads to tighten up.

Mine is mounted on an older Copal #3 shutter—i'm assuming it's the single coated one and does not have threads for screw in filters—thanks for reminding re: SK Grimes makes sense to have a slip on...

Agree.

Hello,

Is there any resources online with regards to the lens coverage of the Docter 240mm Apo-Germinar W? I did a lens test on my Wisner 11x14 Technical Field and noticed sharp cuts on my edges....

The wobble is coming from the side tilt function of the A250 head. Where the forward tilt is secure when locked down, the side/left-right tilt has a wobble or play even when locked when my 11x14 ...

Nuts-wise you are referring to those that can be tightened using a hex key?

I have a Wisner 11x14 camera that I usually mount on my Ries outfit.

I noticed that when everything is locked down my camera still tilts left to right.

Are there nuts tighten the head further...

Any Wisner 11x14 camera users in the group?

Beautiful.

Thanks for all the responses and samples. Still continuing my research.

Yeah figured that out now, thanks!

My bad, thanks for all the inputs!

The table I should have shared:

Initial exposure; 1 pop e.g. f/8

Hello! Calling on to the knowledge of the group.

How do I determine the correct amount of additional pops per stop?

Is my math correct?

1 pop; initial exposure e.g. f/8
2 pops; +1 stop ...

Yes correct, for clarity, I am just shooting still objects.

Are the only exposure controls left just my aperture and flash power?

So if I needed for example +2 stops from my bellows...

Yes, acquainted with the inverse square law.

The long and short of it is, if I wanted to stick to my aperture for creative reasons, that means the only control I have is flash power correct? So...

Hello,

Planning on having two broncolor power packs and about 4 lamps to start using strobes for my still life set ups.

How can I effectively trigger my lampheads with sync cords?

That is correct.

Yeah I was thinking within those lines as well. Effectively eliminating the need to calculate reciprocity as well.

Are you using modelling lamps to guide you?

So theoretically wanting to make things bigger with bellows draw + a shorter focal length should work yeah? 1.5-2:1?
